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.
