Privacy Policy — Fullpage to Terminal

Last updated: 2026-05-09

TL;DR

This extension does not collect, store, transmit, or share any of your data. Period.

Everything happens 100% locally on your machine. No analytics, no telemetry, no servers, no third-party APIs.

What the extension does

When you press the hotkey or click the toolbar icon:

Captures the visible content of your current browser tab using Chrome’s built-in chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab API.
Saves the resulting PNG file to your local ~/Downloads/ folder via Chrome’s chrome.downloads API.
Writes the file path / file reference to your local clipboard, so you can paste it into a terminal or another app.
(macOS, optional) Communicates with a locally-installed native helper script via chrome.runtime.sendNativeMessage — the helper only writes to your local clipboard.

That’s it. No part of this process leaves your computer.

What data is involved

Data	Where it goes	Who can see it
The screenshot PNG	Your local `~/Downloads/` folder	Only you
The file path	Your local clipboard	Only you (and whatever app you paste into)
The URL of the page being captured	Used only to generate the filename (e.g. `fullpage-example.com-2026-05-03.png`); never transmitted	—

Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is logged remotely. The extension does not contact any server, ever.

Permissions explained

Permission	Why we need it
`activeTab`, `tabs`	To know which tab to capture
`scripting`	To inject the pre-scroll + sticky-header neutralization scripts so full-page screenshots are clean
`offscreen`	To play the camera shutter sound effect
`clipboardWrite`	To write the file path to your clipboard so you can paste it
`storage`, `unlimitedStorage`	To pass the captured image data from the background script to the viewer page (local Chrome storage only)
`downloads`	To save the PNG to `~/Downloads/`
`nativeMessaging`	(macOS only, optional) To call the local helper script that writes a “file reference” to the clipboard, enabling Claude Code’s `[Image #N]` auto-attach
`host_permissions: <all_urls>`	Required by `chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab` to capture pages on any site

Third parties

None.

This extension does not include or load any third-party code, fonts, scripts, analytics SDKs, or trackers. There are no requests to any external domain.

Native helper installer (macOS, optional)

If you choose to install the optional macOS native helper (downloaded as a separate .pkg from the GitHub Releases page), the installer drops two files on your machine:

/Library/Application Support/FullpageToTerminal/copy_file_to_clipboard.sh
/Library/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.fullpageshot.copyfile.json

Both are 100% local, never run unless invoked by the extension via Chrome’s Native Messaging, and contain no telemetry. To uninstall, run:

sudo bash "/Library/Application Support/FullpageToTerminal/uninstall.sh"
