WebHarvester Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how WebHarvester handles data when you use the extension.
1. What the extension does
WebHarvester archives the active webpage by collecting page HTML and related resource URLs, then packages the result into a ZIP file you download locally.
2. Data we store
WebHarvester stores minimal local settings in your browser using chrome.storage.local (for example, extension preferences if configured).
3. Data we do not collect or sell
- We do not sell personal information.
- We do not send your harvested page archives to external servers.
- We do not include third-party analytics, ads, or tracking SDKs in extension code.
4. Permissions and why they are needed
sidePanel: display the downloader UI in Chrome side panel.activeTabandtabs: identify and target the active page.scripting: extract rendered page data from the active tab.downloads: save the generated ZIP archive.storage: store local extension settings.http://*/*andhttps://*/*host permissions: fetch page-linked resources for archive creation.
5. How archiving works
Data processing occurs locally in your browser while you run the extension. Output files are created only when you click the download action.
6. Data retention and control
You control your data. Generated ZIP files are saved where you choose, and you can delete them at any time. Removing the extension removes its local data based on browser behavior.
7. Policy alignment
This policy is intended to align with Chrome Web Store transparency and user-data disclosure expectations.
