Privacy Policy
What this extension does
Burnshot uploads images you explicitly paste, drop, or select, and returns a short-lived URL. The image is deleted after it is fetched once, or after your chosen burn timer (30 seconds to 5 minutes) expires, whichever comes first.
Where images go
Images are uploaded to the extension's hosted backend (a Cloudflare Workers + R2 service operated by the developer). They are stored only until first fetch or timer expiry — at most 5 minutes — then permanently deleted. There are no backups, no content logs, and the images are never viewed, analyzed, sold, or shared.
Data handled for abuse prevention
- Install identifier: a random UUID generated locally on install, sent with uploads solely to enforce per-user rate limits. It contains no personal information and is not linked to any identity.
- IP address: used transiently to enforce per-network rate limits. Rate-limit counters are short-lived (minutes to a day) and are then deleted. IP addresses are not stored with images or used for any other purpose.
Data stored locally
Settings (burn timer and install identifier) are stored in Chrome's extension storage (chrome.storage.sync), which Chrome may sync across your own signed-in browsers.
What is never collected
No analytics, no telemetry, no browsing history, no page content. The extension only ever transmits images you explicitly provide.
Changes
Material changes to this policy will be reflected in this document with an updated date.
