Privacy Policy for Personal Annotation Extension

This Privacy Policy describes how your information is collected, used, and shared when you use our Personal Annotation browser extension.

Information We Collect

Personal Annotation is designed with privacy in mind. We collect and process the minimum amount of data necessary for the extension to function:

• Annotation Data: Text highlights and shapes you create on webpages
• Website URLs: The addresses of pages where you create annotations

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely to provide the core functionality of the extension:

• To display your annotations when you revisit webpages
• To organize annotations by webpage in the annotation manager
• To enable editing and management of your annotations

Where Your Data Is Stored

All data is stored locally on your device using your browser's built-in storage mechanisms. No data is transmitted to external servers, and we do not have access to your annotations.

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your information with any third parties. Your annotations remain completely private on your device.

Your Rights

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you maintain complete control over your information. You can:

• View all stored annotations through the extension's interface
• Edit or delete individual annotations at any time
• Clear all annotations from specific pages
• Completely remove all data by uninstalling the extension

Data Retention

Your annotation data is retained in your browser's local storage until you manually delete it or uninstall the extension. We have no ability to access or delete this data remotely.

Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device, security depends on your browser's built-in security mechanisms. The extension does not introduce additional security risks beyond those inherent in browser local storage.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date.
