Privacy Policy of NoemaExtension
Last updated: April 2026 - Version: 1.0
Privacy Policy Noema Browser Extension Version 1.0 — April 2026 This policy applies to the Noema Browser Extension only.
1. Overview
The Noema Browser Extension is an optional companion to the Noema desktop application. Its sole function is to extract the readable content of the current browser tab and send it to the Noema application running locally on your device. The extension does not operate independently. It requires the Noema desktop application to be installed and running.
2. Data Controller

3. What the Extension Does
When you explicitly activate the extension by clicking its icon in the browser toolbar, it performs the following actions: Reads the HTML content of the currently active browser tab Processes the content locally using the Readability.js library to extract the main readable text Sends the extracted text to the Noema application running on localhost on your device No other action is taken. The extension does not run in the background, does not monitor your browsing activity, and does not activate without your explicit interaction.
4. What Data We Do Not Collect
The extension does not collect, transmit, or store any data on external servers. Specifically: No page content is sent to our servers or any third-party server No browsing history is recorded or transmitted No personal information is extracted or stored No analytics or telemetry data is collected No cookies or persistent identifiers are used
5. Data Flow
The data flow is strictly local: Browser tab content → Readability.js (local) → localhost → Noema desktop app The destination is exclusively http://localhost — the Noema application running on the same machine as the browser. No data leaves your device.
6. Permissions
The extension requests the following browser permissions: activeTab — to read the content of the currently active tab, only when activated by the user scripting — to inject the Readability.js content script into the active tab host_permissions: http://localhost/* — to communicate with the Noema desktop application No other permissions are requested. The extension cannot access tabs you have not explicitly activated it on.
7. Third-Party Libraries
The extension uses Readability.js, an open-source library developed by Mozilla Foundation, to extract readable content from web pages. This library runs entirely within your browser and does not transmit any data externally. Readability.js is available at: github.com/mozilla/readability
8. GDPR
Since the extension does not process personal data on external servers, the GDPR obligations applicable to data controllers do not apply to the extension's core operation. If you use the Noema desktop application in conjunction with this extension, the privacy policy of the Noema desktop application applies to data processed within the application. That policy is available at: noema.tools/legal/privacy
9. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated if the extension's functionality changes. The current version is always available at noema.tools/legal/privacy-extension and on the Chrome Web Store listing.
