Privacy Policy — ViewOnly PDF Saver

Last updated: September 14, 2026

ViewOnly PDF Saver ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that lets you save the document previews and images rendered on the page you are currently viewing as a PDF file. This policy explains exactly what the Extension does and does not do with your information.

Summary: The Extension does not collect, store, sell, or transmit any of your personal data. All PDF generation happens locally, inside your own browser.

1. Data we collect

None.

The Extension does not collect, log, or transmit any personal information, browsing history, analytics, telemetry, or usage statistics to the developer or to any third party. There are no accounts, no sign-in, and no tracking.

2. How the Extension works

When you open the Extension popup and press Auto-Scroll & Save or Quick Capture, the Extension:

  • Runs only on the tab that is currently active, and only after you click a button. It does not run in the background on other tabs.
  • Reads the images and document previews already rendered on that page.
  • Draws those images onto a canvas inside your browser and compiles them into a single PDF using a bundled, offline copy of the jsPDF library.
  • Saves the finished PDF to your computer using your browser's normal download mechanism.

All of this takes place on your device. The generated PDF and the image data used to create it are never uploaded to the developer or any external service.

3. Network requests

The Extension may request image files from the same website you are currently viewing in order to include them in your PDF (for example, when a page loads images from its own content delivery network). These requests:

  • Go directly from your browser to that website's servers — the same servers your browser already contacted to display the page.
  • Are used only to retrieve the image bytes needed to build your PDF.
  • Are not routed through, copied to, or logged by the developer.

The Extension contains no analytics services, advertising SDKs, or third-party tracking of any kind.

4. Data storage and retention

  • Image data is held in memory only while your PDF is being generated and is discarded as soon as the process completes.
  • The Extension does not use chrome.storage, cookies, localStorage, or any other persistent storage for your document contents.
  • The only file the Extension creates is the PDF you explicitly asked for, saved to your own device.

5. Permissions and why they are needed

  • activeTab — Lets the Extension act on the current tab only when you click the button, so it can read the page you want to save.
  • scripting — Allows the Extension to inject the PDF-building code into the active page at the moment you trigger it.
  • host_permissions (<all_urls>) — Allows the Extension to retrieve image bytes from the site you are viewing so cross-origin images can be included in the PDF. It is used solely for fetching images to build your PDF.
  • declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess — Lets the Extension set an appropriate Referer header on those image requests so that images protected against hot-linking can still be included in your PDF.

The Extension requests these permissions only to perform its single function: turning the page you are viewing into a PDF on your device.

6. Third-party services

The Extension uses the open-source jsPDF library, which is bundled locally inside the Extension package. No code or data is loaded from remote servers, and no third-party service receives your information.

7. Children's privacy

The Extension is a general-purpose utility, does not collect any data, and is not directed at children under the age of 13.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will be revised and the updated policy will be published together with the Extension.

9. Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact the developer through the extension's listing page on the Chrome Web Store, or at hello@truehorizon.codes.
