Privacy Policy for Fast Chrome Screen Capture

Last updated: May 18, 2025

Introduction

The Fast Chrome Screen Capture Chrome extension ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your data when you use our screen capture service.

Data Collection and Storage

Our extension collects and stores:

  • Temporary screenshot data (stored in clipboard only, not on disk)
  • Extension preferences and settings
  • Your extension rating (if provided)

All settings data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure storage APIs and is not transmitted to our servers. Screenshots are stored temporarily in your clipboard only and are not saved to disk or transmitted to any servers.

Clipboard Usage

  • All screenshots are copied exclusively to your system clipboard
  • No screenshot data is ever saved to disk or transmitted to external servers
  • The URL of the current page is copied along with the screenshot
  • Your clipboard data remains private and under your control at all times
  • Screenshots exist only until you copy something else to your clipboard

Permissions

Our extension requires:

  • activeTab: To capture the current tab's content
  • clipboardWrite: To copy screenshots to your clipboard
  • storage: For saving your preferences locally

We request minimal permissions to ensure your privacy and security.

Analytics

We collect limited anonymous usage data including:

  • Installation/uninstallation events
  • Error reports
  • Feature usage statistics

This data is aggregated and non-identifiable. No actual screenshot content is included in analytics.

Third-Party Services

We use:

  • Chrome Web Store for distribution
  • Google Analytics for anonymous usage tracking

We do not use any third-party services that would have access to your screenshot content.

Your Control Over Your Data

You maintain complete control over your data:

  • All screenshots exist only in your clipboard until you paste them somewhere
  • No persistent storage of screenshots occurs within the extension
  • Uninstalling the extension will remove all stored preferences
  • No backups of your screenshots exist on any external servers

Updates to Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted here with an updated date.
