Privacy policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Snipwind is a Chrome extension made by DS3C. This page explains what it does with your data. The short version: it collects nothing.

What Snipwind does not do

• It does not collect, store or send the pages you visit, their content, or the code you copy.
• It has no analytics, no tracking and no advertising.
• It does not require an account.
• It does not sell or share data with anyone, because it has none to share.

How it works

Snipwind only runs on a page after you click its toolbar icon or press its keyboard shortcut. It then reads the styles of the element you click, inside your browser, and shows you the result. That processing happens entirely on your device. The code reaches your clipboard only when you press Copy.

What is stored on your device

Snipwind keeps two things in Chrome's local extension storage:

• how many elements you have copied, and whether you have already seen or dismissed the one-time "rate this extension" prompt;
• your history: the code of the last 20 elements you copied, with the name of the site each came from, so you can reopen them. You can delete entries or clear the history from the panel.

Both stay on your device, are never sent anywhere, and are deleted when you remove the extension.

Pages it opens

Snipwind opens a welcome page on this site once, right after installation, and a short feedback page if you remove it. These are ordinary web pages with no tracking scripts. Sending feedback is optional.

Permissions

• activeTab: lets the extension read the element you click, only on the tab where you started it.
• scripting: shows the picker on that tab.
• storage: keeps the copy count and history described above.

Changes

If this policy changes, for example if a paid version is added, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date before the change is released.
