Privacy Policy — Noble Guides
Noble Guides is an internal browser extension used by Noble Medical Group. It captures a workflow in the browser and turns it into a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
This document states exactly what data the extension touches, what leaves the browser and what does not.
What stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere
All of the following lives only in the user's own browser, in local storage on their machine:
- The guides created: titles, steps and descriptions.
- The screenshots. Images are never uploaded to any server, neither to Noble Medical Group nor to third parties.
- Settings: AI provider, model, language and blur preferences.
- The API key the user configures.
Noble Guides has no user accounts, requires no sign-up, and sends nothing to a Noble server for storage. If the user uninstalls the extension or clears browser data, the guides go with it.
What leaves the browser, and only if you enable AI descriptions
The AI description feature is optional. If no API key is configured, no data leaves the browser.
When enabled, for each captured step a text summary of the element you interacted with is sent to the AI provider you selected. That summary includes:
- The page title and path.
- The heading and the container where the action happened.
- The tag, role and name of the element clicked or filled in.
- The field value, truncated to the first 50 characters.
Screenshots are not sent to the AI provider. Only text is transmitted.
Important notice about field values
If you type into a text, email, phone or number field, that content may be part of the text sent to the AI provider.
- Passwords are protected: password fields are replaced with
***before anything is sent. - "Smart Blur" does not protect this transmission. Blur is a visual effect applied to the page so that sensitive data appears blurred in the image. It does not change the field's underlying value, so the text itself can still travel in the summary.
Usage rule at Noble Medical Group: do not capture guides on screens containing patient data or personally identifiable information while AI descriptions are enabled. To document those screens, turn AI off in Settings before recording, or select the local model.
Who receives that data
The AI provider the user selects in Settings. By default, Noble Guides points to Noble's own gateway, which in turn routes the request to the chosen model. Among the available options there is a local model hosted on Noble's own server, with which the data never leaves the company's infrastructure. If the user configures a different provider, the data goes to that provider under its own terms.
Permissions the extension requests, and why
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Access to all sites | The extension must be able to record a workflow on any internal or external site the team uses. Which ones cannot be known in advance. |
activeTab, tabs, webNavigation | To know which tab is being recorded and detect page changes, so steps can be separated. |
scripting | To inject the click detector and the blur overlay into the page being recorded. |
storage, unlimitedStorage | To store guides and screenshots on the machine. Screenshots are large, hence the expanded storage. |
sidePanel | To show the side panel used for recording and browsing guides. |
The extension does not collect browsing data for analytics, does not track users across sites, and does not sell or share data with anyone.
