 > ## ⚠️ Early Alpha

 > **This plugin is in early alpha and under active development.** Expect bugs, UI changes between releases, and occasional rough edges. It talks to an **undocumented, reverse-engineered Plaud web API** that Plaud can change at any time.

+- It only **adds** notes and attachments inside the output folder you choose, and never edits or deletes anything outside that folder. (To spot already-imported recordings it does read the frontmatter of notes inside your output folder — see [Privacy and network use](#privacy-and-network-use).)
 - It replaces an already-imported note only when **you** choose Overwrite (or confirm it under "Ask each time").
 - It does not rewrite Plaud's transcript or summary text — it renders Plaud's own data into a note.

 - **In-app sign-in** — when you click **Sign in**, the plugin opens Plaud's own website (`app.plaud.ai` / `web.plaud.ai`) in an embedded browser window so you can log in. Your password is entered into Plaud's page and is never read by the plugin; the plugin reads only the session token your logged-in session sends to Plaud's API, and stores it via `SecretStorage`. The sign-in session is kept in a private partition isolated from Obsidian's other web sessions.
 - **No telemetry** — no usage data, crash reports, or analytics are collected or transmitted.
 - **Secret handling** — the Plaud token is stored via Obsidian's `SecretStorage` API (per-vault, not synced), referenced by a secret ID in `data.json` rather than the token itself.
+- **Reading your vault** — to show the "Imported" badge and avoid duplicate imports, the plugin lists your vault's markdown files and reads the frontmatter of notes **inside your output folder** to find ones it previously created (tagged with a `plaud-id`). It does not read the contents of notes elsewhere in your vault.
+- **Clipboard** — the plugin only **writes** to the clipboard, and only when you click a Copy button (copying a debug log or an error/failure list for a bug report). It never reads your clipboard.
 - **Vault writes** — all file writes go through the Obsidian `Vault` API (`Vault.create`, `Vault.process`). No direct filesystem access.
 
 See [PRIVACY.md](./PRIVACY.md) for the full privacy policy and liability disclaimer, and [SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md) for the security policy. The plugin is provided "AS IS" with no warranty (see [LICENSE](./LICENSE)); it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Plaud.AI, and you use it at your own risk.
