Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how the Save Image As Type browser extension processes information. We build extensions with absolute privacy in mind. We believe that your browsing data, images, and activities are your own business.

1. Zero Telemetry & Local Processing

• No Remote Servers: This extension has no remote servers, no analytics trackers, and no telemetry collection.
• 100% Offline/Local Execution: All image fetching fallbacks, canvas scaling, format conversions, and downloads occur completely on your local device inside the sandboxed context of your browser. Your images never leave your computer.
• No Third-Party CDNs or Libraries: The extension codebase contains no external CDNs, tracking links, or remote dependencies.

2. Permissions Justification

The extension requests the following browser permissions solely to enable functional features:

• contextMenus: Used to display the "Save Image As Type" options when you right-click on web page elements.
• downloads: Used to download the converted image file directly to your local downloads directory.
• storage: Used to persist your customized settings locally (e.g. quality settings, filename patterns, history logs) across browser restarts.
• offscreen: Used to instantiate a sandboxed canvas conversion engine to encode images into PNG/JPG/WebP since MV3 Service Workers lack visual DOM canvases.
• notifications: Used to alert you of successful conversions or errors.

3. Third-Party Sites and Services

Because the extension runs entirely locally, it does not share any data with third-party sites or services.

4. Contact & Developer Details

The extension is distributed under open-source MIT guidelines and can be inspected at any time. For questions regarding the extension, contact developer Jalal Achkoune or inspect the code directly via the official repository.
