Privacy policy for Html to PDF Exporter for Blog
Html to PDF Exporter for Blog by Aiven Technologies
Html to PDF Exporter does not collect, store, access or transmit any personal data or personal information. There is no account to create, no sign-in, no server to talk to, and no analytics of any kind.
Everything the add-on does happens locally, inside your own browser, on your own device. When you export a page, the add-on reads that page in your browser's memory, works out which parts are the article and which are the header, sidebar, menu, footer, popups and ads, builds the PDF, and saves it to the folder your browser uses for downloads. Nothing about the page, the export or you leaves your computer.
Information we do not collect:
The add-on collects none of the following, at any time:
• Names, email addresses, phone numbers or postal addresses
• Accounts, usernames, passwords or authentication tokens
• IP addresses, device identifiers, operating system or browser fingerprints
• Browsing history, visited URLs, bookmarks, tabs or search queries
• The content of the pages you export, or any text, image or file taken from them
• Anything you type into a page, including form fields and payment details
• Cookies, advertising identifiers or cross-site tracking data
• Location data
• Usage analytics, crash reports, telemetry, event logs or feature-usage statistics
Because none of this is collected, none of it is stored, profiled, shared or sold.
How the add-on works:
The content detection runs on your device, not on a server. The add-on's AI logic is bundled inside the extension itself and executes in your browser when you click Export.
The sequence is:
1. You click Export on a page you are already viewing.
2. The add-on examines the structure of that page in your browser's memory and scores each block to separate the article from the header, navigation menu, sidebar, footer, cookie banner, newsletter popup, share buttons, related-post widgets and advertising.
3. It assembles the parts it identified as the article into a PDF.
4. Your browser saves the PDF to your downloads location.
5. The working copy of the page is discarded as soon as the export finishes or the tab is closed.
At no point in this sequence is page content, or any derivative of it, uploaded to a remote server, a cloud service or an external API. The add-on makes no network requests of its own.
Your settings stay on your device:
The only thing the add-on saves is your own export preferences, such as page size and margins. These are held in your browser's local extension storage on your own device.
These preferences contain no personal information. They are never transmitted anywhere, they are not synced to us, and they cannot be used to identify you. Removing the add-on removes them with it, and you can clear them at any time from the add-on's settings or by removing the add-on.
Third parties and data sharing:
The add-on contains no third-party code that collects data. There are no analytics libraries, advertising SDKs, tracking pixels, error-reporting services or social media integrations bundled with it.
No data is sold, rented, licensed, disclosed or shared with anyone, including advertisers, data brokers, affiliates and law enforcement, for the simple reason that no data is ever collected to share. There is no database, and no server-side record of you or your exports exists.
Children's privacy and your rights:
No information is collected from users of any age, including children under 13, so no children's data is held.
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export, restrict and delete the personal data a service holds about you. Those rights are satisfied here by default: there is no personal data to retrieve, correct, export or erase, and no profiling or automated decision-making about you takes place. Uninstalling the add-on removes it and your saved preferences from your device completely.
PDFs you create are ordinary files on your own computer. They belong to you, the add-on keeps no copy or index of them, and managing or deleting them is entirely under your control.
Changes to this policy and contact:
If a future version of the add-on ever changes how it handles data, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the effective date above will change with it. Material changes will also be noted in the add-on's release notes on its Firefox Add-ons listing, so you can see what changed before you update.

This policy covers the Html to PDF Exporter Firefox add-on only. Pages you export are governed by the privacy policies of the websites that publish them.
