Your privacy is critically important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this privacy policy notice. Below we explain how we collect, use, and share information about you, along with the choices that you have with respect to that information.
This Privacy Policy governs your use of the JabRef Browser Extension.
When you use your browser to access a website, the extension aims to save you time by allowing to quickly import bibliographic information into JabRef. In order to provide this service, the extension collects and analyzes certain information concerning your browser activity. We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so. In particular, the following information is used:
- the url of the current website you are visiting,
- the content of the current website.
No personal data (like name, email address, billing address or credit card) is collected. By using the extension you will remain completely anonymous.
We do not store any data, locally or on our servers. The accessed information (like the content of the current website) is only used to extract the relevant bibliographic references, which are then send to JabRef.
Certain operations you perform in JabRef may trigger requests to public third-party services such as Zotero, Crossref or the Library of Congress for metadata retrieval. These third parties may log your IP address and search terms (e.g., DOI, ISBN or the current URL) according to their privacy policies, but no other identifying information is provided.
Although most changes are likely to be minor, we may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to check this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by placing a prominent notice on our website.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of 2020-03-20 and will remain in effect except with respect to any changes in its provisions in the future, which will be in effect immediately after being posted on this page.
For any questions or concerns regarding the privacy policy, please send us an email to [email protected].
That’s it! Thanks for reading.
