Privacy policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Introduction

PSnap is a Chrome extension. By installing or using PSnap, you agree to this privacy policy.

What data we collect

PSnap Free does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on our servers or on any third-party servers. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Stored only on your device:

Extension settings, up to 3 favorite setups that you save (without login details), capture history (site, date, count, and captured routes), per-site hidden-element selectors and comments, and the form-login username if you enter one. The password is never stored: it is only kept in memory during the capture. What you open in the image editor, the text editor (Markdown and HTML, with the downloaded stylesheets and fonts) or the video editor is kept temporarily in the extension local storage and is deleted automatically after 3 days (the next time you use an editor) or when you remove it. Videos are generated in your browser from your captures and are only downloaded to your device.

Syncing across devices

If Chrome Sync is turned on, your settings, favorite setups, hidden-element selectors, and per-site comments are synced between your devices through chrome.storage.sync. Chrome, under your Google account, stores and syncs that data: PSnap does not receive it or have access to it. Login details (username, password, login URL and selectors), history, and screenshots are never synced.

What we do NOT collect

Your name, email, or personal identifiers; browsing history outside what you capture; the content of your captures and exports; payment information.

Permissions the extension requests

activeTab — access the tab you are working on when you use the extension.

tabs — detect the active tab URL, capture the visible area, adjust the tab zoom for device sizes, and open the image, text and video editors.

scripting — inject the capture scripts into the tab you are capturing.

storage — save your settings locally and, if you use Chrome Sync, sync them across your devices.

alarms — keep the service worker alive during long captures.

sidePanel — display the PSnap control panel.

<all_urls> — allow capturing any site you choose and downloading the stylesheets and fonts those pages use, even when they are hosted on other domains.

Third-party services

PSnap Free does not integrate with any third-party service and does not send data to external servers. The PSnap interface uses a font bundled with the extension and loads nothing from external servers. To discover routes and to export as Markdown or HTML, your browser requests the pages, sitemap.xml and robots.txt directly from the site you are capturing, and downloads the stylesheets and fonts those pages use, even when they are hosted on other domains (for example, a CDN or Google Fonts), just as the page itself would. Those requests go from your browser to those sites, never to PSnap.

When the Pro plan becomes available, this policy will be updated before that launch to reflect the new services used.

Data sharing and security

We do not sell, trade, or share your information with third parties, no exceptions. Data is stored locally using Chrome APIs (storage.local and IndexedDB); the login password is never stored and nothing is transmitted to an external server. The optional Chrome Sync described above is managed by Google.

Children’s privacy and changes

PSnap is not directed at children under 13. We may update this policy as PSnap evolves; continued use after changes means acceptance.
