Privacy Policy.

What the extension processes

When you activate the extension and annotate a page, it processes your typed or dictated comments, including in-progress notes; the website URL and page path; selected webpage text; element labels and CSS selectors; nearby DOM context; selection coordinates and dimensions; viewport dimensions; and annotation status and timestamps. It also saves preferences such as Text or Voice mode, auto-start dictation, and microphone setup status.

The current build records page URLs without query strings or fragments. Captured text and context can still contain sensitive information. Review annotations and exports before sharing them.

Local storage, not an account

Annotations are stored per website in Chrome’s local extension storage on your device. Preferences and microphone setup status are stored locally too. Temporary session storage coordinates active tabs and voice sessions and is cleared when Chrome restarts.

The current extension has no DOT ROSI-hosted account, no automatic feedback syncing, and no automatic upload of annotations to a DOT ROSI server. Clearing browsing history or the ordinary browser cache does not clear Chrome extension storage.

Optional microphone and voice feedback

Typing does not require microphone permission. If you choose Voice, Chrome requests microphone access through an extension setup page. Dictation uses Chrome’s speech recognition API. Speech audio may be processed by an external, browser-provided speech service; speech processing is not guaranteed to happen offline. The browser or service provider’s privacy practices apply to that processing.

The reactive waveform uses local audio-level analysis. The extension does not intentionally store raw-audio recordings or upload raw audio to DOT ROSI. The waveform passes level values within the extension, not audio recordings. Recognized words become comment text and are saved with your annotations. You can stop dictation, switch to Text, and revoke microphone permission in Chrome or your operating system’s settings.

Copying, exporting, and sharing

You choose when to copy feedback or download Markdown or JSON. Markdown and Copy AI include open, unresolved comments; JSON includes all comments with text, including resolved comments. These outputs may contain captured webpage context as well as your notes.

The extension does not directly connect to your AI accounts. If you paste feedback into an AI coding tool, send an export, or otherwise share it, the recipient’s privacy and retention practices apply. Check the contents first, particularly when reviewing private websites. If you contact DOT ROSI for help, we receive the information you choose to send.

Retention and deletion

Locally saved annotations and preferences have no automatic expiry in the current implementation. Open an annotation and choose Delete to remove it. In Review feedback, More options → Clear this website’s feedback removes saved comments for that website after confirmation; it does not clear other websites or global preferences. Resolving a comment does not delete it.

Uninstalling the extension removes its local Chrome extension storage. This does not remove text already copied to your clipboard, downloaded export files, backups you control, or copies shared with other services. Delete those separately through the relevant app, service, or device.

Analytics, advertising, and sales

The current extension includes no analytics or advertising SDK, tracking beacon, or code that sends feedback to DOT ROSI for analytics. We do not sell extension feedback or use it for advertising.

The DOT ROSI website is separate and uses Google Analytics 4 to measure website use. Its interactive demonstration keeps example notes in memory until refresh and does not send those notes to analytics. Visiting these webpages may generate normal website analytics, subject to Google’s privacy policy. This extension policy does not describe Google’s independent speech-service processing.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

Our use of information obtained through Google APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Extension data is used only to provide the annotation, voice-input, local-storage, and export features described here. We do not use it for personalized advertising, sell it to data brokers, or use it to determine creditworthiness.

Changes and contact

We will update this policy if the extension’s data practices change and revise the date above. Review the current policy before using new features.
