What Annotate stores about you

Updated Nov 10, 2026

Annotate stores:

• Your account: the name and email from Google sign-in.
• The pages and text you act on: your highlights, notes, bookmarks and summaries, plus the posts and replies you share.
• Which paywalled sites you can read, if you've acted on one or turned on auto-detect (site name only).
• The articles you've read, until you clear them, only if you turn on Keep my reading history.

If you keep your reading history, we also save your time zone so Overview shows your days, and emails about it arrive at a sensible hour.

Without Keep my reading history, it keeps no browsing history. It never touches your publisher accounts, passwords, or subscriptions.
