Privacy Policy

Copy the Link Text, Not the URL

Effective date: August 22, 2026

Summary

Copy the Link Text, Not the URL operates locally in the browser and does not send data to any external server.

Data handling

When you explicitly right-click a link, the extension temporarily processes that link's visible text so it can place the text on your clipboard. Depending on the link, the text may come from its visible text, aria-label, title, or image alt text.

This processing occurs entirely on your device. The extension does not transmit the link text, retain it in persistent storage, or make it available to the developer or any third party. It does not read the existing contents of your clipboard.

The extension does not:

  • collect analytics
  • sell user data
  • share user data with third parties
  • collect or transmit browsing history
  • transmit page content or copied link text
  • read or transmit existing clipboard contents
  • require user accounts

Browser permissions

  • contextMenus adds the right-click menu command.
  • offscreen and clipboardWrite copy the selected link text to the clipboard.

Data storage and third parties

The extension does not maintain persistent user data, create a user profile, or sync data to a remote backend. It does not share data with third parties.

Limited Use

The extension's use of information received from Chrome APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Information is used only to provide the extension's single user-facing purpose: copying the visible text of a link at the user's request.

Changes and contact

If the extension's behavior changes in a way that affects privacy, this policy will be updated before release.
