Privacy & data use

Your transcript is used for your learning workspace—not for advertising.

Effective and last updated: 30 July 2026
User initiated

Capture starts only after you select the extension's Capture transcript button.

Temporary handoff

A pending capture stays in extension-local storage for no more than 24 hours.

No ads or sale

LumaNote does not sell transcript data or use it for personalized advertising.

What the extension accesses

LumaNote Transcript Capture runs only on standard YouTube watch pages and the public LumaNote Library. When you request a capture, it reads the video ID, page title, visible timed transcript rows, transcript language, and capture time. It does not download video or audio, read unrelated browsing history, or run on other websites.

How the capture is used

The extension temporarily stores one pending transcript on your device, opens the matching LumaNote workspace, and hands the capture to that page over the browser's local extension-to-page messaging. If you are signed in and complete the import, LumaNote sends the transcript over HTTPS to your account-scoped workspace so it can provide transcript search, AI video summaries, highlights, and notes.

Retention and control

The extension removes a pending capture after LumaNote confirms a successful import. An unfinished capture expires after 24 hours and is removed the next time the extension or LumaNote handoff runs. Imported transcripts remain in your LumaNote account until you replace or delete the source, or delete your account. The Account page lets you export or permanently delete your stored learning data.

Sharing and service providers

LumaNote does not sell user data, use it for credit decisions, or share it for targeted advertising. Cloudflare provides application hosting, account-scoped database storage, and AI summary processing. Google provides sign-in for the LumaNote web application. These services process data only to operate the user-facing product, maintain security, and provide the features you request.
