Privacy policy

What MindPocket stores

MindPocket only stores what you choose to save. That is:

• Pages you save from the right-click menu: the page title and its address (URL).
• Selections: the text you highlighted, plus the title and address of the page it came from.
• Notes, tasks, reminders and events you type into the popup or the app, including any dates, times, tags and priorities you add.
• Memories: short facts you ask it to remember, such as “remember that Ana takes her coffee black”.
• Assistant messages: the questions you ask the assistant and its replies.
• Your theme: whether you prefer the dark Ink or light Paper look.

MindPocket does not read your browsing history, your other tabs, or any page you have not asked it to save.

Where it lives

Your library is a SQLite database that runs inside the extension and is kept in your Chrome profile’s private storage for extensions (the Origin Private File System). Your theme choice is kept in Chrome’s local extension storage. Both stay on the computer and profile where you installed MindPocket.

MindPocket does not use Chrome sync storage, so nothing is copied to your Google account or to your other devices by the extension.

What is never sent

Nothing. MindPocket makes no network requests of its own. In particular:

• No accounts, sign-ins or email addresses.
• No servers. There is nowhere for your data to go.
• No analytics, telemetry, crash reports, advertising or tracking of any kind.
• No third-party AI service. The assistant runs inside the extension and searches only your own saved items, on your machine. If your browser ships a built-in on-device AI model, MindPocket may use it to phrase answers; the model runs in your browser and receives nothing over the network — only the saved items your question matched. On browsers without a built-in model, the assistant answers by search alone. Separately and only if you opt in, you can connect your own AI provider key (see Optional: connecting your own AI provider).

We do not sell, share or transfer your data, because we never receive it. MindPocket’s use of information follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

The one exception is a link you choose to open. If you click a saved page’s link, Chrome visits that site as it would from any bookmark.

Permissions, and why

MindPocket asks for five Chrome permissions and no access to websites in general.

contextMenus

Adds “MindPocket ▸ Save page” and “Save selection” to the right-click menu.

activeTab

Lets MindPocket read the title, address and selected text of the tab you are on, only at the moment you choose to save it.

scripting

Shows the small “Saved” receipt in the corner of that tab after you save, with Undo and View buttons.

offscreen

Runs the local database in a hidden extension page so it keeps working after the popup closes.

storage

Remembers your theme choice.

Exporting your data

Open MindPocket, go to You, and choose Export. Chrome downloads a file called mindpocket-export.json with your items, memories and assistant messages in plain JSON. The file goes wherever your downloads go; what you do with it after that is up to you.

Deleting your data

There are two ways, and both are permanent:

• In MindPocket, go to You and choose Delete everything. This erases every item, memory and assistant message from the database.
• Uninstall MindPocket from chrome://extensions. Chrome deletes the extension’s storage, including the database, along with it.

You can also delete single items from the Library. Because we hold no copy, there is nothing for us to delete on our side and nothing we could recover for you afterward.

Optional: connecting your own AI provider

By default, MindPocket never talks to an AI service. If you choose to connect one, you paste your own API key (for Google Gemini, Groq or OpenRouter) on the You screen. The key is stored only in your browser’s local extension storage and is sent only to the provider you chose, so their service can phrase an answer.

When this is on, the saved items that match your question are sent to that provider, under your account and subject to your plan, their terms and their privacy policy. Disconnecting the key removes it from your browser and the assistant stops making any requests. If you never connect a key, nothing is ever sent.

Children

MindPocket collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If MindPocket ever changes how it handles data, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change ships. Anything that would send data off your machine would need your clear permission first.
