Notetaker Invite for HappyScribe (unofficial) — last updated 21 August 2026

This extension collects nothing. It has no server, no account system, no analytics, and no telemetry. Nothing is ever sent to the developer.

What it stores, and where

Your HappyScribe API key, the organization you choose, and your defaults for the notetaker (display name, transcription language, when recording starts, summary template) are stored with chrome.storage.local on the device you set them on. They are deliberately not stored with chrome.storage.sync, so they are never replicated to your Google account or to other browsers you sign into. Removing the extension deletes them; the options page also has a Clear credentials button.

These values are not encrypted. Anyone with access to your browser profile can read them. Use full-disk encryption, and rotate your key if the profile is ever exposed.

What it transmits, and to whom

One destination only: www.happyscribe.com, the service that issued your key. Two requests are made:

• When you verify your key, the extension asks HappyScribe which organizations that key can act for, so you can pick one by name.
• When you invite the notetaker, the extension sends the join URL of the meeting in your active tab, your chosen organization, and your defaults, so HappyScribe can dispatch its bot to that meeting.

Your key travels with those requests as an authorization header, because that is how HappyScribe authenticates you. It goes nowhere else.

What it reads from your browser

The address of the tab you invoke it on, at the moment you invoke it, to decide whether that tab is a Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams meeting and to extract the join link. It does not read page content, it does not read other tabs, and it does not keep a history: meeting URLs are used for the request and not persisted.

What happens to your meetings

Recording, transcription, and storage of the meeting itself are done by HappyScribe, not by this extension, and are governed by Happy Scribe's own privacy policy and terms. This extension only asks their bot to join. Recording a conversation carries obligations that vary by jurisdiction — tell the people in the room.

Children

This is a workplace tool. It is not directed at children.

Changes

Any change to this policy will be published on this page with a new date, and its history is public in the source repository.
