Privacy policy

This policy covers the Jupiter Jots extension for Chrome, version 2.0.0 and later. Jupiter Jots is built and maintained by an independent developer, called “we” and “us” here.

Nothing. Jupiter Jots has no account and no server to send anything to. The extension contains no analytics, telemetry, advertising or crash-reporting code, and it does not track the sites you visit.

We never see your bookmarks, notes, tags, collections, settings or how you use the extension. We cannot sell or share what we never receive, and we do not.

Your library lives in your browser’s own database (IndexedDB), inside your Chrome profile on this computer. It holds:

• Bookmarks: each page’s address and title, its description and preview image address if the page provides them, any text you had selected, and the date you saved it.
• Notes, tags and collections, including the icon, emoji or colour you give a collection.
• Settings, such as your theme, default collection and the sites your keyboard shortcuts open.
• An activity log of when you open or save a bookmark, and from where (popup, side panel, full screen or a shortcut). It powers the Insights page. You can pause or clear it in Settings.

Jupiter Jots asks Chrome for unlimited local storage so a large library is not trimmed. That storage never leaves your device.

Jupiter Jots reads a page only when you ask it to save something.

• When you open the popup, it reads the address and title of the tab you are on, so it can save it and tell you if it is already saved.
• When you save a page, a one-off script runs in that tab to read the page’s own description and preview image from its meta tags, and any text you have selected. It reads nothing else.
• While the side panel or full-screen library is open, it sees the address and title of the tab in front, to offer Save this page. These are compared on your device and kept only if you save the page.
• Read descriptions from any tab is an optional setting, off by default. If you turn it on, Chrome asks you to allow access to all sites, so the side panel and full screen can read the description of the page in front when you save it. You can turn it off in Settings.
• Your Chrome bookmarks are read only when you choose Import from Chrome, after Chrome asks your permission. Jupiter Jots copies the folders you pick and never changes your Chrome bookmarks.

Jupiter Jots sends nothing to us. It makes only the requests any web page makes to show pictures, plus one request to Google if you choose a site logo for a collection.

Chrome lists the permissions an extension asks for. This is what each one is for.

Your library exists only on your device, so uninstalling Jupiter Jots or clearing its site data deletes everything. We have no copy to restore it from.

To keep a copy, use Export or Back up on the Import & export page. A JSON backup can be imported again on any computer. You can also delete single bookmarks, empty the trash or clear the activity log at any time.

Jupiter Jots does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. It is a general-purpose tool and is not directed at children.

If a future version changes what Jupiter Jots stores or sends, for example when optional sync arrives, we will update this page and its date before that version ships, and note it in the changelog. Anything that sends data off your device will be optional and off until you turn it on.
