Knit Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 9, 2026
Knit is a Chrome extension that helps users clip selected text from supported AI chat websites into editable local notes
and organize those notes in a side-panel insight canvas. This Privacy Policy explains what data is processed, how it is used,
and where it is stored.
1. Data We Collect
We do not collect account identifiers such as your name, email address, phone number, password, payment data, or authentication credentials.
We do not run advertising trackers or analytics trackers in the extension.
Knit processes data only when you actively use the extension, for example by clicking the floating collect button or the context-menu item.
The processed data may include:
- Selected text that you choose to save from a supported AI website.
- Your note annotations and edits.
- Source page metadata such as page URL, page title, hostname, site name, and favicon URL.
- Insight canvas data such as note positions, connections, project titles, and local UI state.
2. How Data Is Used
- To save selected AI responses as editable notes.
- To show source information so you can return to the original page.
- To support search, annotation, sorting, and note organization in the side panel.
- To build and display the local insight canvas that connects related notes.
3. Data Storage and Retention
Knit stores notes, annotations, source metadata, and canvas data locally in your browser using Chrome's chrome.storage.local.
We do not operate a backend server that receives or stores your Knit notes.
Local extension data remains in your browser until you delete notes, clear extension data, or uninstall the extension.
4. Data Sharing and External Requests
- No developer backend: Knit does not upload your clipped notes, annotations, or canvas data to a developer-operated server.
- Source pages: if you choose to open a saved source link, Chrome opens that URL in a browser tab.
- Favicons: to display source icons, the extension may use a favicon URL from the page or a favicon lookup URL. This is used only for display and does not send clipped note text.
We do not sell personal data, do not use user data for advertising, and do not transfer user data for creditworthiness or lending purposes.
5. Chrome Permissions
- contextMenus: adds a user-triggered menu item for saving selected text as a Knit note.
- sidePanel: displays the main Knit interface for viewing, editing, searching, and organizing notes.
- storage: stores notes, annotations, source metadata, and canvas data locally in the browser.
- host permissions: run the content script only on supported AI websites so the extension can detect user-selected text and show the collect button.
6. Remote Code
Knit does not use remote code. All executable JavaScript and CSS are bundled inside the extension package.
External URLs are used only as page URLs, source links, or image/favicon resources, not as executable scripts or WebAssembly.
7. Your Choices
- No note is saved until you actively choose to collect selected text.
- You can edit or delete saved notes in the extension UI.
- You can clear extension data or uninstall the extension to remove locally stored Knit data.
8. Children's Privacy
This extension is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
9. Policy Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated last-updated date.
10. Contact
