Privacy Policy for Any Page to MD

Last updated: March 3, 2025

Overview

Any Page to MD ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that converts web pages to Markdown format. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how the Extension handles data.

Data Collection

We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. The Extension operates entirely within your local browser.

Specifically:

  • We do NOT collect browsing history
  • We do NOT collect page content or URLs you visit
  • We do NOT track your usage of the Extension
  • We do NOT use analytics, telemetry, or any tracking tools
  • We do NOT send any data to external servers
  • We do NOT use cookies
  • We do NOT collect personally identifiable information (PII)

How the Extension Works

When you use Any Page to MD:

  1. The Extension reads the content of the currently active tab ONLY when you explicitly trigger it (by clicking the icon, using a keyboard shortcut, or selecting a context menu option)
  2. The page content is processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript libraries (Mozilla Readability.js and Turndown.js)
  3. The converted Markdown is either copied to your clipboard or saved as a file locally on your device
  4. No data is transmitted to any external server at any point during this process

Local Storage

The Extension uses Chrome's local storage (chrome.storage.local) to save:

  • Your preference settings (toggle states, selected format)
  • A history of your last 10 conversions (page title, URL, and a short preview)

This data is stored ONLY on your device, is never transmitted anywhere, and can be cleared at any time by:

  • Clearing the history within the Extension
  • Removing the Extension from Chrome
  • Clearing browser data through Chrome settings

Permissions

The Extension requests the following Chrome permissions:

  • activeTab — To read the content of the current page when you trigger the Extension
  • scripting — To inject the conversion scripts into the active tab
  • clipboardWrite — To copy converted Markdown to your clipboard
  • storage — To save your preferences and conversion history locally
  • contextMenus — To add right-click menu options for quick conversion

Each permission is used only for its stated purpose and only when you explicitly trigger the Extension.

Third-Party Services

The Extension does NOT communicate with any third-party services. It uses the following open-source libraries, which are bundled locally within the Extension:

  • Mozilla Readability.js — for content extraction
  • Turndown.js — for HTML to Markdown conversion

These libraries run entirely within your browser and do not make any network requests.

Children's Privacy

The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Since the Extension does not collect data, changes are unlikely.

Open Source

The Extension's complete source code is publicly available on GitHub, allowing anyone to verify these privacy claims.
