Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 11, 2026

1. Overview

Clipper for AppFlowy ("the extension") is an open-source browser extension that lets you save web page content directly to your AppFlowy workspace. This policy explains what information the extension handles and how.

2. Data we do NOT collect

The extension developer collects no data whatsoever. Specifically:

• No analytics or telemetry of any kind.
• No browsing history or page content is sent to the developer.
• No crash reports, usage statistics, or identifiers are transmitted to any server controlled by the developer.
• No third-party advertising or tracking SDKs are included.

3. Data stored locally on your device

The extension stores the following information in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local). This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly use it to connect to AppFlowy.

• AppFlowy server URL — the address of the AppFlowy instance you want to clip into.
• AppFlowy API token — your personal access token used to authenticate with AppFlowy.
• Extension settings and preferences — templates, highlight colours, and other user preferences.
• Highlight data — text selections you have highlighted on web pages, stored locally until saved to AppFlowy.

This data is stored solely on your device and is accessible only by the extension. It is never shared with the developer or any third party.

4. Data sent to AppFlowy

When you clip a page, the extension sends the following data directly from your browser to your configured AppFlowy server:

• The content of the current web page (text, metadata, and optionally selected highlights).
• Your AppFlowy API token (used to authenticate the request).

This data is transmitted solely to the AppFlowy server you have configured. The developer has no access to this data. Please refer to the AppFlowy Privacy Policy for details on how AppFlowy handles your data.

5. Email address (AppFlowy Cloud sign-in only)

The settings page optionally allows you to sign in to AppFlowy Cloud by entering your email address. This email is sent directly to AppFlowy Cloud's authentication servers to request a one-time verification code. It is not stored persistently by the extension after login and is never sent to the developer.

6. Permissions

The extension requests the following browser permissions, used exclusively for its core features:

• activeTab / tabs — to read the content of the current page for clipping.
• storage — to save your settings and highlights locally.
• scripting / content scripts — to inject the highlighter and reader tools into pages.
• declarativeNetRequest — to enable YouTube video embeds in the reader view (Chrome only).
• sidePanel — to display the extension side panel in the browser.
• contextMenus — to add a right-click "Clip" menu entry.

No permission is used to collect or transmit data to the developer.

7. Open source

The extension is fully open source. You can inspect every line of code that runs in your browser at github.com/alexrosepizant/clipper-for-appflowy.

8. Changes to this policy

If this privacy policy is updated, the new version will be published at this URL and the "Last updated" date above will be changed. Significant changes will also be noted in the release notes.
