Privacy Policy

Last updated August 5, 2025

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Fabraix Assistant ("the extension," "the service") handles information when you use our browser extension. Fabraix Assistant is an AI tool that helps you automate workflows, summarize information, and conduct research by interacting with websites on your behalf.

This policy explains what information is collected and processed to make the service function, and how it is used. The core principle of Fabraix Assistant is to keep your data private and secure. On-page information is used in real-time to perform actions you request and is not stored or used for any other purpose.

Information Processed to Provide the Service

To function, Fabraix Assistant needs to process certain types of information. This processing is essential for understanding your commands and interacting with web pages.

  • User Authentication Information: To provide a personalized and secure service, Fabraix Assistant uses Google Sign-In for authentication. This involves accessing your basic Google profile information, such as your email address and name, to identify you as a user of the service.

  • User Commands and Prompts: Any command, question, or prompt you type into the assistant is processed to understand your intent and initiate the correct action or workflow.

  • Web Page Content (Real-Time): This is the most critical component. When you ask the assistant to perform a task (like summarizing an article or finding information), it processes the content of the relevant web page in real-time. This can include the page’s text, structure (DOM), and a visual representation (screenshot). This information is sent to our secure backend service solely to determine the sequence of actions required to fulfill your request and is immediately discarded after the task is complete.

  • Technical and Session Data: To maintain functionality and security, the service may process technical information such as your IP address (for security and abuse prevention), browser type, and operating system. This information is used for troubleshooting and ensuring compatibility.

Fabraix Assistant is designed to work with your browser's password manager. If a login is required to complete a task, you will be prompted to use your saved credentials. The extension never sees, stores, or transmits your actual passwords.

How Information Is Used

Information is processed for the sole purpose of providing and improving the service's core functionality. This includes:

  • Executing Your Commands: Using your prompts and the context from web pages to perform the automations, summaries, or research you have requested.

  • Service Operation: Ensuring the extension works correctly, troubleshooting issues, and maintaining security against malicious activity.

  • Responding to Support Requests: If you contact us for help, we will use your contact information and any details you provide to assist you.

  • Improving the Service: Anonymized and aggregated data about feature usage (e.g., how many times the "Summarise" feature is used) may be used to understand what is most valuable to users and guide future improvements. Prompts and page content are not used to train general AI models.

Subprocessors

To deliver a reliable service, Fabraix Assistant relies on a minimal number of essential third-party service providers (subprocessors) to process information.

  • Google: Used for the "Sign in with Google" authentication service to securely manage your user account.

  • Backend Service Provider: We use a secure, cloud-based backend service (e.g., Google Cloud, AWS) to host our API and run the AI models that process your prompts and page context to generate actions for the assistant.

These subprocessors are chosen for their high standards of security and are compliant with data protection regulations.

Accepting Third-Party Policies

During a workflow, the assistant may need to interact with website pop-ups, such as cookie consent banners, on your behalf to complete a task. By using the service, you acknowledge that the assistant may need to accept these policies to proceed with your requested action.

Your Right to Remove Your Information

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information associated with your Fabraix Assistant account. To do so, please send a request to founders@fabraix.com.

Additional Disclosures for California Residents

This section provides additional details for California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Fabraix Assistant collects the following categories of personal information:

  • Identifiers: Such as your name and email address, collected during Google Sign-In.

  • Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information: Such as your interaction with web pages, which is processed in real-time to execute commands.

Fabraix Assistant does not collect sensitive information such as protected classification characteristics (e.g., race, gender), biometric information, sensory data, professional or employment-related information, or education information.

The information collected is used solely for the business purposes described in the "How Information Is Used" section of this policy. We do not sell your personal information. As a California resident, you have the right to request information about our data practices, request the deletion of your data, and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Data Retention

Your information is retained only for as long as is necessary to provide you with the service or to satisfy any legal or accounting requirements. Account information is retained as long as your account is active. Information processed during a task (like page content) is not retained after the task is complete.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will always reflect the most current version. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how your information is protected. Your continued use of the extension constitutes your agreement to the updated policy.
