Browser Whiteboard (“the Extension”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Extension processes, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.
1. Overview
Browser Whiteboard is a Chrome extension that allows users to capture webpages, selected text, images, links, and screen regions onto a local infinite whiteboard for research, brainstorming, note-taking, and visual organization.
The Extension is designed with a privacy-first, local-only approach.
- No account is required.
- No registration is required.
- No cloud synchronization is required.
- No developer server is used for the Extension’s core functionality.

The Extension processes only the information necessary to provide its features when you explicitly use them.
Depending on the actions you perform, the Extension may process:
- Current webpage URL
- Webpage title

The Extension only processes this information after you initiate an action such as:
