1. Overview

ClipRoots helps you save, annotate, organize, and revisit useful information from the web.

We designed ClipRoots to make your data practices understandable. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use ClipRoots and how that information is used.

In simple terms ClipRoots only uses information that is necessary to provide the features you choose to use.

2. Information We Handle

Depending on the features you use, ClipRoots may process the following information:

InformationWhy it may be needed
Account informationTo authenticate users and provide account-related functionality.
Notes and annotationsTo save and display the content you create.
Selected webpage textTo create the clip or annotation you explicitly request.
Webpage URL and titleTo identify and link your saved content back to its source.
AI-generated contentTo provide AI features when you explicitly request them.

3. How We Use Information

Information handled by ClipRoots may be used to:

  • Provide note-taking and annotation features.
  • Save and display your clips and notes.
  • Connect saved notes with their source webpages.
  • Provide account functionality where applicable.
  • Generate AI features when you request them.
  • Maintain and improve the reliability of ClipRoots.

We do not use your information for purposes unrelated to providing or improving the service unless we explain that use and, where required, obtain your permission.

4. Webpage Access

ClipRoots may access information from a webpage when you actively use a feature that requires it, such as creating a clip or annotation.

This can include information such as selected text, the webpage title, and the webpage URL.

ClipRoots does not intentionally collect your general browsing history simply because you visit websites.

5. Data Sharing

ClipRoots does not sell your personal information.

Information may be processed by service providers that are necessary to operate specific ClipRoots features, such as authentication, storage, hosting, or AI functionality.

When third-party services are used, information is shared only as necessary for the relevant feature and subject to the applicable service's terms and privacy practices.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information handled by ClipRoots against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Choices

Depending on the ClipRoots features you use, you may be able to:

  • Delete notes or annotations you created.
  • Remove saved clips.
  • Stop using optional AI features.
  • Remove or disable the ClipRoots extension.
  • Contact us with questions about your information.

8. Cookies, Local Storage & Your Privacy Rights

ClipRoots does not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. The following is stored locally in your browser or through our authentication provider:

  • Theme preference — saved in your browser's local storage so the site remembers your light/dark/auto choice.
  • Sign-in session — when you sign in to comment, our authentication provider (Supabase) stores a session token in your browser so you stay signed in between visits.

You can clear either of these at any time by clearing your browser's site data for ClipRoots.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your information — for example, the right to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold about you under laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or PIPEDA (Canada), and, for California residents under the CCPA/CPRA, the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of its sale (ClipRoots does not sell personal information). To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section below.

9. DMCA Policy

Our copyright takedown and counter-notice process now has its own page: see the DMCA Policy for how to report an infringing clip, our Designated Agent's contact details, and the repeat-infringer policy.
