How Notebooker handles content

Notebooker is an educational and research tool. It helps you collect material you have the right to access, organize it into notebooks, and study or reason over it with AI. This guide explains what happens to that content — and, just as important, what never happens to it.

You decide what Notebooker saves

Everything in your library is there because you put it there — you saved a link, uploaded a file, or imported your own bookmarks. Notebooker works from the specific sources you give it, on your behalf, the way your own browser would when you open a page. It doesn’t roam the web collecting pages you didn’t ask for.

Because you choose the sources, you’re responsible for having the right to access and save them. Use Notebooker only for content you’re permitted to access, and in line with the rightful owner’s terms and applicable law — see our Terms of Service.

What happens when you add a source

When you add a URL or file, Notebooker does a few things, all tied to your account:

1. Extracts the text so you can search, chat with, and summarize it.
2. Renders a PDF snapshot so your notebook keeps a stable copy even if the original page later changes (see Importing & bulk actions).
3. Creates embeddings — numeric representations that power search and chat across your notebook.

Retrieve, extract, snapshot, index — so the material is useful to you inside your notebook, and nothing more.

Notebooker does not train AI models

This is the important part: Notebooker does not train, fine-tune, or otherwise build AI models on your content or on the content you ingest. Your material is used only to deliver the features you ask for — answering your questions, generating a summary or podcast, building a study aid — and nothing else.

• The default Notebooker AI runs on Cloudflare Workers AI, under terms that don’t use your inputs to train models.
• If you bring your own AI provider keys, the content you send is handled under that provider’s terms — check them if training or retention matters to you.

We don’t sell your content, and we don’t mine it to build models for ourselves or anyone else.

Your data stays yours

• Connect your own S3-compatible storage so archived files live in a bucket you control — see Bring your own storage.
• Download or delete everything Notebooker stores for you at any time.
• Deleting your account removes your content and your usage records.

Use it the way it’s meant to be used

Notebooker is built for learning and research — reading, organizing, studying, and understanding material you have legitimate access to. It isn’t a tool for redistributing other people’s work or for getting around the access conditions a content owner has set. Staying within that keeps you on the right side of both our Terms and the people whose work you’re learning from.
