LongShot Browser Extension

Last Updated: September 8, 2026

LongShot ("we", "our", or "the Extension") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy details our policies regarding information collection and usage across Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox.

1. 100% Local Processing & Zero Data Collection

No Personal Data Collected: LongShot does not collect, record, harvest, transmit, or monetize any personal information, browsing history, keystrokes, URLs, or screen contents.
Local Operation: All screenshot captures, full-page stitching, drawing, shape markup, redacting/blurring, and PDF generations occur strictly locally on your machine within your browser's private memory sandbox.
No External Servers: LongShot operates zero external tracking servers, analytics endpoints, or remote cloud storage. Your data never leaves your computer.
Zero Third-Party Trackers: No analytics libraries, tracking pixels, or telemetry scripts are included in the extension.

2. Permissions Justification

Permission	Technical Justification
activeTab	Accesses the currently active browser tab when you click to capture a screenshot (full page, selected area, manual scroll, or visible screen).
scripting	Temporarily executes lightweight capture scripts to measure page dimensions, trigger smooth scrolling, and snap slice frames.
<all_urls>	Allows the extension to capture screenshots on any webpage you choose to visit. Only activated upon explicit user initiation.
storage	Stores local user preferences (e.g. image format PNG/JPEG, scroll speed, theme mode) locally via `chrome.storage.local`.
unlimitedStorage	Allows temporary local browser storage of high-resolution screenshot fragments while loading the editor tab.
downloads	Saves your exported PNG, JPEG, or multi-page PDF files to your computer's Downloads directory upon clicking download.

3. Data Retention

Captured image slices stored in local extension memory are temporary. You can clear them at any time by closing the editor tab or clearing extension data.

4. Advertising & In-App Sponsorships

To support ongoing maintenance, free updates, and development, LongShot displays non-intrusive, privacy-respecting sponsored messages inside the editor tab (viewer.html):

Zero Tracking: No tracking cookies, search profiling, or behavioral monitoring are used. Your browsing habits and screenshot data remain completely private.
No External Injection: Sponsored content is strictly restricted to LongShot's own editor page. LongShot never injects ads or popups into third-party websites.
User Control: All sponsored messages are clearly identified with a Sponsored badge and can be collapsed or minimized at any time.

5. Children's Privacy

LongShot does not collect information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
