SnapCSV is built to do as little to your data as possible.

What SnapCSV sends

The extension never collects, transmits, or logs the pages you visit, the tables you scan, or the contents of any export. Those stay entirely on your device.

What the extension does send is a small amount of aggregate usage telemetry to Google Analytics 4, so we can answer basic product questions like "is the upgrade flow working?" and "how often does activation fail?" Specifically:

• A randomly generated device ID — a 10-digit random string with a Unix-timestamp suffix, stored in chrome.storage.local on first run. It is not derived from any personal data and is not shared across browsers or devices.
• Event names and counts at product-flow milestones: upgrade_prompt_shown, upgrade_clicked, license_activated, license_activation_failed, export_blocked, extension_error. Never page URLs, never table data, never CSV contents.
• A 30-minute session ID stored in chrome.storage.session, cleared when Chrome closes.

Data is sent to Google Analytics 4's Measurement Protocol endpoint (google-analytics.com/mp/collect). GA4 sees the request IP for geolocation and discards it per Google's stated policy. No browsing-history profile is built — GA4 sees only the events listed above tied to the random device ID.

The only way to opt out today is to remove the extension. A settings toggle to disable telemetry is on the roadmap; until it ships, email support@snapcsv.app if you'd like guidance on clearing the extension's local storage manually.

Where your exports go

When you click Export CSV, the file is generated inside your browser and handed to Chrome's Downloads API. The file lands on your local machine. SnapCSV does not have a server that sees, stores, or copies your CSV.

License key handling (Pro users only)

When you buy SnapCSV Pro and paste your license key into the extension, two things happen:

• The key is stored locally in chrome.storage.local on your machine.
• The key is sent to LemonSqueezy (our payment provider) for activation and validation. LemonSqueezy returns a yes/no answer. SnapCSV caches the answer for 24 hours and re-validates after that window expires.

The only data exchanged with LemonSqueezy is your license key and an activation instance ID. No browsing data, no export contents, no IP-tied profile.

Cookies and the marketing site

This marketing site does not set tracking cookies. It runs Plausible Analytics for aggregate page-view counts — total pageviews, referring domain, and country (derived from IP and then discarded). Plausible is cookieless and does not build a cross-site profile of you. No personal data is collected. Read Plausible's methodology at plausible.io/data-policy.

The uninstall feedback page embeds a Google Forms iframe so departing users can tell us why. If you choose to fill out that form, your responses (the reason you selected and any optional free-text comment) are stored in the operator's Google account. We do not collect your email address through that form.

These are the only third-party requests the marketing site makes. The extension itself remains zero-data — see the section above.

Permissions the extension requests

SnapCSV requests four Chrome API permissions:

• activeTab — to read the current tab's HTML when you click the icon. Nothing happens automatically; you have to click.
• scripting — to inject the table-detection function on demand.
• storage — to remember your daily export count, license key, and the random device ID described above.
• downloads — to save the CSV file to your computer.

It also declares two specific host permissions for outbound API calls:

• https://api.lemonsqueezy.com/ — license activation and validation (Pro users only).
• https://www.google-analytics.com/ — sending the aggregate event telemetry described above.

SnapCSV does not request <all_urls> or any broader host permission.

Children

SnapCSV is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to this policy

If anything material changes, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change, and Pro customers will be notified by email.
