Security Measures

Your security and privacy are our top priorities. Learn how we protect your data and browser activity.

Browserpa is built with security as a foundational principle. As a browser extension that handles automation tasks and sensitive data, we implement multiple layers of security to protect your information and ensure safe operation.

End-to-End Encryption

All sensitive data transmitted by Browserpa is encrypted using industry-standard TLS 1.3 encryption. This includes:

  • Authentication credentials and tokens
  • Form data and profile information stored in Form Pilot
  • Task schedules and automation workflows
  • Notes and captured content
  • API communications and extension updates

Encryption keys are managed using secure key derivation functions, and we never store plaintext passwords or sensitive authentication information.

Local Data Protection

Browserpa stores sensitive data locally in your browser using secure storage mechanisms:

  • Form profiles and autofill data are encrypted before local storage
  • Browser's secure storage APIs (chrome.storage or browser.storage) with encryption at rest
  • No sensitive data is stored in plain text or cookies
  • Local encryption keys are derived from your account credentials

Automation workflows and task data are stored with integrity checks to prevent tampering, and sensitive credentials are isolated from other extension data.

Minimal Permission Model

Browserpa requests only the minimum browser permissions necessary for its functionality:

  • Active Tab Access: Only when you actively use automation features on the current tab
  • Storage: To securely save your preferences, workflows, and encrypted form data
  • Web Navigation: For voice navigation and URL-based task scheduling only
  • Notifications: For task reminders and security alerts (optional)

We do not request broad permissions to read all browsing history or access all websites. Permissions are contextual and limited to pages where Browserpa is actively being used.

Safe Automation Practices

Browserpa implements multiple safeguards to ensure automation tasks operate securely:

  • Automation scripts are sandboxed and execute with limited permissions
  • Rate limiting prevents excessive requests that could trigger website protections
  • User confirmation prompts for sensitive actions (form submissions, navigation)
  • Validation of automation workflows before execution to detect unsafe patterns
  • Timeout mechanisms prevent automation from running indefinitely
  • No access to browser's internal APIs or system-level functions

All automation tasks are logged locally (not transmitted) for debugging purposes, and users can review and modify workflows before execution.

Server-Side Security

When Browserpa communicates with our servers, we employ enterprise-grade security measures:

  • HTTPS-only communication with certificate pinning where applicable
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Secure authentication using JWT tokens with short expiration times
  • Rate limiting and DDoS protection
  • Encrypted database storage for any user account data
  • Regular security patches and dependency updates
  • Incident response procedures for security vulnerabilities

Our infrastructure follows industry best practices including least-privilege access, network segmentation, and automated security monitoring.

Security Standards & Compliance

Browserpa adheres to recognized security standards and practices:

  • OWASP security guidelines for web application security
  • Browser extension security best practices (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons)
  • Data encryption standards (AES-256 for data at rest, TLS 1.3 for data in transit)
  • Regular security assessments and code reviews
  • Secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices

We are committed to maintaining high security standards and will promptly address any discovered vulnerabilities following responsible disclosure practices.

Browser Store Security

Browserpa is distributed through official browser extension stores (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, Edge Add-ons), which provides additional security:

  • Code signing ensures extensions haven't been tampered with
  • Store review processes verify extension security and functionality
  • Automatic updates are cryptographically verified before installation
  • Extension isolation prevents interference from other extensions

Your Role in Security

Security is a shared responsibility. We recommend:

  • Keeping Browserpa and your browser up to date
  • Using strong, unique passwords for your Browserpa account
  • Enabling two-factor authentication when available
  • Reviewing automation workflows before execution
  • Not sharing your Browserpa credentials or access
  • Reporting security concerns to hi@browserpa.com

Security Updates & Vulnerability Reporting

We regularly release security updates to address vulnerabilities and improve protection. Updates are automatically delivered through browser extension stores.

If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly to:

Security Team

Email: security@browserpa.com

Please include steps to reproduce and relevant details. We appreciate responsible disclosure and will acknowledge and address reported issues promptly.

Security is an ongoing commitment. We continuously improve our security measures to protect your data and browsing experience.
