Trawlpane: Image Downloader — Privacy Policy
Short version: Trawlpane stores its settings only in your browser (storage.local). Nothing is sent to Zydeno or anyone else. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
What Trawlpane reads
Trawlpane reads a web page only after you press its toolbar button or its keyboard shortcut on that tab. It then looks through the page for pictures: their addresses, alt text and sizes. When you press "Scroll to load more", it scrolls that page down and back. It never clicks, types or changes anything on the page.
For pictures whose address has no file extension, the page itself asks the site for the file type (a HEAD request to the same site that already shows the picture), so the saved file gets the right extension.
What is stored, and where
- Settings: default folder, file name pattern, finding options, grid, theme and language.
- Filters you used last (size, type, shape, source, search text), so they are there next time.
- While the browser is open, the list of pictures found on a tab is kept in session storage so the full tab can show it. It is cleared when the browser closes.
- Nothing is stored about the pages you visit after that, and no history of what you saved is kept by Trawlpane.
Saved files
Pictures you choose to save are downloaded by your browser from the site that shows them, into your Downloads folder (or a folder inside it that you name). They go straight from the site to your computer. Trawlpane does not upload, copy or inspect them anywhere else.
Network
Trawlpane itself makes no network requests to Zydeno or any other service. The only requests are the ones that show and save the pictures you asked for, made to the sites those pictures come from. Fonts, icons and code are inside the extension.
Permissions
- activeTab: lets Trawlpane see the current tab only after you press its button or its shortcut.
- scripting: runs the read-only picture finder on that tab, only when you ask.
- downloads: saves the pictures you pick into your Downloads folder. Downloads you start yourself are never renamed or touched.
- storage: keeps your settings and filters in your browser.
Trawlpane asks for no access to all websites, no browsing history, no tabs list and no notifications.
Backup
Export writes your settings to a JSON file through your browser. Import reads such a file locally and checks it before anything changes.
Children
Trawlpane does not collect personal data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published at this address with a new date. Trawlpane will not start collecting data without a new version of the extension and a clear notice.
