Privacy Policy

For the Snapr Chrome Extension

Last updated: 2026-05-15
TL;DR

Snapr does not collect, store, transmit, or share any user data. It runs entirely in your browser. There are no servers, no analytics, no tracking, and no third parties involved.

1. Overview

Snapr ("the extension") is a Chrome browser extension that captures screenshots of webpages. This privacy policy explains what data the extension processes — and, more importantly, what data it does not process.

2. Data We Collect

Snapr does not collect any user data. Specifically, we do not:

  • Collect personal information (name, email, phone, address, etc.)
  • Record browsing history or sites you visit
  • Use cookies or similar tracking technologies
  • Collect IP addresses or location data
  • Track clicks, mouse movements, or keystrokes
  • Include any advertising, analytics, or marketing SDKs
  • Require any account or signup

3. Data the Extension Temporarily Handles

When you capture a screenshot, the extension performs the following:

  1. Captures the visual content of the active tab using the browser's chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab API.
  2. Temporarily stores the resulting image blob in the browser's local IndexedDB storage so that the editor can load it.
  3. Immediately deletes the IndexedDB entry after the editor loads the image.
  4. If you click "Download", saves the file to your local Downloads folder via chrome.downloads.

None of this data ever leaves your device. Snapr makes no network requests, communicates with no cloud service, and shares no data with any third party.

4. Permissions

Snapr requires the following Chrome permissions to function. Each is justified below:

activeTab Grants temporary access to the current tab only when you invoke the extension.

scripting Injects the scroll-and-hide logic into the page during full-page capture.

downloads Saves the screenshot to your Downloads folder.

unlimitedStorage Temporarily handles large images of long pages in IndexedDB.

Snapr does not request host permissions. Instead of broad URL access, it uses activeTab for narrow, user-initiated access to only the active tab.

5. Third-Party Services

Snapr does not contact any third-party service, library, or CDN over the network. All code, including the jsPDF library used for PDF export, is bundled within the extension package. The extension runs entirely offline.

6. Children's Privacy

Because Snapr collects no data whatsoever, it is safe for users of all ages, including children under 13. No special consent requirements apply because no personal information is collected.

7. Data Retention

The captured screenshot blob is held in IndexedDB only until the editor loads it, then immediately deleted. No data is retained long-term. When the extension is uninstalled, all local data is automatically cleared by Chrome.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy as needed. Significant changes will be noted in the extension's update release notes and in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

10. Legal Compliance

Because Snapr does not collect any data, it does not qualify as a "data controller" under GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), KVKK (Turkey), or other major data protection regulations. Data subject rights (access, deletion, portability) are therefore not applicable — there is no data collected.
