The functionality looks very very cool. But the privacy policy raises an eyebrow - am I overreacting?

We work with fortune 500 companies and have HIPAA compliant offerings, so we are very sensitive to privacy and security concerns. Fundamentally the models need to operate on whatever browser tasks users ask Autotab to perform, and we need to use frontier vision models like 4o and Claude to reliably perform them (model providers are the affiliates in question). If you have specific concerns happy to answer them.

Your response doesn't seem to address the Privacy concerns raised. Why is the policy so broad and invasive? There's no mention of how you handle PII data collected as telemetry.
