Heyho :) Oliver here from the WorldBrain.io team. Thanks for sharing your concern. Hope I can adequately address some of them. Yeah indeed we are collecting some data on how you use the features, so we know how we improve the workflows of the tool. No terms you search, urls you visit or blacklist, annotations you make or anything user generated about you is collected though. You can also opt out of that and we don't even know you're existing. > There is no display of how many data are collected. A list of everything collected you find here: https://worldbrain.io/privacy-policy/ https://worldbrain.io/privacy-policy/ Re selfhosting: Yeah we also would like to be there already, but we are a small team and have to priortise things that make the tool useful first. Overtime we get there. Inside the team we have a strong commitment to deliver this. > Given the commercial plans of this project this will likely considered as copyright infringement. Good point, removing that rather! > Entrys in context-menu are also missing. Yep, we want that too :D Hopefully someone can help building this as unfortunately there are a couple of other priorities at the moment. E.g. making annotations fully searchable > How do I clean it up? You can already blacklist & retrospectively delete stuff via the settings, but soon also a bulk select will be available. Sorry if the tool is not yet fully like you want it :) We are working on it.

To add to this: We really take your privacy seriously. This is why we went out of our way to prevent using Google Analytics, the easy and common way, to do the measurement of user-flows. There was nothing available that did it well for browser extensions. Instead we built our own analytics tool that would ensure noone else has access to that data just because we are using someone else's software. Props for that go to our GSoC student Mukesh :) https://github.com/mukeshkharita https://github.com/mukeshkharita

  I'd suggest that releasing the analytics tool as open source is likely to be very interesting to a large number of users here.

    Yeah, we have that on the map too. Still need to make it run smoothly and factor it out into a separate library when we can. Limited (wo)man power at the moment to do this. Kind of hacked together at the moment too :)
