Last Updated: January 2026 · Effective Date: January 20, 2026

At Banus ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered browser automation service, including our website (banus.ai) and browser extension (collectively, the "Service"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. 1. Information We Collect

We collect information in several ways depending on how you interact with our Service:

Account Information

When you create an account or join our waitlist, we collect your email address, name (if provided), and any referral codes you use. If you subscribe to a paid plan, we collect payment information through our secure payment processor (we do not store full credit card numbers).

Browser Extension Data

Our browser extension is designed with privacy as a core principle. The extension processes web page content locally on your device to understand and execute your automation tasks. We do NOT collect or transmit the content of web pages you visit, your browsing history, passwords or sensitive form data, or personal information from websites you interact with. The extension only communicates with our servers to: verify your subscription status, receive AI model responses for task planning, and send anonymous, aggregated usage analytics (which can be disabled).

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and may only use it for the specific services they provide to us.
