Privacy Policy

Introduction

PageDrop is a Chrome extension that lets you capture screenshots of web pages — the visible viewport, a full scrollable page, or a selected region — and annotate them in a built-in editor before copying or downloading the result.

Your privacy matters. This policy explains what PageDrop does and does not do with your information. In short: PageDrop collects no personal data, sends nothing to external servers, and keeps all screenshot processing on your device.

Data Collection

PageDrop collects zero user data. We do not collect, store, sell, rent, or share any personal information, browsing history, account details, or usage analytics.

• No data is transmitted to any server operated by PageDrop or any third party.
• No cookies are set by PageDrop.
• No analytics, tracking, or advertising tools are used.
• All screenshot capture, editing, and export happens locally in your browser.

When you take a screenshot, the image is stored temporarily in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB) so you can access recent captures in the editor's history panel. Up to 50 recent captures are kept until you delete them. This data never leaves your device and is removed when you uninstall the extension or clear your browser's extension data.

Permissions Explanation

PageDrop requests only the permissions needed to capture and edit screenshots when you explicitly start a capture. None of these permissions are used to collect or transmit personal data.

• activeTab Allows PageDrop to access the tab you are currently viewing only when you start a capture — by clicking the toolbar icon, using a keyboard shortcut, or choosing an option from the right-click menu. PageDrop does not access tabs in the background without your action.
• tabs Used to identify which tab and window to capture, take the screenshot itself, send coordination messages during full-page and region capture, open the editor after a capture, and show optional capture progress on the extension badge. PageDrop does not read or record the content of your tabs beyond what is needed for the capture you requested.
• scripting Used to inject PageDrop's content script into the active tab when needed — for example, to scroll the page during a full-page capture, display the region-selection overlay, show status messages, and restore the page afterward. Injection only happens on tabs where you have started a capture.
• contextMenus Used to add a "PageDrop" entry to the right-click menu on web pages, giving you quick access to Print Page, Scroll & Capture, and Snip Area without opening the toolbar popup.
• clipboardWrite Used in the editor so you can copy your finished screenshot to the clipboard when you choose to. PageDrop only writes the image you explicitly copy; it does not read your clipboard.
• storage Used to save your light or dark theme preference locally in the browser. PageDrop reads this setting when the popup and editor open so the interface matches your chosen mode. Theme data is stored only on your device in chrome.storage.local and is never transmitted to any server.
• host_permissions (<all_urls>) Required because users may want to capture screenshots on any website they visit. PageDrop needs access to the page being captured to scroll it for full-page screenshots, display the region-selection overlay, and coordinate capture on sites across the web. PageDrop does not collect, transmit, or store data from the pages you visit.

Third Parties

PageDrop does not integrate with any third-party services, APIs, analytics platforms, or advertising networks. No data is shared with third parties because no data is collected in the first place.

The Chrome Web Store is operated by Google. Installing or updating PageDrop through the store is subject to Google's own privacy policy, which is separate from this one.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of PageDrop after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If we make material changes — for example, if PageDrop begins collecting any user data — we will update this page and, where required, notify users through the Chrome Web Store listing before the changes take effect.
