TableSnap — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 August 2026

The short version

TableSnap reads the table you ask it to export — Chrome classifies that as handling "website content", and we disclose it rather than pretend otherwise. That content is converted inside your browser and written to your clipboard or your Downloads folder. It is never transmitted anywhere. The extension makes no network requests at all, and there is no server for it to talk to.

What the extension does with your data

When you click the TableSnap icon, it reads the tables on the page you are currently viewing, converts the one you pick into the format you chose, and either copies it to your clipboard or hands the file to Chrome's downloader.

All of that happens inside your browser. The table content exists in page memory for the duration of the export and then goes to your clipboard or your disk. It is never sent anywhere.

Data we handle

Website content — processed locally, never transmitted. When you click Export, TableSnap reads the cells of the table you selected so it can convert them. That is the entire extent of the data it touches, it happens only on the page you invoked it on, and the result goes only to your clipboard or your disk.

Nothing is transmitted off your device. Specifically, there is:

- No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting or usage statistics. - No accounts, sign-ups or licence keys. - No advertising or tracking identifiers. - No transmission of page content, table data, URLs or browsing history. - No collection of personal information of any kind.

We disclose the above because Chrome Web Store policy requires disclosing how an extension handles user data even when that data never leaves your device.

Data stored on your device

Two preferences, via Chrome's local storage API:

· Key · Value · · format · The export format you last selected (csv, tsv, json or md) · · sanitize · Whether the "neutralise spreadsheet formulas" checkbox is ticked ·

These never leave your computer and are removed when you uninstall.

Network activity

None. TableSnap makes no network requests at all — not to the developer, not to any analytics provider, not to any third party. It contains no third-party libraries, no remote code, no external fonts and no external images.

Website access

TableSnap requests no host permissions. It uses activeTab, which grants temporary access to a single page, only after you click the toolbar icon, and only for that interaction. It cannot read pages in the background, cannot run on sites you have not explicitly invoked it on, and cannot observe your browsing.

Permissions

· Permission · Why it is needed · · activeTab · To read the tables on the page you clicked the icon on. · · scripting · To run the table-reading function in that page after your click. · · downloads · To save the exported file to your Downloads folder. · · storage · To remember the two preferences listed above. ·

Third parties

There are none. No data is shared with, sold to, or processed by anyone, because no data ever leaves your device.

Children

TableSnap is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children.

Changes

Any future version of this policy will be published at this URL with a new "last updated" date. Since the extension collects nothing, a change would be a clarification rather than a new use of data.
