Snapshot Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Snapshot browser extension published by ExtHive, on every browser where it is distributed.

It does not cover the websites you use Snapshot on. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and using our extension does not change how they treat your data.

The general ExtHive Privacy Policy covers everything not specific to this extension, including your rights and how to exercise them.

Browsers ask you to approve permissions at install time. Here is every permission Snapshot requests and the feature that requires it. We do not request permissions for features we have not built.

The table below lists every category of data Snapshot touches, how it is handled, and whether it ever leaves your device. Only if enabled means it stays local unless you turn on a feature that needs otherwise, or are on a plan that includes one.

Snapshot is free in full and has no paid tier, so there is no licence to activate and no account to create. It has no ExtHive server component at all: every capture, edit and export is a local operation, and the extension makes no network requests to us.

There is no account, no login and no server-side component, so there is no category of data here to describe.

To be explicit, Snapshot does not collect, transmit or store any of the following:

• your browsing history or the list of sites you visit;
• the content of pages you view, beyond the moment-in-time processing described above;
• keystroke logs or clipboard contents;
• device fingerprints, advertising identifiers or location data;
• anything used to build an advertising or behavioural profile.

We do not sell data, we do not share it with data brokers, and we do not use your content to train machine learning models.

Snapshot uses your browser’s extension storage to keep your preferences. That storage is sandboxed to the extension: other websites and other extensions cannot read it.

You can clear it at any time from the extension’s settings, or by removing the extension. Uninstalling deletes all local extension data permanently.

We hold no copy of any of it, so once it is gone from your device it is gone entirely.

If you enable your browser’s built-in extension sync, your browser vendor — not ExtHive — may sync those preferences across your own devices under their privacy policy.

Snapshot stores nothing on ExtHive infrastructure, so there is nothing for us to retain. Preferences persist locally until you uninstall the extension or clear its storage, at which point they are permanently removed.

Extension stores require developers to declare their data handling. Our declarations for Snapshot state that we do not sell or transfer user data to third parties beyond the approved use cases, do notuse or transfer it for purposes unrelated to the extension’s single purpose, and do not use or transfer it to determine creditworthiness or for lending.

Those declarations match this policy. If you ever find a discrepancy between what a store listing says and what this page says, please tell us at privacy@exthive.com and we will correct it.

Because Snapshotkeeps your data on your own device by default, you can exercise most privacy rights directly: view your data in the extension’s settings, export it where an export exists, and delete it by clearing storage or uninstalling.

For any personal data we do hold, such as a support email you have sent us, write to privacy@exthive.com. Your full set of rights, and the timeframes we work to, are set out in the general Privacy Policy.

If Snapshot’s data handling changes, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change ships. A change that would send data off your device where it previously did not will always be announced in advance and, where the law requires, made subject to your consent.
