AISearch Pulse Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3 November 2026
Applies to: the AISearch Pulse Chrome extension ("Pulse") and its licence and payment process. Web address: aisearch.global/pulse/privacy. This is a separate page for Pulse. The AISearch Global website privacy policy at aisearch.global/privacy stays as it is.
Acknowledgement of Country
AISearch Global acknowledges the Dharawal Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of our lands and waterways, and also recognises the Dharug and Gundungurra Nations. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples on these lands.
1. Who we are
Pulse is made by AISearch Global, a business run by Viveka Mohan Das in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
- ABN: 13 490 201 041
- Email: hello@aisearch.global
- Phone: +61 2 4019 2419
- Postal address: 33 Watkins Cres, Currans Hill NSW 2567, Australia
In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean AISearch Global. "You" means the person using Pulse.
2. The short version
- Your saved reports, scan history and AI run history stay in your own browser. We do not keep a copy.
- Pulse only reads the site in your current tab, and only when you click Scan.
- For some checks (security, DNS, headers, page speed, and malware and phishing), Pulse sends the scanned page's address (URL) to our server, which passes it to Google.
- For your included AI runs, your questions go through our server to Perplexity and Google Gemini. Our server does not store the question text.
- If you use your own Perplexity or Google API keys, your questions go straight from your browser to them and never reach our server.
- Stripe takes your payment, and Resend sends your licence key email. We never see your full card number.
- We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.
3. What we follow
We aim to handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
4. What information Pulse handles
What the extension can access
Pulse asks Chrome for only four permissions: activeTab, scripting, storage and alarms. It has no permission to read websites in the background. It reads the site in your current tab only when you click Scan. If you turn on the link check, Pulse fetches pages from that same site only. Pulse does not collect your browsing history.
Where each kind of information goes
| Information | Where it goes | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Saved reports, scan trend history (the last 8 scans for each web address, scores only) and AI run history | Stays in your browser's local storage. Not sent to us. | To show you results and trends over time |
| The address (URL) of the page you scan | Sent to our server (a Cloudflare Worker) and on to Google for the malware and phishing check (Google Web Risk) and the page speed check (Google PageSpeed) | To run security, DNS, header, page speed, and malware and phishing checks |
| Questions for an included AI run | Sent to our Cloudflare Worker, which forwards them to Perplexity and Google Gemini using our API keys. The Worker does not store or log the question text. | To get the AI answers you asked for |
| Your run count and run IDs for each month, linked to your licence | Stored by our Cloudflare Worker (in a Cloudflare Durable Object) | To count your included runs each month and stop misuse |
| Questions for a run on your own API keys | Sent straight from your browser to Perplexity or Google. Never sent to our server. | To get AI answers using your own account |
| Your licence key | Sent to our Cloudflare Worker | To confirm your licence is valid |
| Your name, email address and payment details | Collected and processed by Stripe | To take payment |
| Your email address and licence key | Sent by email through Resend, from hello@aisearch.global | To deliver your licence key |
| Emails you send us | Our email inbox | To answer you |
5. How we use it
We use information only to:
- run the scans, checks and AI runs you ask for
- issue, check and manage your licence, including counting your monthly runs
- take payment, give refunds and keep tax and business records
- send your licence key
- answer your questions and fix problems
- stop misuse of Pulse (for example, sharing a licence key)
We do not use it to build profiles of you, for advertising, or to decide anything about your credit or eligibility for anything.
6. Who we share it with
We share information only with the services Pulse needs to work:
- Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc.): hosts our website and runs our licence server (Worker, Durable Object and KV storage).
- Google (Google LLC): scanned page addresses, for the malware and phishing check and the page speed check. Also your included AI run questions, through Gemini.
- Perplexity (Perplexity AI, Inc.): your included AI run questions.
- Stripe (Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates): payments.
- Resend: sends your licence key email from hello@aisearch.global.
If you add your own Perplexity or Google API key, your questions go directly to that provider under your own account with them.
Perplexity and Google handle what they receive under their own terms and privacy policies. Do not put personal or confidential information in your questions.
We may also share information if the law requires it. We do not sell, rent or trade your information.
7. Information sent overseas
Our server runs on Cloudflare's global network. Each request is handled at the Cloudflare location nearest to you, which may be outside Australia, and Cloudflare's KV storage is global. Information may also be processed in the United States and other countries by Cloudflare, Perplexity, Google, Resend and Stripe. We take reasonable steps to choose services that protect information.
8. How long we keep it
- In your browser: saved reports and history stay until you delete them. Scan trend history keeps the last 8 scans for each web address. You can clear Pulse's data or remove the extension at any time.
- AI run questions (included runs): not stored by our server. Perplexity and Google may keep them under their own policies.
- Run count and run IDs: kept by our server until deleted.
- Payment and tax records: kept as long as Australian tax law requires (generally 5 years).
- Server logs: Our code does not log question text.
9. Security
Pulse sends information over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Payments are handled by Stripe. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise information will never be lost or misused. If a data breach is likely to cause you serious harm, we will tell you and, where required, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
10. Automated checks, not decisions about you
Pulse scores web pages using automated checks. It does not make decisions about individuals. Scores are about how a page is set up, not about a person.
11. Chrome Web Store: Limited Use statement
The use of information received by AISearch Pulse will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In practice this means:
- we use data only to provide Pulse's features you can see and use
- we transfer data only to provide those features, to protect against abuse, or to comply with the law
- we never use or transfer data for personalised advertising
- we never sell data
- people do not read your data unless you ask us to (for example, for support), it is needed for security, or the law requires it
12. Your choices and rights
You can:
- ask what personal information we hold about you
- ask us to correct it
- ask us to delete it, unless we must keep it by law
- use your own API keys so questions bypass our server
- remove Pulse to delete its local data
Email hello@aisearch.global. We aim to reply within 30 days. We may need to confirm who you are first.
13. Complaints
If you think we have mishandled your information, email hello@aisearch.global with details. We will look into it and reply in writing within 30 days.
If you are not happy with our reply, you can contact the OAIC at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.
14. Children
Pulse is for businesses and is not meant for children under 18.
15. Changes to this policy
We will update the "Last updated" date when this policy changes. If a change is significant, we will tell you by email or in Pulse before it takes effect.
