Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the MD Clipper Chrome extension (the "Extension"). It describes how the Extension collects, uses, and handles your information.

Data Collection

MD Clipper does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

The Extension operates entirely locally on your device. It does not use any analytics, tracking, telemetry, or third-party services that would receive data from the Extension.

Permissions

The Extension requests the following Chrome permissions:

• activeTab — to read the content of the current tab when you explicitly click "Grab Current Page" or "Start Batch Capture."
• downloads — to save exported Markdown files to your browser's default download directory.
• storage — to persist your settings (e.g., download subdirectory, CSS selector, batch mode state) locally on your device. This data never leaves your browser.
• host permissions — only for the sites you choose to capture. The Extension operates only when you activate it.

How Data Is Used

The Extension reads the content of the web page you select solely for the purpose of converting it into a Markdown file. The content is processed in-memory, converted on your device, and saved as a local file via the Chrome downloads API. No portion of the page content, the extracted text, or the generated Markdown is ever sent to any remote server.

Third-Party Services

The Extension does not integrate any third-party analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or external APIs. It is a purely client-side tool with no network communication beyond loading the Extension's own UI from the packaged files.

Data Retention & Deletion

Since no data is collected by the Extension, there is nothing to retain or delete. Your settings (stored in chrome.storage) are cleared when you uninstall the Extension.

Children's Privacy

The Extension does not intentionally collect any information from children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

If this policy is updated, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the change. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
