Privacy Policy
Last updated 28 September 2026
Uncut does not collect your data. Screenshots are produced on your computer and never leave it. The extension makes exactly one kind of network request, and only if you buy Uncut Pro: it asks Gumroad whether your licence key is valid. Nothing else is ever sent anywhere.
What Uncut does with your data
No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, no third-party code, no account to create, and no server of ours to talk to. Your captures, the pages you visit and the edits you make stay on your machine.
The one exception, added in version 2.2.0, is licence activation. If you buy
Uncut Pro and paste your key, the extension sends that key to
Gumroad's licence endpoint
(api.gumroad.com/v2/licenses/verify)
to ask whether it is genuine, and repeats that check about once a week so a
refunded licence stops working. The key is the only thing transmitted: no
image, no page address, no email, no identifier of any kind. If you never buy
Pro, Uncut makes no network requests at all.
What is stored, and for how long
When you capture a page, the resulting image is written to your browser's
local extension storage (chrome.storage.local)
so it can be handed to the result tab. Only the most recent capture is ever
kept - each new one replaces it - and it stays until then so that refreshing
the result tab does not lose your work. If you activate Pro, your licence key
is stored in the same place so you do not have to paste it again. Nothing is
written outside
your browser profile until you choose to save a file, which goes to
your normal downloads folder like any other download.
Permissions, and why each one exists
- activeTab
- Read the page you are currently on, only when you click the Uncut button. Uncut has no standing access to any site.
- scripting
- Briefly adjust the page, freezing sticky headers and pausing scroll effects, so the capture is not torn. Every change is then undone.
- debugger
- Call the Chrome DevTools Protocol command that renders the whole page in a single pass, which is the only way to capture without stitching seams, and redraw the visible screen at 4K. Chrome shows a yellow banner while this is attached; Uncut detaches as soon as the capture finishes.
- downloads
- Save the image when you press a download button.
- storage, unlimitedStorage
- Hold the most recent capture, and your licence key if you have one. Full-page images routinely exceed the default quota, hence the second one.
- contextMenus
- Add an Uncut entry to the right-click menu, so you can start a capture without opening the popup. It reads nothing and shows no page data.
- api.gumroad.com
- The only website Uncut is allowed to contact, and only to check a Pro licence key. It has no access to any other site.
None of these permissions are used to observe, record, or transmit your browsing.
Selling, sharing and advertising
Uncut does not sell or transfer your data to third parties. It does not use or transfer your data for any purpose unrelated to its single purpose, and it does not use or transfer your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes. None of this is a promise we have to police, because no data is collected in the first place and there is nowhere for it to go.
Single purpose
Uncut captures the web page in your active tab as a single full-page image and lets you save it as PNG, JPEG, PDF or SVG. It does nothing else.
Remote code
All code ships inside the extension. There are no remote scripts, no
eval, no bundler and no
minification: six plain JavaScript files you can read in the unpacked
folder. The licence check receives an answer, never code.
Children
Uncut collects no data from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If a future version of Uncut ever sends data anywhere, this page will be updated before that version is published, and the change will be described here. That has happened once: version 2.2.0 added Uncut Pro, and with it the licence check described above. It is the only network request the extension has ever made.
