Privacy

OpenBots runs on your own computers, with no account with us. This is what stays on them, and what leaves them.

On your computers

Your bots, their conversations, routines, whiteboards and files are kept on the computers where you run OpenBots, and copied between them directly over your Tailscale network.

What leaves them

• A bot sends what it works on to the model you chose for it: ChatGPT, through your own account, or a model you host. That includes your messages, the files it reads and what it reads in your browser: pages' text, addresses, titles and pictures. That provider's own privacy policy applies.
• In a voice chat, your voice and the bot's spoken replies go to the voice you chose in Settings: ChatGPT's voice, or transcription and speech servers you host. It can be another provider than the bot's model, and when the first fails, OpenBots tries the next in your order.
• Apps you connect under Plugins are reached through Composio, with the key you gave.
• If you sign in to Multidesktop so bots can use your other computers, their screens and shells are reached through Multidesktop's cloud.
• A routine you start from a webhook receives its calls through our relay at hooks.wrkrsh.com. The relay holds each call until your computers take it, and the webhook's settings and signing secrets, until you delete the routine or 30 days after nothing listens to it.
• OpenBots checks downloads.wrkrsh.com for updates. When it hits a critical error, it reports the error to us, naming what failed, never your messages or keys.
• Unless you turn it off under Privacy in Settings, OpenBots also tells us through PostHog which features you use, whether they worked, and what failed. PostHog receives your IP address and an identifier of your computer. It records no messages, files or keys.
• openbots.ca measures visits and clicks on its download and GitHub links with PostHog, which receives your IP address. It keeps nothing in your browser, and records no text you see or type, and no sessions.

The Chrome extension

The OpenBots extension lets your bots use tabs of their own in your Chrome. It talks only to OpenBots on the same computer, through Chrome's native messaging, and never to a server itself.

• It reads and acts on pages only in the tabs your bots open, which Chrome groups under each bot's name. Your own tabs stay out of its reach.
• What it reads there, the page's text, address, title, outline and pictures of it, goes to OpenBots on your computer for the bot that asked, and from there to that bot's model as above.
• It keeps which tabs belong to which bot, and whether you stopped bots, in Chrome's own storage on your computer.
• It collects nothing else. Nothing it reads is sold, or used for anything but the bot's work.

The use of information received from the extension adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
