Copy as Markdown converts the text you select on a web page into Markdown and writes the result to your clipboard when you explicitly trigger the extension—by keyboard shortcut or browser command.
What the extension does
When you run the copy action, the extension reads only your current text selection from the active page, converts it to Markdown on your device, and writes that Markdown to the system clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere.
What we collect
We do not operate servers that receive your page content, selections, or clipboard data.
The extension stores settings only in browser extension storage (storage.sync when available, otherwise storage.local): conversion profile, optional image/link/source-note preferences, shortcut mode, and keyboard shortcut configuration. These preferences may sync across your signed-in Chrome browsers through Google's extension storage sync. We do not receive or control that sync data.
The extension does not collect personally identifiable information, health or financial data, authentication credentials, personal communications, location, web history, or general browsing activity (such as clicks, scroll position, or keystroke logging).
Website content
The extension accesses website content only when you trigger a copy and only for the portion you selected. That content is processed locally in your browser to produce Markdown. It is not uploaded to us, not stored by the extension after conversion, and not sold or shared with third parties.
Third parties
We do not sell or transfer user data to third parties. We do not use user data for unrelated purposes or for creditworthiness or lending decisions.
