Browserbase promises not to train generative AI models on your browser data without affirmative consent, but its terms take an irrevocable perpetual sublicensable licence over user contributions and the privacy policy sets out almost no access, deletion, correction or portability rights.

What Browserbase's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

No training without consent

The policy states that Browserbase does not use your browser data to train any generative artificial intelligence models without your affirmative consent, though it names no setting or form through which that consent is given or withdrawn.

Perpetual licence over contributions

The terms of use take an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, worldwide licence over user contributions, including the right to sell, resell and grant sublicenses for any commercial or advertising purpose.

Data rights are near-absent

Beyond a California direct-marketing opt-out and a Nevada sales statement, the policy grants no general right to access, delete, correct or export personal data, and sets no deletion timeline after an account closes.

Retention is open-ended except for recordings

Personal data is kept for as long as necessary to provide the Services with no stated period, while session recordings carry a concrete thirty-day limit.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
Not stated: a right to access your data
