Overview

Paneshot is a Chrome extension that captures full-page screenshots of websites and displays them inside a browser mockup. This policy explains exactly what data the extension accesses, how it is used, and what happens to it.

The short version: everything stays on your device. Nothing is collected, transmitted, or stored remotely.

What Paneshot accesses

Screenshot of the current tab

When you click the Paneshot icon, the extension captures a screenshot of the active tab using Chrome's built-in captureVisibleTab API. This screenshot is:

• Processed entirely within your browser
• Temporarily stored in chrome.storage.local to pass it from the background script to the editor panel
• Automatically overwritten the next time you capture
• Never transmitted to any server or third party

Page content (for capture only)

To produce a full-page screenshot, the extension temporarily:

• Reads the page's scroll height and viewport dimensions
• Hides fixed and sticky elements so they don't repeat across strips
• Scrolls the page downward to capture each section
• Restores all original page styles and scroll position immediately after capture

This access is read-only and temporary. No page content, URLs, or DOM data is recorded or transmitted.
