Boring Page Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy — BoringPage

Last updated: February 10, 2026

Overview

BoringPage is a browser extension that converts webpages into Markdown. All processing happens locally in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any user data.

Data Collection

We do not collect any data. Specifically:

  • No personal information is collected
  • No browsing history is recorded
  • No page content is sent to any server
  • No analytics or tracking scripts are used
  • No cookies are set
  • No accounts or sign-ups are required

How the Extension Works

When you click the BoringPage icon on a webpage:

  1. The extension reads the current page's DOM content locally in your browser
  2. It converts the HTML to Markdown entirely on your device
  3. The Markdown is displayed in an overlay on the page

All processing is performed client-side. No data ever leaves your browser.

Permissions

  • activeTab — Used to read the current page content when you click the extension icon. Only the active tab is accessed, and only when you explicitly click the icon.
  • scripting — Used to inject the overlay UI into the current tab. The overlay script is only injected on demand when you click the icon.

External Requests

The only external network request the extension makes is loading the Lexend font from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). This is a CSS stylesheet request to render the overlay's typeface. No user data is included in this request. Google's privacy policy for Google Fonts is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Third-Party Services

BoringPage does not use any third-party services, analytics, or APIs beyond the Google Fonts stylesheet mentioned above.

Data Storage

BoringPage does not store any data locally or remotely. Each time you activate the extension, it processes the page fresh. Closing the overlay discards all generated content.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the changes will be reflected in this document with an updated date. No prior notice is required as no user data is involved.
