Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

Overview

Oboeru and the Oboeru - Anki Bridge extension are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your data.

Data Collection

We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal data from the extension.

The Extension operates entirely locally on your device and does not:

  • Collect user information
  • Track browsing activity
  • Store usage analytics
  • Send data to external servers
  • Access personal files or data outside of AnkiConnect

How It Works

The Extension only:

  • Communicates with AnkiConnect (localhost:8765) on your computer
  • Accesses your Anki flashcard data locally
  • Operates only on authorized domains (oboeru.ai, app.oboeru.ai)

All communication happens locally between:

  1. Your browser
  2. The Extension
  3. Your local Anki Desktop application (via AnkiConnect)

No data leaves your computer.

Extension Permissions

The Extension requests the following permissions:

storage

Used to cache extension state (like connection status). No personal data is stored.

host_permissions for localhost:8765

Required to communicate with AnkiConnect running on your local machine.

host_permissions for oboeru.ai and app.oboeru.ai

Required to inject the extension API into Oboeru web pages so you can access your Anki decks.

Third-Party Services

The Extension does not use any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising services.

Web Application

The Oboeru web application (app.oboeru.ai) uses Firebase Authentication for sign-in. When you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and display name to create your account.

Your Anki data is accessed locally through the browser extension and is not stored on our servers.

Data Security

Since no Anki data is collected or transmitted to our servers, there are no data security risks beyond those inherent to running Anki Desktop with AnkiConnect on your local machine.

Children's Privacy

This service does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
