# Privacy Policy — Brightspace Transcript Saver

**Last updated:** March 21, 2026

This policy describes how the **Brightspace Transcript Saver** browser extension (“the extension”) handles information when you use it.

## What the extension does

The extension helps you copy or save transcript text from the transcript or captions panel in D2L Brightspace (and similar) video pages. It runs only when **you** open the extension and click **Pull transcript** (or use copy/download). It does **not** run continuously in the background to collect data.

## Data collection and transmission

- The extension **does not** send your transcripts, browsing history, or any personal data to our servers. **We do not operate a backend** for this extension.
- Transcript text is read from the page only to show it in the extension popup or to place it on your clipboard / in a file you download. That processing happens **locally on your device**.

## Permissions (why they are needed)

| Permission   | Purpose |
| ------------ | ------- |
| **Host access** | Brightspace often loads the video and transcript inside embedded frames that may use a different web address than the course page. The extension needs permission to run a small script in those contexts so it can read the visible transcript text when you ask it to. |
| **Scripting**   | Injects that read-only script only when you use the extension. |
| **Tabs**        | Targets the tab you are using when you pull a transcript. |
| **Downloads**   | Lets you save a `.txt` file when you choose download. |

## Third parties

The extension does not embed analytics or advertising. Your use of Brightspace, your school, or video hosts is governed by their own terms and policies.

## Changes

We may update this policy if the extension changes. The **Last updated** date at the top will change when we do.
