# Privacy Policy — Copy Doc for LLM

**Last updated:** August 10, 2026

Copy Doc for LLM is a Chrome extension that copies the Google Doc you are
viewing to your clipboard, formatted for pasting into an LLM.

## Summary

The extension collects nothing. It has no server, no analytics, no advertising,
and no tracking of any kind. The developer never receives your document
contents, your browsing activity, or any personal information.

## What the extension accesses, and what happens to it

### Document contents

When you click the extension's toolbar icon on a Google Doc, the extension
requests that document's text from Google's own export endpoint — the same
endpoint behind **File → Download → Markdown / Plain text** in Google Docs. The
request is authenticated by the Google session you are already signed in to, so
the extension can only ever read documents you already have permission to open.

That text is processed entirely inside your browser: line endings and spacing
are normalized, and an optional title and source line is added. The result is
placed on your clipboard.

The text is held in the popup's memory only while the popup is open, so that
switching between Markdown and plain text does not require re-downloading it. It
is discarded when the popup closes. It is never written to disk by the
extension, never sent to the developer, and never sent to any third party.

### Document titles and URLs

The extension reads the active tab's URL to identify which document to export,
and its title to build the optional header line. Both are used only for that
purpose, in that moment, and are not stored or transmitted anywhere.

### Your preferences

The extension saves three settings: your chosen output format (Markdown or
plain text), whether to include the title and source header, and whether to
export only the current document tab. These are stored using Chrome's
`storage.sync` API.

Because this is Chrome's *sync* storage, these three settings are synchronized
across your own Chrome installations through your Google account, in the same
way as your other Chrome settings. This is handled by Google, not by the
developer, and is governed by
[Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). No document
content is ever stored this way — only these three preferences.

## Network requests

The extension contacts only Google, and only to export your document:

- `https://docs.google.com` — the document export endpoint.
- `https://*.googleusercontent.com` — the host Google redirects that export
  request to in order to serve the file.

No other network requests are made. There are no requests to the developer or to
any third-party service.

## Permissions, and why each is needed

| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| `activeTab` | Read the URL and title of the tab you invoke the extension on, to identify the document. |
| `scripting` | Run the extension's bundled export function in the Google Docs page, so the export request uses your existing Google session. |
| `clipboardWrite` | Place the resulting text on your clipboard. |
| `storage` | Remember the three preferences described above. |
| Access to `docs.google.com` and `googleusercontent.com` | Call Google's export endpoint and follow its redirect. |

## Remote code

The extension executes no remote code. All of its code ships inside the
extension package and is reviewable in the public source repository.

## Data sharing and sale

No data is collected, so no data is sold, shared, or transferred to third
parties. The extension does not use your data for advertising, for
creditworthiness or lending decisions, or for any purpose unrelated to copying
the document you asked it to copy.

## Children

The extension is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. It
collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

## Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL with a
revised "Last updated" date.
