Privacy policy for the Chrome extension.

- Operational events, not file contents
What stays on your device
The extension stores settings and workflow state locally in Chrome using the storage APIs: for example your download queue, popup preferences (save mode, folder names, delays, UI options), optional license information, and whether analytics are enabled. A session-scoped record of completed downloads may be kept to help you skip files you already grabbed in the same browser session.
What the extension reads from webpages
When you run a scan, the extension injects a short script into the tab (or tabs you chose) to collect links and related text already present in the page, similar to what you could copy manually. It does not upload page HTML or full page contents to our servers as part of scanning.
Optional analytics
If analytics are left on (you can turn them off in the extension), aggregated operational events may be sent to Trusted Applications endpoints—for example when a scan or batch download starts or finishes—to help fix bugs and improve the product. Events are designed to avoid file contents, exported link lists, clipboard data, and credentials. Our suite-wide privacy overview describes how the companion backend may process these events.
What analytics are not meant to collect
The design intent is not to collect the bodies of files you download, your full browsing history, passwords, or form contents. Chrome also blocks the extension from running on restricted internal pages; those pages are outside the product’s supported scope.
How to opt out of analytics
Open the extension, go to Settings, and disable analytics. Core scanning, filtering, queuing, and downloading continue to work with analytics turned off.
