Privacy Policy for SwiftShot - Screenshot Editor
Effective Date: 06th March, 2025
At SwiftShot, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how our browser extension collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our service.
Information We Don't Collect
SwiftShot is designed with privacy in mind. We want to be clear about what we do not collect:
- We do not collect or store your personal information
- We do not track your browsing history
- We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
- We do not sell your data to third parties
Permissions We Use
Our extension requires certain permissions to function properly. Here's why we need each permission:
- activeTab: This allows our extension to capture screenshots of the currently active tab when you activate SwiftShot. We only access the active tab when you explicitly click on our extension icon or use the keyboard shortcut.
- scripting: This allows our extension to inject the necessary code to capture and edit screenshots. We only use this permission when you activate the extension.
- downloads: This allows you to save your edited screenshots to your device. We don't track or access your downloaded files.
- clipboardWrite: This allows you to copy your edited screenshots to your clipboard. We don't read from your clipboard or access clipboard data.
- host_permissions: This allows our extension to work on any website you visit. We only activate when you explicitly request a screenshot.
How Your Data is Processed
All screenshot capturing and editing happens locally on your device. When you take a screenshot:
- The image is captured and processed entirely within your browser
- Editing operations (drawing, adding text, blurring, etc.) are performed locally
- The final image can be saved to your device, copied to your clipboard, or printed directly from your browser without any data being sent to our servers
Upload Feature and Data Storage
When you choose to use the "Upload" feature:
- Your edited screenshot will be uploaded to our servers
- We store these uploaded screenshots on our servers to enable sharing via URL
- The uploaded screenshots are accessible to anyone with the URL
- We do not associate your uploaded images with your personal information or identity
- Uploading is completely optional and only occurs when you explicitly click the Upload button
Data Retention
For uploaded screenshots:
- We may retain uploaded screenshots on our servers indefinitely or until you request removal
- We do not have an automatic deletion schedule for uploaded screenshots
- If you wish to have an uploaded screenshot removed, please contact us with the URL of the image
Children's Privacy
Our extension is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the effective date.
Your Rights
You have the right to request deletion of your uploaded screenshots. If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please contact us.
