Privacy Policy — Bulk Image Downloader

Effective Date: October 30, 2026

1. Overview

Bulk Image Downloader (“the Extension”) is a browser extension that allows users to discover, filter, preview, convert, and download images from web pages they visit. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

2. Zero Personal Data Collection

The Extension operates 100% locally within your browser:

• We do not collect, store, log, sell, or transmit any personal information, browsing history, IP addresses, or downloaded content to any external server.
• We do not use any third-party analytics, tracking scripts, or advertising SDKs.

3. How Permissions Are Used Locally

• downloads: Used solely to save user-selected images and locally generated ZIP archives to your device’s Downloads folder.
• storage: Used solely to store your local extension preferences (theme mode, filter thresholds, folder naming templates, and keyboard shortcuts) inside chrome.storage.local.
• tabs & scripting: Used only when triggered by you to inspect the active tab and extract image elements (<img>, srcset, CSS backgrounds, inline <svg>, and Shadow DOM images).
• contextMenus: Used to provide right-click menu shortcuts for extracting images.
• declarativeNetRequest & host_permissions (*://*/*): Used locally during image extraction and downloading to attach the origin page Referer header via temporary browser session rules and to fetch image bytes for client-side format conversion (WebP/AVIF to JPG/PNG) and ZIP archiving.

4. Optional External Navigation

When you explicitly click the “Google Lens” button inside the Lightbox preview, the Extension opens https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl in a new tab with the selected public image URL. No other external requests are made.

5. Contact

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact the developer through the support section on the Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Add-ons listing page.
