# Privacy Policy for Screenshot Capture

_Last updated: 2026-08-25_

Screenshot Capture is a Chrome extension that saves pasted or dropped content (screenshots, text, HTML, CSV, or Markdown) to a folder on your computer. This policy explains what data the extension handles and how.

## Data collection

Screenshot Capture does not collect, transmit, or sell any data. It has no analytics, no telemetry, and makes no network requests. Everything it does happens locally on your device.

## Data it stores locally

Using the `storage` permission, the extension keeps the following in your browser's local extension storage (`chrome.storage.local`) — never sent anywhere:

- Your configured save destination folder name
- The resolved path of your Downloads folder (used to generate the `/screenshot` skill file)
- Collage history: for every collage you've created (not just the active one), its ID, label, and every saved item's filename and full content — the image data itself for screenshots, the full text for Markdown/CSV/HTML/plain-text files — kept so switching back to a past collage still shows real previews
- The ID of the currently open popup window (`chrome.storage.session`, cleared when the popup closes and never persisted to disk), used so clicking the toolbar icon again focuses the existing popup instead of opening a duplicate

## Data it saves to disk

Using the `downloads` permission, the extension saves the content you paste or drop (images, text, HTML, CSV, or Markdown) as files in your Downloads folder, under the subfolder you configure (default: `Screenshots`). These files stay on your computer; the extension never uploads them anywhere.

Using the `unlimitedStorage` permission, the extension is allowed to store larger amounts of data locally (e.g. multiple screenshot thumbnails during collage mode) without hitting the browser's default storage limit.

## Deleting your data

- The **Delete all saved files** button in the extension's settings permanently deletes all previously saved files in your configured destination folder from disk. This cannot be undone.
- Uninstalling the extension removes its local storage data (settings and collage state). It does not delete files already saved to your Downloads folder.

## Third parties

Screenshot Capture does not share any data with third parties, because it does not transmit data anywhere in the first place.

## Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same location with a revised "Last updated" date.
