Newsbee extension privacy.
Last updated 6 November 2026
What the extension handles
Only after you explicitly choose to save vocabulary, the extension handles the Dutch text you selected or clicked, a short surrounding sentence needed to identify the useful dictionary form, the page or video title and URL, and a limited Newsbee connection credential.
What it does not do
It does not upload whole webpages or full YouTube transcripts, read your browsing history, sell personal data, or use browsing data for advertising. On YouTube it only uses the caption text currently displayed in the player so individual words can be clicked.
Your Newsbee connection
The extension stores a limited, expiring Newsbee credential in Chrome's local extension storage. That credential can save vocabulary and update meanings in your account; it cannot read or delete your journal.
Website and AI processing
Vocabulary you choose to save is processed by Newsbee at newsbee.io and stored with your account. When local rules are not enough to determine a Dutch dictionary form, the selected text and short surrounding sentence may be sent through Newsbee's configured AI provider for vocabulary analysis. Nothing is sent for this analysis until you choose to save.
