Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
CoBriefiT ("we", "us") is a browser extension and companion website that helps aviation crew turn their own training content into revision notes. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it. We've tried to keep it plain.
The short version. The notes and images CoBriefiT captures come from training you are viewing. Free "quick briefings" are produced entirely on your own device and never leave it. Only when you choose to generate an AI briefing is the captured text (and, where relevant, captured images) sent to our processing service to write the briefing — and it is not used to train any AI model or kept longer than needed to produce your result.
What CoBriefiT captures
When you press Start, the extension reads the content of the training slides you are viewing:
- Text shown on each slide.
- Images on each slide (e.g. diagrams, hazard labels), downscaled and compressed.
CoBriefiT is read-only: it does not click, advance, submit answers, or alter your training or its completion record. It only reads what is already on screen.
Where captured content is stored
- Captured notes and images are stored locally in your browser (extension storage) so you can export a briefing.
- You can delete them at any time with the "Clear notes" button.
- Local data is not transmitted anywhere for the free, on-device "quick briefing".
When content is sent to our service (AI briefings)
If you choose to generate an AI briefing (a Pro feature, with one free sample per 30 days), the captured text — and captured images only where the module contains a labelled set that benefits from image matching — is sent over an encrypted connection to our processing service, which uses a third-party AI provider (currently Anthropic) to generate your briefing. In that process:
- The content is used only to produce your briefing and is returned to you.
- It is not used to train any AI model.
- It is not retained by us beyond what is needed to generate and return the result.
- We do not sell it or share it with anyone other than the AI provider acting on our behalf to produce your output.
Please avoid capturing content you are not permitted to process off-device. You are responsible for ensuring you may use your training materials in this way.
Account & payment data
- If you subscribe to Pro, payment is handled by our payment processor (Stripe). We do not receive or store your full card details.
- We store the minimum needed to run your subscription and to enforce the free-sample allowance — for example an account identifier and your plan status.
Anonymous usage identifier
To enforce the "one free AI briefing per 30 days" allowance, the extension generates a random identifier stored on your device. It is not linked to your name and is used only for that counting purpose.
What we don't do
- We don't run adverts or sell your data.
- We don't capture anything outside the training pages while capturing is on.
- We don't track your browsing on other sites.
Your choices
- Capture only runs when you press Start, and stops when you press Stop.
- You can clear captured notes at any time.
- You can use CoBriefiT entirely on-device (free quick briefings) and never send anything to our service.
- To request deletion of any account data, contact us below.
