ScrollshotLast updated 16 September 2026
Privacy policy
Scrollshot collects no data, transmits no data, and has no server to transmit it to. Everything the extension does happens on your own computer.
What the extension collects
Nothing. Scrollshot does not collect, store or transmit personal information, browsing history, page content, screenshots, credentials, or usage analytics. There is no account system, no tracking, no advertising, and no third-party SDK bundled into the extension.
Where your screenshots go
A capture is composed in your browser's memory, held briefly in the browser's own local storage while the editor tab opens, and written to your computer by Chrome's download manager — into Downloads/scrollshot/. Captures still sitting in temporary storage are pruned automatically every 30 minutes. At no point is an image uploaded anywhere.
The extension makes no network requests of any kind. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet: every feature continues to work.
Your settings
Your preferences — default format, capture mode, image quality, scroll delay, filename pattern — are stored using Chrome's extension storage on your device. They are never sent anywhere. Uninstalling the extension removes them.
Permissions, and why each is needed
| activeTab | Access to the single tab you invoke Scrollshot on, at the moment you invoke it. Scrollshot requests no broad host permissions. |
|---|---|
| scripting | Measures page dimensions, neutralises fixed and sticky elements, and scrolls the page during capture — then restores it. |
| downloads | Saves the finished image or PDF to your Downloads folder. |
| storage | Stores your settings and the in-progress capture locally. |
| clipboardWrite | Copies an image to your clipboard when you press Copy. It never reads your clipboard. |
| contextMenus | Adds the right-click "Capture full page screenshot" entry. |
| notifications | Confirms that a keyboard-shortcut capture finished when no popup is open. |
| alarms | Schedules the half-hourly cleanup of temporary capture storage. |
Children
Scrollshot is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. Because it collects no data at all, it collects no data from children.
Changes to this policy
If the extension ever changes in a way that affects this policy, this page will be updated and the date at the top revised. A change that introduced any data collection would also require a new permission prompt from the Chrome Web Store before it could take effect.
