Privacy Policy

Summary

ContextSnap is a local-only Chrome extension. Everything you capture is processed and stored inside your own browser. ContextSnap has no server, no account system, and makes no network requests in V1.

Local processing

All capture, cropping, stitching, and storage happens inside your browser on your own device. Captured text and screenshots are never uploaded to ContextSnap servers, because there is no ContextSnap server. ContextSnap does not use cloud storage in V1.

No account, no tracking

• No sign-up, login, email address, or identifier is collected.
• No analytics, telemetry, tracking pixels, ad SDKs, or usage reporting in V1.
• Captured content is never used for advertising.
• Your data is never sold, shared, or transferred, since it never leaves your device.

What is stored, and where

• Session metadata (item order, type, captured text, page title and URL) is held in temporary extension session storage, which the browser clears when the browser closes.
• Captured image blobs are stored in the extension's own local IndexedDB database on your device during the active session, referenced by the session.
• Images are deleted when the item is deleted, when the session is cleared, and are pruned on browser start and extension install. Captures are not designed to survive a browser restart.

Page access

ContextSnap accesses a webpage only when necessary to perform a capture action you requested. It requests no host permissions; page scripts are injected on demand for the tab you are working in.

Clipboard

Content only reaches your clipboard when you explicitly click Copy, Copy Context, or Copy Image. ContextSnap does not read your clipboard.

Permissions

• activeTab — lets ContextSnap act on the tab you are viewing when you start a capture.
• storage — holds temporary session metadata for your capture tray.
• scripting — injects the selection pill and area-selection overlay on demand.
• clipboardWrite — writes text and images to your clipboard when you click a copy action.

Your control

Clear Session deletes all capture metadata and all stored images immediately. Removing the extension removes its storage.

Changes

If a future version adds a network feature, this policy and the store data-use disclosures will be updated before that version ships.
