| 17 | + |
| 18 | + <h2>Summary</h2> |
| 19 | + <p> |
| 20 | + TextBundler does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. |
| 21 | + The extension has no analytics, no telemetry, no remote servers, and no |
| 22 | + user accounts. Everything happens locally in your browser. |
| 23 | + </p> |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + <h2>What the extension does</h2> |
| 26 | + <p> |
| 27 | + When you click the toolbar icon or use the context menu on the page you |
| 28 | + are currently viewing, TextBundler: |
| 29 | + </p> |
| 30 | + <ol> |
| 31 | + <li>Reads the HTML of the active tab to extract the article.</li> |
| 32 | + <li>Downloads the images referenced by that article directly from their |
| 33 | + original hosts, using your browser's normal network stack.</li> |
| 34 | + <li>Converts the HTML to Markdown and packages it together with the |
| 35 | + downloaded images into a <code>.textpack</code> file.</li> |
| 36 | + <li>Saves that file via your browser's normal download mechanism.</li> |
| 37 | + </ol> |
| 38 | + <p> |
| 39 | + Nothing is sent to the extension authors. Image requests go directly |
| 40 | + from your browser to the same servers that hosted the article — exactly |
| 41 | + as if you had right-clicked and saved each image yourself. |
| 42 | + </p> |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + <h2>Permissions and why they exist</h2> |
| 45 | + <dl> |
| 46 | + <dt><code>activeTab</code> and <code>scripting</code></dt> |
| 47 | + <dd>Inject the extraction script into the page you are viewing, only |
| 48 | + when you explicitly invoke the extension.</dd> |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + <dt><code>downloads</code></dt> |
| 51 | + <dd>Save the generated <code>.textpack</code> file to your downloads |
| 52 | + folder.</dd> |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + <dt><code>contextMenus</code></dt> |
| 55 | + <dd>Add the <em>Archive Page as TextBundle</em> entry to the right-click |
| 56 | + menu.</dd> |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + <dt><code>notifications</code></dt> |
| 59 | + <dd>Show a confirmation when an archive succeeds or fails.</dd> |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + <dt><code>storage</code></dt> |
| 62 | + <dd>Store your extension preferences (figure and table output format). |
| 63 | + Synced through your browser's built-in settings sync if you have it |
| 64 | + enabled; never sent to any third party.</dd> |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | + <dt>Host permissions</dt> |
| 67 | + <dd>The extension fetches images from the same hosts that served the |
| 68 | + article you are archiving. It does not run scripts on arbitrary pages |
| 69 | + in the background; the content script is injected on demand for the |
| 70 | + single tab you invoke it on.</dd> |
| 71 | + </dl> |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + <h2>Data the extension stores</h2> |
| 74 | + <p> |
| 75 | + The only data stored by the extension is your preferences (a couple of |
| 76 | + formatting options). They live in your browser's extension storage. The |
| 77 | + extension does not store browsing history, page contents, downloaded |
| 78 | + archives, image data, URLs, or any identifier of any kind. |
| 79 | + </p> |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + <h2>Third parties</h2> |
| 82 | + <p> |
| 83 | + None. The extension communicates with no third-party services. Image |
| 84 | + downloads go directly to whichever servers the article links to — those |
| 85 | + requests are governed by those servers' own privacy policies and your |
| 86 | + browser's settings, not by TextBundler. |
| 87 | + </p> |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + <h2>Children</h2> |
| 90 | + <p> |
| 91 | + TextBundler is a general-purpose archiving tool and is not directed at |
| 92 | + children. It collects no information from anyone, including children |
| 93 | + under 13. |
| 94 | + </p> |
| 95 | + |
