Privacy Policy

Design Clone Chrome extension · Last updated: August 30, 2026

This policy describes how the Design Clone browser extension (“the Extension,” “we”) handles information. The Extension is free, has no accounts, and has no backend. It is published in connection with github.com/SimonAmable/DesignCloner.

What the Extension does

After you click the toolbar icon or use the inspect shortcut on a page you already have open, Design Clone lets you hover and click a page element. It then copies that element’s HTML and computed CSS to your clipboard as a prompt you can paste into AI coding tools (for example Cursor, Claude, or Lovable). Copying happens only when you take that action.

Data we collect

We do not collect, store on our servers, or receive personally identifiable information, health data, financial data, authentication credentials, personal communications, location, browsing history, or activity logs. We do not run analytics, ads, crash reporting, or account systems in the Extension. We do not sell user data. We do not use data for creditworthiness or lending.

Website content (processed on your device only): when you inspect and click an element, the Extension reads the selected DOM subtree in that tab (markup, computed styles, and related stylesheet snippets needed to rebuild the snapshot). That snapshot is written to your clipboard on your device. It is not uploaded to us, not saved in chrome.storage, and not sent to any server operated by Design Clone.

Permissions

The Extension requests only:

• activeTab — short-lived access to the current tab after you start inspect or copy, so the overlay can run on that page.
• scripting — inject the Extension’s own packaged content script into that tab. No remote scripts are loaded.
• clipboardWrite — write the copied snapshot to the clipboard after you click an element (or choose copy page).

There is no storage permission and no host permission for all websites.

Remote code

The Extension does not execute remote JavaScript or Wasm. All scripts ship inside the Chrome Web Store package.

Third parties

If you paste clipboard contents into another product (an AI coding tool, a chat app, etc.), that product’s privacy policy applies to what you paste. Design Clone does not transmit the snapshot to those products for you.

The Chrome Web Store and Google may process install and listing data under Google’s policies. That is separate from the Extension’s on-device copy behavior.

Children

The Extension is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy when the Extension’s behavior changes. The date at the top will be revised. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
