Overview
SnapInsights is a Chrome browser extension designed for UX researchers to capture screenshots with annotations and voice recordings. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
The short version: SnapInsights operates entirely on your local device. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data, screenshots, annotations, or voice recordings to any external servers.
Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information. SnapInsights is designed with privacy as a core principle:
- No account required: You can use SnapInsights without creating an account or providing any personal information.
- No analytics or tracking: We do not use any analytics services, tracking pixels, or cookies to monitor your usage.
- No data transmission: Your screenshots, annotations, and voice recordings are never sent to our servers or any third-party services.
Data Storage
All data generated by SnapInsights is stored locally on your device:
- Screenshots: Saved directly to your device's Downloads folder (or your configured download location).
- Settings and preferences: Stored locally using Chrome's storage API on your device.
- Voice recordings: Processed locally using your browser's built-in Web Speech API. Audio is not stored; only the transcribed text is embedded in screenshots.
You have complete control over all captured content. You can delete, move, or manage your screenshots like any other file on your computer.
Permissions We Request
SnapInsights requires certain Chrome extension permissions to function. Here's what each permission is used for:
- Active Tab: To capture screenshots of the current webpage you're viewing.
- Downloads: To save captured screenshots to your device.
- Storage: To save your preferences and settings locally within Chrome.
- Scripting: To inject the capture functionality and visual markers into webpages.
We only request permissions that are strictly necessary for the extension's core functionality.
Third-Party Services
SnapInsights uses the following browser-native APIs, which operate entirely on your device:
- Web Speech API: Used for voice-to-text transcription in Transcribe mode. This is a built-in browser feature; audio processing occurs locally on your device.
- Canvas API: Used to render and save screenshots locally.
We do not integrate with any external third-party services, advertising networks, or data brokers.
Children's Privacy
SnapInsights is intended for professional UX researchers and is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect or store your personal data, there is no data to request, correct, or delete from our systems. All your captured content remains on your local device under your complete control.
