Image Grabber Privacy Policy

Image scanning and processing run in your browser; the extension does not collect or share personal data. It downloads images directly from their original URLs when you ask, and contacts the licence server only for an optional Premium licence. No analytics, no account.

01Data Collection

Image Grabber does not collect any of the following:

  • Personal identification information
  • Browsing history or URLs visited
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Cookies or tracking identifiers
  • Image content or file data

02Data Storage

Image Grabber stores the following data locally in your browser using the Chrome Storage API:

  • Collected image URLs — URLs of images found on web pages you visit while the extension is active
  • Page metadata — the page URL and title of each tab where images were collected
  • Removal records — URLs you have manually removed, so they stay excluded after re-scans
  • User preferences — filter settings, auto-collect toggle state, view mode
  • License data — the license key you entered and its activation status

Local data stays on your device except for the optional licence fields described under Third-Party Services; uninstalling deletes the local copy.

03Permissions

  • storage — Required to save collected image URLs and user preferences locally
  • downloads — Required to download selected images to your computer
  • sidePanel — Required to display the image gallery in Chrome's side panel
  • declarativeNetRequest — Required to set the Referer header for image previews and downloads on hotlink-protected sites. Rules apply only while a panel shows images from a tab or during a download batch, are scoped to the image domains on screen, and are removed when the panel closes, you switch tabs, or the page navigates.
  • host_permissions (<all_urls>) — Required to scan web pages for images. When auto-collect is enabled, the extension scans continuously as the page loads; otherwise it only scans on manual trigger.

Image Grabber does not use these permissions to read personal data, track activity, or transmit content to external servers.

04Image Downloads

  • Images are fetched directly from their original source URLs
  • Downloads are saved locally to your computer's ImageGrabber/ folder
  • No image data is sent to any third-party server
  • All download processing runs locally in your browser

05Third-Party Services

Image Grabber does not use analytics or advertising services. Images are downloaded directly from their original source URLs; those websites may see your IP address and request metadata under their own policies. The only connection to the developer is the optional Premium licence check at api.annmax1983.com, which carries your licence key, a random install identifier and basic browser metadata — never images, page content or browsing history. Our licence server records the IP address of these requests solely for rate limiting and abuse prevention — never for profiling, advertising, or sharing with third parties.

06Data retention & deletion

Your settings and content stay in your browser until you delete them in the extension or uninstall it. Uninstalling removes the extension's local data. Nothing is retained on our servers, because your content is never sent to them.

07Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the revised version will be published on this page with a new date. Material changes will be noted in the extension's release notes.
