Privacy Policy
Last updated: Jan 7, 2026
Basis ("we", "us") provides a browser extension that allows users to import data from connected sources and upload that data to third-party AI models at the user's direction.
1. Data We Collect
We collect and process only the data you explicitly connect or upload, including:
- Gmail content (emails and metadata you authorize)
- Slack content (messages and metadata you authorize)
- Google Drive files and metadata you authorize
- Files you upload directly through the extension
We do not collect data beyond what is required to provide the service.
2. How We Use Data
We use your data solely to:
- Ingest and store it so it can be sent to AI models you select
- Upload selected data to third-party AI services when you explicitly trigger an action (e.g., clicking a button)
We do not analyze, sell, train models on, or otherwise repurpose your data.
3. Data Sharing
Your data is shared only with:
- Third-party AI providers you choose, including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google)
Data is uploaded only when you explicitly request it. Each provider's use of data is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
4. Data Storage and Retention
We store the content you import or upload so it can be shown back to you and used for the features you request (including sending it to third-party AI providers when you explicitly choose to do so). We make this stored data available to you in the product so you can review what we have. You may delete stored content from our system at any time. When you delete content, we will remove it from our active systems and it will no longer be processed or sent to third parties.
5. User Control
You control:
- Which sources are connected
- What data is sent
- When data is sent
- Which AI provider receives the data
No data is sent automatically without user action.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Third-Party Services
Basis relies on third-party platforms (Gmail, Slack, Google Drive, AI providers). We are not responsible for their data practices.
8. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the extension constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
