mnemodo capture — privacy policy
Last updated: 5 November 2026 · applies to version 1.10.1 and later
In short: mnemodo capture sends what you choose to save, only to the mnemodo server addresses you add, and only when you click. It sends nothing to us, the add-on's authors, and nothing to any other company. There is no analytics, no tracking and no advertising.
mnemodo capture is a browser add-on for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox and Safari. It saves web pages, highlighted text, notes and files into a mnemodo server that you choose — one you run yourself, or one your organisation runs for you. This page says what the add-on reads, what it keeps on your computer, and where it sends data.
1. What the add-on reads
The add-on reads a web page only when you click its button, its right-click menu, or its keyboard shortcut. It reads only the tab you are using. It does not run in the background on the pages you visit, and it keeps no history of your browsing.
Depending on what you choose, it reads:
- the page's address (URL) and title;
- the text you highlighted;
- the article on the page ("Extract here"), or the whole page as your browser shows it ("Raw page"), including content shown in embedded frames;
- the parts of the page you picked with "Pick parts of the page";
- a full-page screenshot, only if you switch on "Add a full-page screenshot";
- on YouTube: the video's title, description and transcript, if you choose those.
2. What the add-on sends, and where
The add-on sends data only to the server addresses you add in its settings, and only when you click Save, Weave it, or a right-click menu item (or, if you switch on "save right away", when you use the right-click menu). It sends:
- the items listed in section 1 that you chose to save;
- the note you typed and the files you picked from your computer;
- the filing you set: space, folder, tags, block, date and cards;
- its sign-in token, so your server knows the request is yours.
The add-on refuses to send its sign-in over plain http:// to any address outside
your own computer or local network. Internet addresses must use https://.
Weave it sends the text you chose to your mnemodo server, which runs it through the AI model your server is set up with. That may be a cloud AI provider that your server's operator chose. Nothing is stored unless you click a Save button.
YouTube transcripts. To read a transcript in your browser, the add-on asks YouTube for the caption file from inside the YouTube page you have open, the same way YouTube's own player does. That request goes to YouTube, not to us. The transcript reaches your mnemodo server only if you save it.
3. What the add-on keeps on your computer
In the browser's own extension storage, on your computer only:
- the server addresses you added and their names;
- their sign-in: an access token, and for "Connect" also a refresh token;
- your last space per server, your theme, your language, and the "save right away" setting;
- saves that wait because a server could not be reached — until they are sent or you remove them;
- a preview of the page and a screenshot you took, per tab — deleted when you close the tab.
4. Your mnemodo server
What you save is stored on your mnemodo server, not by the add-on and not by us. The privacy of that data is governed by whoever runs that server — you, or your organisation. If you use a hosted mnemodo service, its own privacy policy applies to the data stored there.
5. Permissions, and why the add-on asks for them
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
activeTab, scripting | Read the tab you clicked on — the highlighted text, the article, the page, or a screenshot — only that tab, only then. |
contextMenus | The "mnemodo" right-click menu. |
storage | Keep the settings, sign-ins and waiting saves listed in section 3. |
alarms | Retry waiting saves once a minute. |
identity | "Connect": open your server's own sign-in page and receive the sign-in. |
| Access to a website (optional) | Talk to the server address you added. The add-on asks for each address separately when you add it, and gives the access back when you remove it. It never asks for all websites. |
6. What we do not do
- We do not collect, receive or store any of your data. It never passes through us.
- We do not sell or share data, and we do not use it for advertising, credit decisions or any purpose other than the add-on's single purpose: saving what you choose into your mnemodo.
- The add-on loads no code from the internet. All its code ships inside the add-on.
The use of information received by the add-on adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
7. Your control
- Delete what the add-on keeps: remove a server in the add-on's settings, or remove the add-on.
- Revoke its sign-in: on your mnemodo's Tokens page. Removing a server in the add-on also revokes its "Connect" sign-in.
- Delete what you saved: in your mnemodo, which you or your organisation run.
8. Third-party code
The add-on includes Mozilla Readability 0.6.0 (Apache License 2.0), unmodified, to find the article on a page. It runs in your browser and sends nothing on its own.
9. Changes to this policy
If the add-on starts to handle data in a new way, we update this page and its date before that version is published.
