AnnotatorPrivacy policy
Annotator — last updated 2026-11-01.
Summary
Annotator runs entirely in your browser. It sends nothing to Jambu or anyone else. There is no account, analytics, advertising or telemetry.
What it handles
Only after you invoke it on a page, and only for your review:
| Data | Purpose | Where it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Your comments and drawings | The annotations themselves | This browser profile |
| Page URL and title | Group annotations by page | This browser profile |
| Text you select, and nearby text | Find the annotation again | This browser profile |
| Element details: tag, role, accessible name, allow-listed attributes | Identify what you pointed at | This browser profile |
| Screenshots you take | Attach visual evidence | This browser profile |
| Page text, when you choose a format with page context | Build that export | This browser profile |
Data leaves your browser only when you copy or download an export and put it somewhere yourself.
What it avoids
- Form fields and text being edited are left out of element descriptions and page context. If you select text inside a field to comment on it, only that selection is kept. Password fields are excluded.
- When you select text in a rich-text editor, up to 48 characters on each side are stored to find it again.
- Only allow-listed attributes are stored.
value, custom data attributes and event handlers are not. - Exports mask URL parameters with sensitive names, such as tokens and keys, and text shaped like common credentials. This is best effort: review exports and screenshots before sharing them. Screenshots show whatever is on screen.
Storage and removal
Annotations live in the extension’s own storage, which web pages cannot read. Delete sessions on the sessions page. Removing the extension deletes all its data.
Limited Use
The use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data is used only to provide the annotation feature, is not transferred to third parties, and is not used for advertising, for credit decisions, or read by humans.
