Privacy

This explains what Browside collects when you use it and why. We keep it to the minimum the service needs.

What we collect

• Account: your email address and a salted hash of your password (we never store the password itself).
• Sessions: the URL you test, the browser and screen size, and start/end times. Guest sessions are deleted after 7 days; account sessions after 30 days.
• Usage: counters for how many sessions you start and for how long, to apply plan limits.
• Founding promotion: email verification date and any promotional Pro expiration date.
• Optional feedback: your star rating, comment, date, and the associated session and account or guest identifier. We do not capture browser contents for the survey.
• Network data: your IP address, used for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
• Cookies: a login cookie for accounts and an anonymous identifier cookie for guests. Both are strictly necessary; we use no advertising or analytics cookies.
• Payments: plan status, payment amounts, and provider transaction IDs. Card details go directly to Stripe and crypto payments are handled by our crypto payment provider; we never see card numbers.

What we do not collect

The websites you open run in a remote browser that is destroyed when the session ends. We do not record, store, or inspect the pages you view or anything you type into them. Do not enter real credentials or personal data into sites you are testing.

Who processes data for us

• MongoDB Atlas (database hosting)
• Cloudflare (website delivery and network protection)
• Stripe and our crypto payment provider (payments)
• Our email provider (password reset and service emails)

Your choices

You can ask us to export or delete your account and its data at any time by emailing us. Deleting an account removes your sessions, usage records, feedback, and profile; payment records may be kept as long as the law requires.

Security

Passwords are hashed with Argon2id, login cookies are HTTP-only, and remote browsers run in isolated, restricted environments with no access to our database. No system is perfectly secure; report problems to us right away.
