RecallAI by Purely Automated
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026 · Effective immediately upon installation
The short version:
RecallAI stores all your data locally on your device only. We do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any of your browsing data, page content, or personal information. Ever.
1. What data RecallAI stores
When you browse the web, RecallAI captures and stores the following data locally in your browser's IndexedDB storage:
- The URL and title of pages you visit
- The readable text content of those pages (stripped of ads, navigation, and scripts)
- Text you manually highlight or select on any page
- Metadata: time spent on page, scroll depth, and capture timestamp
- The domain name of each visited page
2. Where your data is stored
Entirely on your device. RecallAI uses Chrome's built-in IndexedDB storage, which is local to your browser. This data never leaves your computer. There are no servers, no cloud databases, and no remote storage of any kind in the current version of RecallAI.
3. What data we do NOT collect
- We do not transmit any browsing data to Purely Automated or any third party
- We do not collect analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics
- We do not access passwords, payment information, or form inputs
- We do not read content from banking, email, or login pages (these are explicitly excluded)
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers
4. Pages that are excluded
RecallAI automatically skips the following and never captures content from them:
- Gmail and Google Inbox (mail.google.com)
- Google Accounts pages (accounts.google.com)
- Any page with "login", "signin", or "password" in the URL
- Chrome internal pages (chrome://)
- Extension pages (chrome-extension://)
You can add additional excluded domains at any time in the Settings page of RecallAI.
5. Permissions used and why
- storage — To save captured page data locally in IndexedDB on your device
- tabs — To read the current tab's title and URL for display in the popup
- activeTab — To inject the content capture script into the current page when you click "Save now"
- scripting — To programmatically inject the content extraction script into pages
- host_permissions (<all_urls>) — To allow the content script to run on any website you visit so it can capture page text locally
6. How to delete your data
You have full control over your data at all times:
- Delete a single page: Click "Forget" on any result card in the popup
- Delete all data: Open Settings → "Clear all memory" → confirm
- Uninstall: Removing the extension from Chrome automatically deletes all locally stored data
7. Children's privacy
RecallAI is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
8. Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this privacy policy — for example, if a future version introduces optional cloud sync — we will update this page and notify users via the Chrome Web Store listing. The updated policy will apply only to the version in which it was introduced.
9. Open source
RecallAI is planned to be open-sourced. You can verify exactly what the extension does by inspecting the source code directly at purelyautomated.com/open-source.
