Google Groups Notes Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 August 2026

Google Groups Notes is a Chrome extension developed by Yogesh Jagam.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Google Groups Notes accesses, why it is accessed, where extension data is stored, and how that data is handled.

Information Used by the Extension

Google Groups Notes operates on Google Groups pages to allow users to associate private notes and tags with Google Groups members.

To provide this functionality, the extension may process information already visible to the user on Google Groups member pages, such as a member’s name and email address.

This information is used to identify the member with whom a note or tag is associated.

Notes and Tags

Notes, tags and related extension data created by the user are stored using Chrome’s extension storage.

Google Groups Notes does not require users to create a separate account.

Google Groups Notes does not operate an external server or database for storing users’ notes and tags.

Data Transmission

Google Groups Notes does not transmit users’ saved notes or tags to the developer’s servers.

Google Groups Notes does not sell user data.

Google Groups Notes does not use Google Groups member information, notes or tags for advertising, marketing, profiling or unrelated purposes.

Permissions

Google Groups Notes requests permissions necessary to provide its functionality.

Chrome Storage

The Chrome storage permission is used to store notes, tags and related extension information.

Google Groups Access

Access to Google Groups pages is required so that the extension can identify relevant member information and display its note controls alongside Google Groups members.

This access is used only to provide the extension’s user-facing note and tag functionality.

Backup and Import

Google Groups Notes allows users to export their extension data as a backup and import a compatible backup.

Backup files are created only when requested by the user and remain under the user’s control.

Because exported backups may contain member names, email addresses, notes and tags, users should store and share these files appropriately.

Data Retention and Deletion

Saved extension data remains in Chrome’s extension storage until it is edited or deleted by the user or otherwise removed from the relevant Chrome profile.

Individual notes can be deleted using Google Groups Notes.

Users can also export their data before removing it if they wish to retain a backup.

Third-Party Services

Google Groups Notes operates within Google Groups, which is a service provided by Google.

Use of Google Groups and Google Chrome remains subject to Google’s applicable terms and privacy practices.

Google Groups Notes is an independent browser extension and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the extension’s functionality or data-handling practices change.

Any revised policy will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
