Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 1, 2026

1. 100% On-Device & Client-Side Operation

Decant is built with a strict privacy-first architecture. All DOM extraction, article parsing (via Mozilla Readability), and Markdown conversion happen 100% locally inside your browser context.

2. Zero Data Collection & Zero Telemetry

Decant does NOT collect, store, transmit, or monetize any user data, browsing history, clipped articles, or settings. There are no tracking scripts, telemetry endpoints, or analytics services embedded in the extension.

3. Permissions Overview

Decant requests minimal required WebExtension permissions strictly to perform its core clipping functions:

  • activeTab / scripting: Used exclusively to extract article content when you trigger a clip action.
  • storage: Used to save your local extension preferences (frontmatter template, Markdown format options).
  • downloads: Used to save .md files directly to your device.

4. Open Source Transparency

Decant is 100% open source under the AGPL-3.0 License. The full source code is publicly auditable at https://github.com/Rat-S/decant.
