Pixel Stash Privacy Policy
The short version
Pixel Stash does not collect, transmit, sell or share any of your data. Your screenshots and settings stay on your computer, and the extension never sends anything over the internet.
Who makes Pixel Stash
Pixel Stash is a free Chrome extension published by 321Enterprise ("we", "us"), the web studio of L.A. Bean. It has no accounts, ads or paid features.
What Pixel Stash handles, and where it stays
Pixel Stash only works with information when you ask it to: when you click the toolbar button, use a keyboard shortcut, or choose a capture option from the right-click menu.
| What | Why | Where it's kept | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| The screenshot of the tab you chose to capture | So you can crop, annotate and save it | In the extension's own local storage on your computer (IndexedDB) | Cleared automatically once it's over 24 hours old (the cleanup runs the next time you take a capture). Removing the extension deletes it immediately. |
| The page address (URL) and title of the captured tab | To show in the editor and to build the saved file's name, e.g. 2026-10-29_14-05_example.com.png | Stored with the screenshot, as above | Same as the screenshot |
| Images you save or copy | Because you clicked Save or Copy | Save writes a PNG file to your Downloads folder through Chrome's normal download feature. Copy puts the image on your clipboard. | These are your files. Pixel Stash keeps no copy and doesn't track them. |
| Your settings (annotation color, stroke width, text background, blur style, save folder, whether to ask where to save, the last save location) | So the extension remembers your choices | chrome.storage.local on this Chrome profile. It is not synced to your Google account or other devices. | Until you change them or remove the extension |
| Whether the shortcuts list in the popup is open | So the popup opens the way you left it | The popup's own local storage on this computer | Until you remove the extension |
What Pixel Stash does not do
- It makes no network requests. Nothing you capture, type or annotate leaves your computer.
- There are no analytics, tracking, telemetry, cookies, ads or crash reporting.
- It does not read or watch pages in the background. It only accesses the tab you're on, at the moment you start a capture.
- It does not load code from the internet. All of its code, including the Fabric.js drawing library, ships inside the extension.
- It does not sell, share or transfer any information to anyone, and it doesn't use any information for advertising, credit checks or lending decisions.
Links that open our website
The Options page, popup and editor include links such as Send feedback. Clicking one opens our website in a normal browser tab. The feedback link adds the installed version and where you clicked from to the address (for example ?v=0.2.0&src=extension), so we know which version the feedback is about. This is an ordinary website visit made by your browser, not by the extension. Like any website, ours receives the basic information browsers send, such as your IP address and browser type, and it uses Google Analytics to count visits. That applies to the website only, never to the extension. If you use the feedback form there, it opens your own email app with your message filled in, and nothing is sent until you send that email.
Other links open Chrome's own settings pages (keyboard shortcuts and download location) and never leave your computer.
Permissions, and why each one is needed
| Permission | What it's used for |
|---|---|
activeTab | Capture the tab you're on, only after you click or use a shortcut. There is no access to any other tabs or websites. |
scripting | For area selection and full-page capture, briefly run a script in the tab you chose. It draws the selection overlay, or scrolls the page and measures it so the pieces can be stitched together. |
downloads | Save your edited image as a PNG in your Downloads folder, and show where it was saved. |
storage | Remember your settings on this computer. |
contextMenus | Add the Pixel Stash capture options to the right-click menu. |
Pixel Stash requests no other permissions, including no access to "all websites."
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
Pixel Stash's use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Children
Pixel Stash isn't directed at children, and it collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If a future version changes how Pixel Stash handles information, we'll update this page and the effective date before that version is released. A change that would send any data off your computer would be called out clearly in the release notes.
