SnapSide Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 18, 2026
SnapSide ("this extension") is a Chrome browser extension developed by ame_dev ("the developer"). This policy explains how user data is handled when you use this extension.
1. Collection of Personal Information
This extension does not collect any personal information. Your browsing history, page content, and input data are never sent to the developer's server.
2. Information Stored Locally
This extension stores the following information only inside your browser (via Chrome's chrome.storage API):
- Side window settings such as width ratio and position
- URLs registered as favorites
- Initial install timestamp (used for managing the free trial period)
- Session information (main / side window IDs, tab history)
This data persists across browser and PC restarts but is never transmitted externally.
3. Third-Party Services
3.1 ExtensionPay (License management / Payment processing)
License purchases (after the free trial) are processed by ExtensionPay (operated by Glench LLC) using Stripe.
- When making a purchase, you are redirected to the ExtensionPay payment page (extensionpay.com).
- Your email address and payment information (credit card details, etc.) are received and processed directly by Stripe. The developer does not have access to this information.
- For more details, please refer to:
3.2 Google Favicons API (Favicon retrieval for favorites)
To display the favicon of URLs you register as favorites, this extension sends only the domain name of the URL to Google's public favicon service (https://www.google.com/s2/favicons). This is Google's standard favicon retrieval feature and does not include any personal information.
