Single Purpose

Research Memory Guide helps users save and organize research from webpages into local JSON records. These records may include page titles, URLs, source domains, evidence labels, notes, prompts, summaries, countdown settings, extension settings, and progress checkpoints.

Information the Extension May Handle

Research Memory Guide may handle the following types of information when the user uses the extension:

  • Page title, URL, and source domain
  • Visible webpage text, headings, links, and short excerpts
  • User-created notes, summaries, evidence labels, prompts, and JSON records
  • Extension settings, mode preferences, autosave settings, countdown settings, and helper visibility settings
  • Optional user memory, such as a display name, contact note, or research goal, if the user chooses to enter it

The extension does not require users to provide a name, phone number, address, account, password, payment information, health information, or financial information.

Local-First Storage

Research Memory Guide is designed to be local-first. Research records and extension settings are stored locally in the user’s browser using Chrome extension storage.

The extension does not send research records, browsing records, notes, prompts, or user memory to the developer by default.

User Control

Users control what they save, copy, export, import, or share. If a user copies a prompt, exports JSON, posts a summary, imports data, or pastes information into a language model or another service, that sharing is controlled by the user.

Users should review copied or exported text before sharing it outside the extension.

Website Content

The extension may read visible webpage content only to help the user create local research records, evidence labels, summaries, and shareable prompts. This may include page text, headings, links, title, URL, and domain.

The extension does not use webpage content to sell user data, determine creditworthiness, or create advertising profiles.

Web History

Research Memory Guide may store page titles, URLs, domains, and capture times when the user saves a page or when the extension creates a local research record. This information is used only for the extension’s research organization purpose.

The extension does not sell web history or send browsing data to the developer.

Personally Identifiable Information

The extension may store personally identifiable information only if the user chooses to type it into the extension, such as a display name, contact note, or other optional user memory.

Users should not enter sensitive personal information unless they want it stored locally in their browser.

Autosave and Notifications

The extension may use local autosave, countdown reminders, helper updates, and notifications to support the user’s research workflow. These features run locally in the browser and are used only for the extension’s research organization purpose.

Remote Code

Research Memory Guide does not use remote code. All extension logic, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS are included in the extension package submitted to the Chrome Web Store. External links, such as this privacy policy or user-saved research URLs, are informational and are not executed as extension code.

Data Sharing

Research Memory Guide does not sell user data.

Research Memory Guide does not transfer user data to third parties except when the user chooses to copy, export, import, paste, post, or otherwise share information outside the extension.

Research Memory Guide does not use or transfer user data for purposes unrelated to the extension’s single purpose.

Research Memory Guide does not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

Data Deletion

Users can delete research records or settings by editing the extension’s JSON records, clearing extension storage, removing saved data through the extension interface, or uninstalling the extension from Chrome.

Uninstalling the extension may remove locally stored extension data depending on the browser’s storage behavior.

Children’s Privacy

Research Memory Guide is not designed to knowingly collect information from children. The extension is intended as a general research organization tool.

Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated in the future. Updates will be posted on the privacy policy page.

Summary

Research Memory Guide is a local-first research helper. It helps users save webpage research into local JSON records. The user controls what is saved, copied, exported, imported, or shared.
