DocGrab — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 June 2026

DocGrab (“the extension”) is a browser tool that converts web pages you are already viewing into Markdown or JSON files and saves them into a folder you choose on your own computer.

The short version: DocGrab does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. Everything it does happens locally inside your browser and on your own disk. There are no analytics, no tracking, no remote servers, and no third-party code.

What the extension accesses

Page content of the active tab (and, during a crawl, pages under the start URL you provide). The extension reads the already-rendered HTML so it can convert it to Markdown/JSON. This content is processed in memory and written only to the local folder you selected. It is never sent anywhere.
The destination folder you pick, chosen via the browser’s File System Access API. A reference to that folder (a “directory handle”) is stored in your browser’s local IndexedDB so you don’t have to re-pick it every session. The folder’s contents are never read back or transmitted.
Your settings. Output format, the “remove ads & noise” toggle, and crawl options are stored with chrome.storage.local on your device only.

What the extension does NOT do

It does not collect personally identifiable information.
It does not transmit any data off your device to us or to any third party.
It does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking of any kind.
It does not load or execute remote code.
It does not sell or share data — there is no data to sell or share.

Permissions, and why they’re needed

Permission	Why it’s used
`activeTab` / `scripting`	Read and convert the page in the current tab.
`tabs`	Open background tabs to render pages during a site crawl.
Host permissions `http:///`, `https:///`	So you can capture or crawl documentation on any site you visit. The extension only reads a site when you explicitly start a capture or crawl.
`sidePanel`	Provides the extension’s user interface.
`storage`	Remember your settings between sessions.

Data retention

The only persisted data is your settings and the reference to your chosen folder, both stored locally. Removing the extension clears them. The Markdown/JSON files DocGrab writes are ordinary files you own and control.
