Notion Smart Clipper — Last updated: 11 April 2026
Notion Smart Clipper is a browser extension that extracts content from web pages you visit and sends it to your Notion workspace via the Notion API. It only runs when you click the extension icon.
The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to us. We have no analytics, no tracking, and no telemetry.
When you use the extension, the following happens locally in your browser:
Page content (title, author, description, images, text) is extracted from the active tab and held in memory only while the popup is open. This data is sent directly to the Notion API using your own OAuth access token. Nothing is sent to our servers except during two specific operations described below.
We operate a lightweight backend at notion-clipper-api.vercel.app for two purposes only:
OAuth token exchange: When you connect your Notion account, your browser sends a temporary authorisation code to our server, which exchanges it for an access token with Notion. The access token is returned to your browser and stored locally. We do not store your access token on our server.
License verification: When you activate a Pro license, your license key is sent to our server, which verifies it with Gumroad. We do not store your license key on our server.
The extension stores the following in Chrome's local storage on your device: your Notion OAuth access token, workspace name, connected database preferences, and license activation status. This data never leaves your browser except when making requests to the Notion API on your behalf.
The extension communicates with two third-party services:
Notion API (api.notion.com) — to read your databases and create pages. Governed by Notion's privacy policy.
Gumroad API (api.gumroad.com) — to verify Pro license keys. Only the license key is sent. Governed by Gumroad's privacy policy.
activeTab: Required to read the content of the page you're clipping. Only activates when you click the extension icon.
storage: Required to save your preferences and authentication state locally.
identity: Required for the OAuth flow to connect your Notion account.
We do not sell, share, or transfer your data to any third party. We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.
