Privacy Policy – Image Collector
Image Collector is a Chrome extension that helps you collect image URLs from web pages and export them as JSON. This extension is designed to run entirely in your browser and to handle data in a minimal and transparent way.
Please respect the copyright and terms of service of the sites you collect images from. This tool only helps you collect URLs; how you use them is your responsibility.
1. Data we access and process
The extension only accesses:
- Image elements on the currently active tab, when you open the extension popup.
- The list of image URLs you have previously selected, stored locally in your browser.
The extension does not read or modify the textual content of pages beyond what is necessary to find `<img>` elements and their src/srcset-like attributes.
2. What we store
We use `chrome.storage.local` to persist:
- The list of selected image URLs for the current site/tab context.
This data is stored locally in your browser. It is not transmitted to any external server by the extension.
3. Clipboard usage
When you click the “Copy Selected” button, the extension:
- Builds a JSON payload containing the selected image URLs.
- Writes that JSON string to your clipboard using the Clipboard API.
Clipboard writes only occur when you explicitly click the copy button.
4. Network requests
Image Collector does not make any network requests to third-party servers on its own. All image URLs processed by the extension are URLs that already exist in the page you are viewing.
5. Permissions
The extension requests the following Chrome permissions:
- `activeTab`: to read images from the currently active tab when you open the popup.
- `storage`: to store your selection and state locally in `chrome.storage.local`.
- `clipboardWrite`: to copy the JSON payload to your clipboard when requested.
- `scripting`: to inject a small script into the active tab to enumerate images.
These permissions are used exclusively for the features described above.
6. Third parties and analytics
Image Collector:
- Does not use any analytics services.
- Does not include third-party tracking scripts.
- Does not share data with any third parties.
7. Children’s privacy
This extension is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed toward children. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
8. Changes to this policy
If this privacy policy changes, we will update the text in the Chrome Web Store listing and, where appropriate, in any linked policy page.
9. Contact
If you have questions about this extension or its privacy practices, please contact the developer via the contact information provided in the Chrome Web Store listing.
