Privacy Policy

Overview

Snipaze is designed as a local research companion. The extension stores your notes, categories, screenshots, OCR text, copied text, settings, and UI state locally in your browser using IndexedDB. No information is transmitted to any external server.

What data is stored locally

• Note content (text and images)
• Screenshots and OCR results
• Copied text you choose to insert
• Source URLs and page titles
• Timestamps and creation dates
• Category names and assignments
• Pinned status and filters
• Theme, sidebar state, and other UI preferences

All of the above is stored only on your device using the browser’s IndexedDB API.

Data sharing

Snipaze does not sell, share, or transmit your data. The extension does not include analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or any form of remote logging. There are no third-party SDKs embedded in the extension.

Permissions

Snipaze requests only the permissions necessary to function:

• activeTab — to capture content from the current tab when you explicitly trigger a capture
• storage — to persist notes and settings locally
• scripting — to inject the sidebar and capture logic into the active tab

User control

You have full control over your data at all times:

• Export a full backup from Settings → Export All Data
• Clear all extension data from Settings → Clear All Data
• Import Backup — coming in a future update

Clearing browser storage or uninstalling the extension also removes all locally stored data.

Children

Snipaze is a general-purpose browser tool. It does not knowingly collect data from or target users under the age of 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy is updated, the effective date above will change. Significant changes will be noted in the Changelog.
