Clone — Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Overview

Clone is a Chrome extension that extracts web page context into AI-optimized Markdown files. All extraction happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to external servers during the extraction process.

Data Collection

Clone collects minimal data:

• Page content: Only when you click "Extract" or press Ctrl+Shift+S. The extension reads the current page DOM to extract tech stack, design tokens, structure, and content.
• Usage data: Stored locally via chrome.storage.local for Pro license activation and waitlist tracking. This data never leaves your device.
• Pro status: If you upgrade, your license key is stored locally.

Waitlist (Pro Tier)

If you join the Pro waitlist:

• Your email address is sent to Formspree (formspree.io) for collection.
• Formspree's privacy policy applies: formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy
• We use this email only to notify you when Pro is available. No marketing emails.
• You can request deletion by contacting us.

What Clone Does NOT Do

• No analytics or tracking
• No cookies
• No data sent during extraction (100% local processing)
• No access to tabs you have not explicitly activated
• No selling or sharing of personal data

Developer Tool
