ClearSnip Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

ClearSnip ("the extension") is a browser extension for taking and annotating screenshots. This policy explains what data the extension handles. In short: your screenshots never leave your device.

What we do not collect

• We do not collect, upload, transmit or store your screenshots, page content, URLs or browsing history on any server.
• We do not use analytics, tracking, advertising or telemetry of any kind.
• We do not require an account.

Data processed locally on your device

• Screenshots. When you start a capture, the visible part of the current tab is captured and cropped inside your browser. The image is handed to the editor through the extension's local storage (IndexedDB) and deleted from there as soon as the editor opens. You decide what happens next: copy it to your clipboard or save it as a file.
• Preferences. Your last-used tool, color and size are stored locally with Chrome's extension storage.

Data shared with third parties

None. The extension makes no network requests and does not share, sell or transfer any data to anyone.

Permissions

• activeTab and scripting: used only on the tab where you click the ClearSnip icon or press its shortcut, to show the selection overlay and capture the visible area.
• storage: local editor preferences.

The extension requests no host permissions.

Data retention and deletion

All data is stored on your device. Uninstalling the extension removes it.

Children

The extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information.

Changes

We will update this page if the extension's data practices change.
