Privacy Policy

Mendeley Web Importer needs to read and store some browser information. We also log some of this information to help analyse problems and guide product development:
  • Cookies. These are stored in your browser and are used to sign you into your Mendeley account.
  • The URL of the page on which Mendeley Web Importer is used. This tells us which sites Mendeley Web Importer should work with.
  • IP address. This tells us when you belong to an institution that is entitled to extra benefits, e.g. Elsevier content provided to a university.
  • Web browser version and language settings. This tells us what we should support.
  • Other data about add-on use that guides product development. No account details are associated with this data.

Browser Permissions

The extension will not work without these permissions:
  • Access data for all websites. This lets us find and retrieval full text (PDF) links in the background for you.
  • Access browser tabs. This lets us show the Mendeley Web Importer user interface in the current web page and search it for article metadata.
  • Display notifications. We use these to alert you about errors such as failing to upload a PDF. They are not used for advertising.

The above is a summary of the Mendeley Web Importer privacy policy, which is governed by the Elsevier Privacy Policy.
