Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 5, 2026
Formbase ("we", "us") is an alpha-stage service that helps people build conversational forms powered by AI. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what choices you have.
What we collect
- Account info — name, email, and authentication details when you sign up. Provided by Clerk.
- Form content — titles, descriptions, fields, and AI hints you create.
- Responses — answers submitted by people filling out your forms.
- Logs — request metadata (IP, timestamps, user agent) for security and debugging.
What happens to your data with AI
Fields tagged as PII (email, URL, and any field a form author marks private) are captured client-side and never transit our AI infrastructure. The AI sees only a "captured" confirmation token, never the value itself.
All other content (form titles, descriptions, AI hints, and respondent text answers) does pass through our AI infrastructure to power the conversational flow. Specifically:
- Requests transit Vercel AI Gateway, which routes them to the model provider. Per Vercel's published policy, the Gateway does not retain prompts or responses — they are deleted immediately after each request completes. Only request metadata (model name, token counts, latency) is retained for billing and analytics.
- Inference runs on Anthropic (Claude Haiku 4.5). Per Anthropic's commercial terms, API data is not used to train Anthropic's models.
Sub-processors
We use the following third parties to operate Formbase:
- Vercel — hosting and AI Gateway routing
- Clerk — authentication
- Neon — PostgreSQL database (US-East)
- Resend — transactional email (response notifications)
- Anthropic — AI inference, accessed via Vercel's AI Gateway
Each handles data per their own privacy policies.
Your choices
- Export — download your form responses as CSV from the Responses tab.
- Delete — request account or form deletion by emailing abedhamami42@gmail.com.
Alpha disclaimer
Formbase is in active development. Data may be migrated, schemas may change, and we do not yet guarantee long-term retention or backups. Avoid putting mission-critical data into Formbase until we exit alpha.
