SideSnip privacy policy (last updated 24 October 2026)

Short version: SideSnip doesn't collect, send, sell or share any of your data. Everything you save stays in your browser, on your own device.

What SideSnip stores
SideSnip saves the following in your browser's extension storage, on your device only:
- the snippets you create: titles, text, and any files or images you add;
- your groups;
- your settings: panel position, theme and the selected group;
- the list of websites where you turned SideSnip on or off.
SideSnip has no servers and no accounts, and contains no analytics, tracking or advertising. None of this information leaves your device.

What SideSnip reads, and when
- Web pages: on sites where you turn SideSnip on, it shows its panel and remembers which form field you last clicked, so it can type into it. When you use Attach, it looks for the page's upload fields. It doesn't record the pages you visit or what's on them.
- Your clipboard: read only when you click "Add copied text", and only after you've allowed clipboard access. The text goes into the new-snippet form and is saved only if you click Save.
- Files you add: stored inside the extension so you can attach them to forms later. They're only put into a website when you choose to attach or drop them there.

Sharing
SideSnip doesn't share any data with anyone. There are no third parties involved.

Backups
Export creates a backup file of your snippets, files and groups, saved where you choose. SideSnip never uploads it anywhere.

Deleting your data
Delete snippets or groups in the panel at any time. Removing the extension deletes everything it stored.

Permissions
- Access to websites: to show the panel and fill in forms on the sites you choose.
- Clipboard read (optional): only for "Add copied text", asked the first time you use it.
- Unlimited storage: so you can keep files such as your resume.
