Your Scholar data stays on your device.

Effective: July 30, 2026

What the extension processes

On a public Google Scholar profile page, the extension reads the visible profile name, author lists, publication metadata, years, and citation values needed to identify authorship roles, highlight papers, filter results, and calculate the metrics you request.

How data is used and stored

Profile and publication information is processed locally in your browser and is not sent to the developer or third parties. Display preferences, such as selected filters and name highlighting, are stored with chrome.storage.sync so the interface can remember your choices. Chrome may synchronize those preferences through your signed-in Chrome profile, depending on your browser settings. They do not contain profile or publication data and are not available to the developer. The current year range is kept only for the page session.

Screenshots

A screenshot is captured only after you select the Share Screenshot control. The image and optional attribution footer are prepared locally, then copied or downloaded only when you choose that action. The extension does not upload screenshots.

What is not collected

The extension has no account system, advertising, or analytics and does not sell or share personal data. It does not record profile visits, sharing activity, or review behavior. External pages open only after you select a corresponding link or button.

Control and deletion

You can remove stored preferences by clearing the extension's data or uninstalling the extension. Chrome's own sync controls govern any synchronized copy. Screenshots you download are files under your control and can be deleted like any other local file.

Chrome Web Store policy

Use of information obtained from Google Scholar pages is limited to providing the extension's user-facing authorship analysis, filtering, metrics, and explicit screenshot-sharing features, in accordance with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy and its Limited Use requirements.
