Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Thank you for using SVG Studio ("Extension", "we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Chrome Extension. Your privacy is important to us. This Extension is designed to operate entirely locally within your browser.

2. Information We Collect

SVG Studio collects a limited amount of non-personally identifiable information solely to provide its core functionality:

  • SVG Code: When you use the Extension on a webpage, it searches for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) elements within the Document Object Model (DOM) of that active webpage. The Extension reads the outerHTML (the source code) of these identified SVG elements.

  • Origin Hostname: The Extension identifies the hostname (e.g., example.com) of the website where an SVG was found. This is used solely for generating more descriptive filenames when you choose to download an SVG or PNG.

  • Locally Stored SVG History: To provide a convenient history feature, the Extension stores the collected SVG code, a generated hash of the SVG content (for de-duplication), the origin hostname, and a timestamp directly on your computer using Chrome's local storage (chrome.storage.local). This history is limited to a maximum number of entries (currently 250) and older entries are automatically removed.

3. How We Use Information

The information collected is used exclusively for the following purposes within your browser:

  • Displaying SVGs: To render previews of the found SVGs within the Extension's sidebar panel.

  • Providing Core Functionality: To enable you to:

    • Download the original SVG code as a .svg file.

    • Download a rendered version of the SVG as a .png file.

    • Copy the original SVG code to your clipboard.

    • Copy a rendered PNG version of the SVG to your clipboard (requires temporary conversion within your browser).

  • Generating Filenames: To create unique and descriptive filenames for downloaded files using the origin hostname and a unique identifier.

  • Local History: To display previously found SVGs within the sidebar for your convenience.

4. Data Storage, Security, and Retention

  • Storage Location: All collected SVG code, origin hostnames, and the associated history are stored locally on your device using the chrome.storage.local API provided by your browser. This data is NOT transmitted to, or stored on, any external servers controlled by us or any third party.

  • Security: Data stored locally is subject to the security measures of your browser and operating system. The Extension itself does not add extra encryption to the stored history data. Clipboard operations utilize Chrome's secure mechanisms (including an offscreen document for reliability as required by Manifest V3).

  • Retention: The SVG history data persists in your local browser storage until:

    • It is automatically removed due to the history limit being reached.

    • You manually clear your browser's cache or extension data for SVG Studio.

    • You uninstall the Extension.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

  • No Data Sharing: We do not share the SVG code, origin hostnames, or your SVG history with any third parties. The data remains local to your browser.

  • Promotional Links: The Extension includes optional promotional links to external websites (azulventure.com, buymeacoffee.com). Clicking these links will take you to those external sites, which operate under their own respective privacy policies. The Extension does not send any of your collected SVG data or personal information to these sites when you click the links.

  • Clipboard Access: The Extension requires permission to write to your clipboard (clipboardWrite, offscreen with CLIPBOARD reason). This permission is only used when you explicitly click the "Copy" button within the Extension's interface to copy either SVG code or a rendered PNG image. The Extension does not read from your clipboard.

  • Download Access: The Extension requires the downloads permission solely to initiate the file download when you click the "Download" button.

6. Your Rights and Choices

  • Access and View: You can view the SVG history stored by the Extension directly within its sidebar interface.

  • Control Functionality: You choose when to activate the Extension and which SVGs to interact with (download/copy).

  • Clearing Data: You can clear the locally stored SVG history by clearing the Extension's data through your browser's settings (usually found under Extensions > SVG Studio > Details > Clear storage or similar).

  • Uninstall: You can uninstall the Extension at any time through your browser's extension management page. Uninstalling the Extension will remove all locally stored data associated with it.

7. Children's Privacy

The SVG Studio Extension is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy and potentially through a notice within the Extension or on the Chrome Web Store listing. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
