Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 5, 2026
SauceTab is a research capture tool. This policy explains what we collect, why, how we use it, and the choices you have, across the SauceTab web app and the SauceTab browser extension.
The short version. We only capture a web page when you ask us to. We use your captures to power your own research workspace. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

1. Information we collect
Account information
When you create a SauceTab account, we collect your email address and a user ID, and, if you sign in with Google, your name and profile image as provided by Google. We use this to identify you and route your captures to the correct workspace.
Content you capture
When you explicitly capture a page through the extension or app, we collect the content you chose to save: the article text, full page, your selection, or your highlights, along with the page URL, title, author, publish date, thumbnail, and similar metadata. Any notes you add are stored with the capture. This content is saved to your account so you can organize, search, and reason over it.
Authentication data
To keep you signed in, the extension and app store a session token locally on your device. It is used only to authenticate your requests to SauceTab.
Billing information
If you subscribe to a paid plan, payments are processed by Stripe. We receive limited billing details (such as plan, status, and the last four digits of your card); we never receive or store your full card number.
Technical and usage data
Like most web services, our servers process standard technical data (such as IP address and request logs) to operate the service, keep it secure, and diagnose problems.
2. How the browser extension handles your data
The SauceTab extension is designed to touch your browsing as little as possible:
- It reads a page only when you start a capture (via the toolbar, side panel, right-click menu, or a keyboard shortcut). It does not read pages in the background or track your browsing.
- It communicates only with the SauceTab API (
api.saucetab.com) and our authentication service (cdardnzzedivmdvglcrm.supabase.co). - Reader view and the highlighter run locally in your browser to help you prepare a page before you decide to save it.
- If a capture cannot be sent because you are offline, it is held on your device and retried automatically, so nothing is lost.
Each extension permission maps to this single capture purpose: activeTab and scripting read the page you choose to capture; identity signs you in; storage keeps you signed in and holds pending captures; alarms retries offline captures; contextMenus and sidePanel provide capture entry points; and clipboardWrite lets you copy a clean article or your highlights.
3. How we use your information
- To provide the core service: storing, organizing, searching, and displaying your captures.
- To generate research features on your own content, such as summaries, embeddings for semantic search, extracted entities, and synthesized answers with citations.
- To authenticate you and secure your account.
- To operate billing and subscriptions.
- To maintain, debug, and improve the service, and to communicate with you about it.
4. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We use a small set of trusted service providers ("sub-processors") to run SauceTab, and share only what each needs to perform its function:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication, database, and storage for your account and captures. |
| Cloudflare | Hosting, the API backend, and file storage for captured assets. |
| AI model providers | Processing your captured content to generate summaries, embeddings, entities, and answers. This runs to provide features to you. |
| Stripe | Payment processing for paid plans. |
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of SauceTab and our users.
5. Data retention
We keep your account and captures for as long as your account is active. You can delete individual captures and buckets at any time from within the app; deleting a capture removes it and its derived data (such as summaries and embeddings) from your workspace. If you close your account, we delete or de-identify your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we must retain limited records to meet legal or accounting obligations.
6. Security
We protect your data in transit with encryption (HTTPS), scope access to your authenticated workspace, and store credentials and content with reputable infrastructure providers. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard your information and to respond promptly if an issue arises.
7. Your rights and choices
- Access and export: you can view your captures in the app and request a copy of your data.
- Correction and deletion: you can edit or delete captures and buckets, and request deletion of your account.
- Sign out and disconnect: you can sign out of the extension at any time, and remove it from your browser to stop all data collection.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA, including the right to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any right, contact us using the details below.
8. Children
SauceTab is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the service evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
