ThreadSnap: Thread Exporter — Privacy Policy

ThreadSnap is designed to protect your privacy. This policy explains what the extension does and does not do with your data.

Summary

ThreadSnap does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. It does not send your data to the developer or to any server we control. The files you export are generated locally, inside your own browser.

What the extension accesses

• The current X / Twitter thread. When you click the ThreadSnap toolbar button on an x.com or twitter.com thread, the extension reads the posts already rendered as you scroll — their text, author, timestamps, engagement counts, and media — in order to build the file you asked to export.
• Media and fonts from Twitter's content delivery network. To embed the photos and video thumbnails that are already displayed in the thread — and the fonts the thread is rendered with — the extension re-reads those files from Twitter's own servers (pbs.twimg.com, abs.twimg.com, and other *.twimg.com hosts). These requests go to Twitter, not to the developer, and carry no information about you beyond ordinary image and font requests.
• Your export preferences. Your chosen output format and image quality are saved using the browser's local extension storage so your settings persist between sessions.

What the extension does NOT do

• It does not send your exported files, the thread content, or any other data to the developer or any third-party server.
• It does not collect personally identifiable information, credentials, browsing history, or analytics.
• It does not track your activity across sites.
• It does not post, like, follow, reply, or change anything in your X / Twitter account.
• It does not use the X / Twitter API or sign in on your behalf.
• It does not load or execute any remote code.

How your files are created

All exported files (PDF, images, ZIP) are generated on your device from the posts displayed in your browser and saved through your browser's normal download mechanism. They are never uploaded anywhere.

Data storage

The only data stored is your export-preference settings, kept locally on your device via the browser's extension storage. You can clear it at any time by removing the extension.

Permissions

• activeTab — grants access to the current tab only at the moment you click the ThreadSnap button, so it can read the open thread. No standing access to any site is kept.
• scripting — to inject the capture code into that tab on demand when you start an export.
• storage — to remember your export preferences locally.

The extension requests no host permissions. The media and fonts it embeds are readable because Twitter's own content servers permit it (standard CORS headers), using only the access the page itself already has.

Responsible use

ThreadSnap only works with content you can already view in your browser. You are responsible for ensuring your use of exported content complies with applicable copyright, the platform's Terms of Service, other people's privacy, and any laws that apply to you.

Changes to this policy
