Summary
Threadshot for Reddit does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal information or Reddit content with the developer. It has no developer backend, analytics service, advertising SDK, account system, or telemetry.
Content processed on your device
Only after you click the extension icon on a supported Reddit post, Threadshot temporarily reads content already loaded in that active tab. This can include the original post, selected comments, author names, scores, timestamps, images, subreddit name, and source URL.
That content is used only to show the selection interface, build the preview, and generate the PNG you request. Processing takes place inside your browser. The browser may continue to request an image from its original Reddit or content-delivery URL as part of rendering the page; it is not routed through a Threadshot server.
Information we do not collect
- Reddit posts, comments, usernames, source URLs, or generated PNGs
- Browsing history or activity on tabs where you did not invoke Threadshot
- Analytics, diagnostics, crash reports, advertising identifiers, or telemetry
- Account, payment, authentication, health, financial, or location information
Local storage
Threadshot uses browser extension storage only for a non-sensitive interface preference: the selected light or dark image theme. It does not store Reddit content, author names, generated images, or a history of visited posts. You can remove this preference by uninstalling the extension or clearing its local extension data.
Chrome permissions
activeTab- Temporarily accesses only the current tab after you explicitly click the extension icon.
scripting- Injects the content selection and image preview interface into that active tab.
storage- Saves the non-sensitive light or dark theme preference on your device.
The release does not request persistent host access to Reddit and does not install a continuously running content script.
Sharing, selling, and retention
Because Threadshot does not collect Reddit content or personal information, the developer has nothing of that kind to sell, share, or retain. In-memory page data disappears when the injected interface is closed, the page is reloaded, or the tab context is destroyed. The PNG is saved directly by your browser to the location you choose.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
Threadshot's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Threadshot does not use Google user data for advertising, creditworthiness, or any purpose unrelated to its user-facing image export function.
Children and international use
Threadshot is a general-purpose browser utility and is not directed to children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone. Users are responsible for following Reddit's terms and the laws that apply when they save or share content.
