> What ShotFrame collects, what it never collects, and where data goes.

This is the privacy policy for **ShotFrame** — Full-page screenshots that never leave your computer. The extension page is at https://www.extensionshop.store/extension/shotframe.

## Data collected

| Data | Optional | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Settings (stored locally) | No | Your preferences, such as file format, filename pattern and theme. Kept in Chrome's extension storage on your device and never sent anywhere. |
| Usage counts (stored locally) | No | When ShotFrame was installed, how many captures completed, on how many days, and when the last capture worked or failed, plus your answers to the optional rating and Ko-fi notes. Used only to decide when to show those notes. Numbers and times only, with no pages and no images. They stay on your device. |
| Capture in progress (memory only) | No | While a capture is running or open in the editor: its status, and the page title and address used for the filename. Held in Chrome's session storage, in memory, and cleared when Chrome closes. |

## Never collected

- The screenshots you take — they stay in memory until you download, copy or edit them, are never written to the extension's storage, and are discarded when you close the editor, start a new capture, or after 15 minutes
- The content of the pages you capture — nothing is read beyond what the screenshot needs
- Browsing history — ShotFrame can only see a page after you click its button or shortcut on that page, and keeps no list of pages
- Your Google account, name, email or any personal identifiers — there is no account
- Analytics, telemetry, tracking or ads of any kind
- Data sent to any first-party or third-party server — ShotFrame has no server and makes no network requests

## Third-party sharing

None. ShotFrame has no server, makes no network requests and uses no analytics, SDKs or ads. Three links open a normal browser tab only when you act: "Rate it" opens ShotFrame's Chrome Web Store page, "Support on Ko-fi" opens the developer's Ko-fi page, and uninstalling opens a short optional feedback form on Tally (tally.so) that receives nothing unless you fill it in and submit it. ShotFrame sends nothing to any of them, and nothing is added to the form's address; anything you choose to type in the form goes to Tally and to the developer.

## Encryption

No data is transmitted.

## Data retention

Settings and usage counts stay in your browser's extension storage until you remove the extension, which deletes them automatically. The status of a capture in progress is held in memory and cleared when Chrome closes. Screenshots are never stored by the extension: a capture is discarded when you close the editor, start a new capture, or after 15 minutes, and only the files you save yourself remain.

## Permissions

| Permission | Why it is needed |
| --- | --- |
| Manage your downloads (downloads) | Saves your screenshot to your Downloads folder, or wherever you choose. This is the only permission Chrome asks you about when you install ShotFrame. |
| Active tab (activeTab) | Lets ShotFrame capture and measure only the tab where you clicked its button or pressed its shortcut, and only after you did. There are no host permissions, so it cannot see any other page. |
| Scripting | On that tab only, after your click: measures the page, scrolls it for full-page captures, shows the area and element selector, and puts everything back afterwards. |
| Offscreen | Assembles the screenshot tiles on a canvas and holds the finished image in memory until you save or copy it, because Chrome's background service worker has no canvas. |
| Storage | Remembers your settings (format, filename pattern, theme), a few local usage counts, and the status of a capture in progress. Never image data. |
