Privacy Policy

Recall ("the Extension") is a browser extension that captures the pages you visit and lets you search across them locally. This policy explains what data the Extension collects, how it is stored, and what it is never used for.

What data is collected

When you visit a web page, the Extension captures and stores the following information locally on your device:

• Page title
• Page URL
• Domain name
• A short text excerpt from the page (up to ~800 characters)
• The date and time of the visit

Where data is stored

All captured data is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local). It never leaves your device. There is no server, no cloud, and no database outside of your own machine.

What data is never collected

• Passwords, form inputs, or payment information
• Screenshots or screen recordings
• Personal account information
• Data from excluded domains (e.g. banking, email — configurable by you)
• Browsing data from private / incognito windows
• Any data from chrome://, file://, or extension pages

Data sharing

The Extension does not share, sell, transmit, or disclose your data to any third party — ever. No analytics. No crash reporting. No telemetry of any kind.

Data retention and deletion

You are in full control of your data. You can delete individual entries, wipe all data, or uninstall the Extension at any time. Uninstalling the Extension permanently removes all stored data from your browser.

Permissions

The Extension requests the following browser permissions:

• storage — to save captured pages locally in your browser
• unlimitedStorage — to allow storage beyond the default 5 MB cap
• tabs — to read the active tab's URL when capturing a page
• content scripts on all URLs — to extract readable text from pages you visit

None of these permissions are used to transmit data outside your device.

Children's privacy

This Extension is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy is updated, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
