# Privacy Policy — Photopea Quick Edit

**Last updated:** July 6, 2026

This privacy policy describes how the **Photopea Quick Edit** Chrome extension ("the Extension", "we", "us") handles information when you use it.

## Summary

Photopea Quick Edit helps you open images from web pages in the [Photopea](https://www.photopea.com) online image editor. The Extension does **not** sell your data, does **not** run analytics or advertising trackers, and does **not** collect browsing history. Data is processed only when you explicitly use one of the Extension's features.

## What the Extension does

When you use the Extension, it may:

1. **Right-click an image** — fetch that image and open it in a Photopea editor window.
2. **Click the toolbar icon** — show a drag-to-select overlay on the current page, capture the selected area as a screenshot, and open it in Photopea.
3. **Click "Copy to clipboard"** in the editor — export the current document as a PNG and write it to your system clipboard.

All of these actions are **user-initiated**. The Extension does not access pages or images in the background.

## Information we process

### Image data

When you open an image or capture a screenshot, the Extension processes that image locally in your browser so it can be displayed in the editor. Image data is:

- Stored briefly in **Chrome session storage** (`chrome.storage.session`) only long enough to pass it from the background script to the editor window.
- Removed from session storage as soon as the editor page loads.
- Not uploaded to any server operated by the Extension developer.

### Page access

When you use the screenshot tool, the Extension captures only the **visible portion** of the tab you are viewing, cropped to the area you select. When you use the right-click menu, the Extension fetches only the **specific image URL** you clicked.

The Extension does not read, store, or transmit the full text content, form data, passwords, or browsing history of web pages.

### Clipboard

If you click **Copy to clipboard**, the Extension writes the exported PNG to your system clipboard. This happens only on your explicit click. The Extension does not read clipboard contents at other times.

## Third-party services

### Photopea (photopea.com)

The editor window embeds the official Photopea web application in an iframe. When you use the editor:

- Photopea's website and application code are loaded from **https://www.photopea.com**.
- Images you open are sent to the Photopea iframe via the browser's `postMessage` API so they can be edited.
- Your use of Photopea is also subject to Photopea's own terms and privacy practices.

We do not control Photopea's data handling. For details, see Photopea's website and policies at [https://www.photopea.com](https://www.photopea.com).

### Image hosts

When you right-click an image on a website, the Extension may fetch that image directly from its source URL (which may be on a third-party server). That request is made only for the image you selected and is not shared with the Extension developer.

## What we do not collect

The Extension does **not**:

- Collect personally identifiable information (name, email, address, etc.)
- Use analytics, telemetry, or crash-reporting services
- Display ads or use ad networks
- Track your browsing activity across sites
- Store data on remote servers operated by the Extension developer
- Share or sell data to third parties

## Data retention

- **Session storage:** Image data is kept only for the short period between opening the editor and the editor page loading, then it is deleted.
- **No persistent storage:** The Extension does not use `chrome.storage.local` or `chrome.storage.sync` for user data.

## Permissions explained

| Permission | Why it is used |
| --- | --- |
| `contextMenus` | Add "Edit in Photopea" to the right-click menu on images |

## Children's privacy

The Extension is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

## Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
