  DATA USE DISCLOSURE
  
  This extension is built to help you save content to your ReadingNotes.ai account.
  
  What we collect/send when you use the extension:
  - When you click “Save” (or use the shortcut), we send the current page URL (and page title) to ReadingNotes.ai so it can be imported into your library.
  - On supported social sites (e.g., X/Twitter and LinkedIn), if you choose to save a post, we may also send the post text you’re saving so it can be stored correctly.
  
  What we do NOT do:
  - We do not read or store your browser cookies (this extension does not request the cookies permission).
  - We do not sell your data.
  - We do not transmit page content in the background without you initiating a save action.
  
  Local storage:
  - The extension stores your ReadingNotes.ai login token in Chrome storage so you don’t have to log in every time.
  - The extension may store small preference/settings values (e.g., save behavior) to improve your experience.
  
  ================================================
  CHROME PERMISSION USAGE DISCLOSURE
  
  This Chrome extension requires the following permissions:
  
  1) activeTab
  - Used to access the currently active tab ONLY when you initiate an action (e.g., clicking “Save” or using the keyboard shortcut).
  - Needed to read the current tab’s URL/title and (where applicable) extract content for saving.
  
  2) storage
  - Used to securely store your ReadingNotes.ai authentication token and extension settings in Chrome local storage so you stay logged in.
  
  3) notifications
  - Used to show notifications like “Saved”, “Saving…”, “Processing started”, or “Error” after you save content.
  
  ================================================
  HOST PERMISSIONS DISCLOSURE
  
  This extension connects to:
  - https://api.readingnotes.ai/*  (to save content to your ReadingNotes.ai account)
  - http://localhost:8000/*       (used for local development/testing)
  
  If you are publishing a production build, it’s recommended to remove the localhost host permission.
  
  ================================================
  CONTENT SCRIPT DISCLOSURE
  
  This extension injects lightweight scripts on pages you visit to enable saving flows and richer capture on supported sites (such as X/Twitter and LinkedIn).
  These scripts do not transmit page content unless you explicitly initiate a save action.
