Privacy Policy for sumItUp Chrome Extension

1 min read

1. What Data We Access

  • Notes & Highlights:
    The extension lets you create, save, and sync notes and highlights from web pages you visit. These notes are stored:
  • Locally in your browser (using chrome.storage.local)
  • Optionally, in your personal Google Drive (if you connect your account)
  • Google Account Info:
    If you connect Google Drive, we access your Google email and Google Drive file/folder IDs to enable sync.
    We use Google OAuth for authentication. Your access token is stored in memory and in Chrome’s local storage for session management.
  • Page Metadata:
    When syncing, the extension may store page titles, URLs, and language for your notes.
  • Backend Service:
    If you use Google Drive sync, the extension may send your user ID, email, Google ID, and file associations (not note content) to a backend service for file registration and metadata.
    No note content is sent to our servers—only metadata for sync and deduplication.

2. How We Use Data

  • Local Storage:
    Notes and highlights are stored locally unless you choose to sync with Google Drive.
  • Google Drive Sync:
    If enabled, your notes are saved to a dedicated folder in your Google Drive.
    The extension only requests the minimal Drive permissions needed to create and update these files.
  • Backend Service:
    Used only for file association and deduplication. No note content is stored on our servers.
  • No Analytics or Ads:
    We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising.

3. Data Sharing

  • We do not sell or share your data.
    Your notes and highlights are private to you.
    If you use Google Drive sync, your data is stored in your own Google account.
  • Third-Party Services:
    If you connect Google Drive, your data is subject to Google’s privacy policy.

4. Data Security

  • OAuth:
    We use Google’s OAuth for authentication. Tokens are stored locally securely and revoked on sign-out.
  • No Sensitive Data:
    We do not collect passwords or sensitive personal information.

5. Children’s Privacy

  • Not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

6. Changes

  • We may update this policy. Changes will be posted here.
