I recently subscribed to the NetworkChuck YT channel and saw this.
Basically with the click of a button you can launch a browser on a remote VPS, which streams a video to your computer of what's happening in that remote browser.
When you're done, the instance gets destroyed, and no harm done to your computer or privacy.
How do you know? For all you know, they record everything you do on that machine, grabbing your passwords, browser history, etc.
Their privacy policy doesn’t give me confidence they’re not doing some of that. Some parts of it are:
“The personal information we collect may include the following:
- names
- phone numbers
- email addresses
- job titles
- usernames
- passwords
- contact preferences
- mailing addresses”
and
“We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct. The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are as follows:
- Ad Networks
- Performance Monitoring Tools
- Sales & Marketing Tools
- User Account Registration & Authentication Services
