Privacy Policy for LinkSnap

Last Updated: August 18, 2025

LinkSnap, developed by 1s.is (https://1s.is/), is a Chrome extension designed to help users quickly capture, highlight, and manage links on any webpage. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

LinkSnap collects and processes the following types of data:

1.1. User Preferences

  • Data Collected: The extension stores user preferences, such as the position of the floating button (e.g., top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right) and its visibility state (visible or hidden).
  • How It’s Stored: These preferences are saved locally on your device using Chrome’s storage API and may be synced across your devices if you enable Chrome’s sync feature.
  • Purpose: To customize the extension’s behavior according to your settings, such as button placement and visibility, for a seamless user experience.

1.2. Webpage Content

  • Data Accessed: The extension accesses the content of webpages you visit to identify and manipulate <a> (link) tags for highlighting and copying purposes.
  • How It’s Used: This data is processed locally on your device to highlight links, add copy buttons, and copy link URLs or HTML to your clipboard.
  • No Storage: Webpage content is not stored, saved, or transmitted by the extension.

1.3. No Personal Data

  • LinkSnap does not collect, store, or process personal information such as your name, email address, IP address, browsing history, or any other personally identifiable information.

2. Permissions and Why We Need Them

LinkSnap requires the following permissions to function:

  • activeTab: Allows the extension to interact with the currently active tab to highlight links, add a floating button, and copy content.
  • storage: Enables saving and retrieving your preferences (button position and visibility) for a personalized experience.
  • scripting: Permits the extension to execute JavaScript to modify webpage content, such as adding buttons and applying styles to links.
  • host_permissions: ["<all_urls>"]: Allows the extension to work on any webpage, ensuring functionality across all sites you visit.

These permissions are used solely to provide the core features of LinkSnap and are not used to collect or transmit any personal data.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • User Preferences: Stored locally or synced via Chrome’s storage API to maintain your settings (e.g., button position, visibility).
  • Webpage Content: Processed locally to highlight <a> tags, add a floating button for copying links as a list or HTML, and facilitate one-click copying of individual links.
  • No Data Sharing: We do not share, sell, or transfer any data collected by the extension to third parties.
  • No Analytics or Tracking: LinkSnap does not use analytics, tracking, or advertising services to monitor your activity.

4. Data Security

  • All data processing (e.g., accessing webpage links, copying to clipboard) occurs locally on your device.
  • User preferences stored via chrome.storage.sync are managed by Chrome’s secure infrastructure.
  • We do not transmit any data to external servers or store it remotely.

5. Your Rights and Choices

  • Access and Control: You can view and modify your preferences (button position, visibility) at any time through the extension’s popup interface.
  • Data Deletion: You can remove all stored preferences by uninstalling the extension or clearing Chrome’s storage data via your browser settings.
  • Disable Sync: If you do not want preferences synced across devices, you can disable Chrome’s sync feature in your browser settings.

6. Third-Party Services

LinkSnap does not integrate with or rely on any third-party services, APIs, or external servers. All functionality is self-contained within the extension and operates locally.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the extension’s functionality or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on our website (https://1s.is/) or within the Chrome Web Store listing. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy will indicate the latest revision.
