Privacy policy

Last updated: May 2026

Stashshot is designed to be private by default. Screenshots never leave your browser unless you explicitly download them. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.

What we collect

We collect anonymous usage events via Mixpanel to understand how people use Stashshot. These events contain no personal information and cannot be traced back to you.

There are two separate integrations:

Chrome extension — events sent directly to Mixpanel's EU API endpoint (api-eu.mixpanel.com). Each device is assigned a random anonymous UUID stored in chrome.storage.local. This ID is not linked to any personal information.

What we never collect

Your screenshots — they never leave your browser

The URLs or content of pages you capture

Your name, email, or any personal information

Your IP address or precise location

Any content from your clipboard or browser tabs

How your screenshots are stored

Screenshots are held in chrome.storage.session — browser memory that is wiped when your browser session ends. Nothing is written to disk unless you explicitly click “Download as ZIP.” We have no access to this data at any point.

Third-party services

We use Mixpanel for anonymous analytics. Event data from the Chrome extension is sent to Mixpanel’s EU-hosted servers (api-eu.mixpanel.com) and processed within the European Union. No personal data is sent to Mixpanel.
