One Screenshot ("we", "us", "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the extension handles your data.
Our core principle: We collect no data. Everything happens on your device. Your screenshots never leave your computer.
One Screenshot is a Chrome browser extension that allows you to:
Chrome requires us to declare all permissions the extension uses. Here's what we request and why:
activeTabAllows the extension to access the active tab when you click the extension icon. This is necessary to capture the content you select.
scriptingAllows the extension to run code that enables the screenshot selection interface. This code only runs when you actively use the extension.
storageAllows the extension to store your preferences (like default styling options, window size preferences, etc.) locally on your computer. All data is stored in chrome.storage.local—nothing is sent to any server.
downloadsAllows the extension to save screenshots to your computer when you click "Download".
<all_urls>Allows the extension to run on any website. This is necessary because you may want to capture screenshots from any page you visit.

Because we don't collect data:
The extension does not use third-party analytics, crash reporting, or tracking services. We don't know who uses the extension or how often.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or the extension:
We may update this privacy policy as the extension evolves. Major changes will be communicated to users. Your continued use of the extension after changes means you accept the updated policy.
