Privacy at Navi
Navi is a browser extension that guides you through websites. This page explains, in plain words, what it reads, where that goes, and what it never touches.
This is a working draft that matches how Navi behaves today. It will be reviewed and finalized, with a contact address and data-retention terms, before Navi is published in browser stores.
When Navi reads anything
Navi has no access to your browsing in general. It only works on a tab after you click its toolbar coin, and the first time, it asks for your agreement before sending anything.
Navi can also ask, once, whether it may follow you when a quest opens a new tab or takes you to another website (a checkout or a delivery company's tracking page). If you say yes, Navi continues the quest there and reads that page while the quest runs. It only follows tabs opened from the tab where your quest is running, never your other tabs, and you can turn this off in your browser's extension settings.
What Navi sends while it guides you
- Your goal, typed into Navi's panel, and answers you give Navi's questions.
- The page address (without anything after a “?” for questions you ask) and its title.
- The names, types, and positions of the page's buttons, links, and fields.
- A short excerpt (about 900 characters) of visible text in the main area or open pop-up.
- A screenshot of the tab, taken with Navi itself hidden.
- Which steps you have completed in the current quest.
What Navi never sends
- What you type into a website's fields, including passwords. Navi only notes whether a field is filled in.
- Other tabs, your history, bookmarks, or cookies.
- Anything while Navi is paused or stopped.
Where it goes
Data goes over an encrypted connection to Navi's server, which uses AI services to plan and choose steps: Anthropic (Claude) for reasoning and Firecrawl to find the website's public help pages. Those searches include your goal and the website's name. Navi does not sell your data or use it for advertising.
Usage records and accounts
To count free and paid credits, Navi gives each installed copy a random ID and keeps a record of each task: when it ran, how many steps it took, whether it finished, and what it cost to run. These records do not include your goal, the page's content, or which websites you used. If you sign in with Google, Navi receives your name and email address from Google and links your copy of Navi to that account. The records are stored with Supabase, Navi's database provider.
What stays on your computer
Navi stores a few things in your browser: where you placed the coin, your agreement, and an unfinished quest (for up to 7 days) so you can resume it. Removing the extension deletes them.
Your choices
- Don't click the coin on pages you'd rather keep private.
- Use Pause or Stop at any time; Navi stops reading immediately.
- Uninstall from your browser's extensions page whenever you like.
