Privacy Policy

Guetix Page Notes is developed by Hamza Guetioui (“Guetix”, “we”), guetix.com. This policy explains what the extension stores and why. It applies only to the Guetix Page Notes extension.

To work, the extension saves the following only on your device, using your browser’s local extension storage (chrome.storage.local):

• The text of each note you write, its color, and whether it is marked done or folded.
• Where the note sits: the page address (without #hash or utm_* tracking parameters) and its position on the page; for a note you stuck to an element (Shift), a CSS selector and offset of that element.
• For a highlight: the text you selected (up to 600 characters) plus up to 32 characters before and after it, so the highlight can be found again; and up to 160 characters of the text a note was pinned on.
• A snapshot of the spot: when you pin a note, a small JPEG image (about 20 KB) of the visible part of the page around it, shown on the note’s card in “All my notes”.
• The page title and favicon address, so “All my notes” can show which page a note belongs to.
• When each note was created and last edited, and your show / hide preference.

This data is created by you, is used only to show your notes back to you, and is never sent to us or to anyone else. It is not synced between devices by the extension.

None. The extension does not send any data over the network: it contains no analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, advertising or third-party scripts, and it does not track your browsing history. We have no server that receives data from the extension, so we cannot see, read or recover your notes or snapshots.

• storage + unlimitedStorage — Saves your notes and their snapshots on your device (chrome.storage.local). Nothing is sent anywhere.
• Read sites (host access) — Draws your notes back on a page when you return, and takes the snapshot of the visible tab when you pin a note.
• contextMenus — Adds “Pin a Page Note here” and “Highlight + note” to the right-click menu.
• activeTab + scripting — Starts notes on tabs that were already open before you installed it.

The extension reads a page only to draw your notes on it, re-find your highlights and the element a note is stuck to, and — at the moment you pin a note — take the small snapshot of the visible tab described in section 2. Nothing else from the page is stored, and nothing is ever transmitted. Snapshots are never taken in the background, only when you create a note.

We do not sell, rent, transfer or share any user data with third parties, and we do not use it for advertising, creditworthiness or any purpose unrelated to the extension’s single purpose: letting you pin and find notes on web pages.

The use of information by Guetix Page Notes adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data is used only to provide the extension’s features to you, is never transferred to anyone, and is never read by humans.

You stay in control of your data. From “All my notes” you can export your notes to a JSON file (saved where you choose, it is not uploaded), import a file, delete individual notes, delete all notes on a page, or delete everything (notes and snapshots). Uninstalling the extension removes all its stored data from your browser.

The extension does not collect any data, from anyone, including children under 13.

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new “Last updated” date. If the extension ever starts handling data differently, it will ask for your consent first.
