Overview
PinSave is a Chrome extension that helps you download Pinterest images and board images for personal reference and inspiration. We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, and we have built PinSave with that principle at its core.
This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All settings and preferences are stored locally in your browser.
Data Collection
PinSave collects absolutely zero data. We do not:
- Collect your browsing history
- Track your mouse movements or clicks
- Store any personal information
- Use analytics or telemetry
- Make any external network requests
- Use cookies or similar tracking technologies
The extension runs entirely locally on your device. No data ever leaves your browser.
Data Storage
PinSave uses Chrome's built-in storage API to save your preferences locally. This includes:
- Your preferred filename format
- Download quality preferences
- Whether the extension is enabled or disabled
All data is stored locally on your device. It is never synced to the cloud, sent to any server, or accessed by anyone else.
Permissions
PinSave requests only the minimal permissions needed to function:
-
storage — Used exclusively to save your preferences locally.
-
host_permissions (pinterest.com) — Required to detect images on Pinterest pages. This permission is used only to provide the download functionality and does not collect any data.
We do not request any unnecessary permissions like tabs, webRequest, or cookies.
Third-Party Services
PinSave does not use any third-party services, libraries, or APIs that could collect your data. The extension is completely self-contained and makes no external requests.
No third-party dependencies
