Web Highlighter runs in your browser. It saves the text you highlight on a page, a few words before and after it (to find the passage again), its color, your optional notes and tags, and the page address and title. This data is stored only in the browser's extension storage and is never sent to the developer or anyone else. Backups and exports (JSON, Markdown, CSV, HTML) are files created in your browser.

Without automatic restore, the extension works on a page only when you click its icon, use its keyboard shortcut or its context menu there. The optional "Restore automatically" setting asks for access to all websites: the highlighter then runs on every page you open, looks up highlights saved in your browser for that address and draws them. It does not read or store anything from pages where you have not highlighted text. You can switch it off in the popup.

The only personal data is the email address you enter to buy or restore Pro. It is sent to the developer's license API (lakeside-ext-api.expo.app), which checks it against completed Stripe checkouts, and is stored with the license state in browser storage. Payment is handled by Stripe. No analytics, no tracking.
