Long Screenshots does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. Everything the extension does happens locally in your browser.
What the extension accesses
-
The page you explicitly capture. When you click a capture button, the
extension reads the current tab's rendered pixels and page dimensions solely to build
your screenshot. It uses the
activeTabpermission, which grants access only to the tab you invoked it on, and only at that moment. -
Your settings. Export and capture preferences are saved with Chrome's
storageAPI so they persist between sessions. They never leave your browser profile. - Your captures. Stitched screenshots are stored temporarily in the browser's local IndexedDB so the editor can open them, and are pruned automatically (only the few most recent are kept). Exported files are saved to your Downloads folder.
What the extension does not do
- No data is sent to any server — the extension makes no network requests.
- No analytics, telemetry, tracking, or advertising.
- No remotely hosted code — all logic is bundled in the extension package.
- No access to your browsing history, cookies, passwords, or other tabs.
