Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

The Short Version

We collect nothing. We store nothing. We track nothing.

Gazo processes all images entirely on your device using WebAssembly. No data ever leaves your browser.

Data Collection

Gazo does not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:

  • Personal information
  • Browsing history
  • Images you view, edit, or download
  • Colors you pick
  • Screenshots you capture
  • QR codes you generate or read
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Crash reports

Local Storage

Gazo uses browser storage APIs (chrome.storage) to save:

  • Settings (theme, default format, preferences) -- synced via your browser account
  • Color favorites -- synced via your browser account
  • Session state (view mode, picked colors) -- cleared when browser closes

This data is stored by your browser, not by us. We have no access to it.

Network Requests

Gazo makes zero network requests. All processing runs locally in your browser. The extension does not:

  • Phone home to any server
  • Load remote scripts or resources
  • Send analytics pings
  • Check for updates (browser handles this)
  • Inject ads, affiliate links, or tracking pixels

Permissions

Gazo requests the minimum permissions needed:

  • activeTab -- access current tab only when you click the extension
  • scripting -- inject content script for image detection
  • contextMenus -- right-click menu items
  • downloads -- save converted/exported files
  • storage -- save your settings locally
  • sidePanel -- side panel UI
  • clipboardWrite -- copy images/colors to clipboard

Open Source

Gazo is fully open source. You can audit every line of code at github.com/oriclabs/gazo.
