WebPhoto — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 19 June 2026

WebPhoto is a Chrome extension that captures a full-page screenshot of the web page you are viewing and lets you annotate it before saving or sharing. This policy explains exactly what the extension does — and does not do — with your information.

The short version

WebPhoto does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any of your data. Everything the extension does happens locally, inside your own browser. Your screenshots and annotations never leave your device.

What data we collect

None. WebPhoto has no servers and no backend. It does not collect personal information, browsing history, analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics. It does not use cookies or any form of tracking.

How your screenshots are handled

When you click the WebPhoto toolbar button, the extension captures the current page and opens it in an editor tab. The captured image and any annotations you add are processed entirely in your browser's memory. They are only saved when you choose to:

  • download the image as a PNG, JPG, or PDF file to your own computer, or
  • copy the image to your system clipboard.

WebPhoto never uploads your screenshots anywhere and makes no network requests of any kind.

Permissions and why they are needed

  • activeTab — lets WebPhoto act on the page you are currently viewing, and only at the moment you click the toolbar button. The extension requests no host permissions and has no standing access to any website.
  • scripting — lets WebPhoto inject a small helper (bundled with the extension) into the active page to measure its height and scroll it section by section so a full-page screenshot can be captured.
  • tabs — lets WebPhoto read the active tab's title and URL to label your screenshot, capture the visible area of the page, and open the editor tab.
  • clipboardWrite — lets WebPhoto copy your finished screenshot to the clipboard when you choose "Copy to clipboard".

Third parties

WebPhoto does not share data with any third party, because it does not collect any data. No remotely-hosted code is loaded or executed; all code ships inside the extension package.

Children's privacy

WebPhoto does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same URL with a new effective date.
