ClawMark Privacy Policy#
Effective Date: March 3, 2026 Last Updated: March 3, 2026
ClawMark is a browser extension and web annotation tool developed by COCO (“we”, “us”, “our”). This Privacy Policy explains what data ClawMark collects, how it is used, and your choices.
1. Data We Collect#
Annotation Data#
When you create an annotation, ClawMark stores:
- The highlighted text and your comment
- The URL of the page being annotated
- A timestamp
Account Data (Optional)#
If you sign in, we store your display name and email address for authentication purposes only.
Page Context#
ClawMark reads the current page URL to match annotation rules and route feedback to the correct destination. It does not read or store full page content.
2. How Data Is Used#
- Annotations are stored on the ClawMark server you are connected to (either self-hosted or the official hosted service) and delivered to the destinations you configure (e.g., GitHub Issues, Lark, Telegram, Slack, email, or webhooks).
- Account data is used solely for authentication and attribution of annotations.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
3. Data Storage and Security#
- Annotation data is stored in a server-side database. If you use the official hosted service, data is stored on secured cloud infrastructure.
- If you self-host ClawMark, you have full control over data storage and retention.
- All network communication uses HTTPS encryption.
4. Third-Party Services#
ClawMark integrates with third-party services only when you explicitly configure them as annotation destinations:
- GitHub (for creating issues/comments)
- Lark / Feishu
- Telegram
- Slack
- Email providers
- Custom webhooks
No data is sent to any third party unless you set up a routing rule.
5. Permissions#
The Chrome extension requests the following permissions:
- activeTab: To read the current page URL and selected text for annotation
- storage: To save your preferences and server configuration locally
- host permissions: To communicate with the ClawMark server
6. Data Retention and Deletion#
- You can delete individual annotations at any time through the extension or server interface.
- Self-hosted users have full control over data retention.
- To request deletion of your data on the official hosted service, contact us at the address below.
7. Children’s Privacy#
ClawMark is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
8. Changes to This Policy#
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
