This Privacy Policy describes how the EPUB Manager (dala) browser extension collects, uses, and discloses information, and what choices you have with respect to the information.
We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to any external servers.
The extension functions strictly as a local bridge between your browser and a Python script running on your own computer (localhost).
- URLs and Content: When you click "Download Page" or "Download Bundle," the extension sends the URL and HTML content of the active tab to your local server at
http://127.0.0.1:8000. - Cookies: If you enable the "Include Cookies" option, the extension accesses cookies only for the specific site you are downloading. These cookies are sent only to your local server to allow it to fetch content you have access to (e.g., paywalled articles, forum attachments).
- Authentication: We do not track, store, or view your passwords or login credentials.
- Extension Storage: The extension uses your browser's local storage (
browser.storage.local) to save your preferences (e.g., "No Images", "Download Folder") and the current download queue. This data never leaves your browser. - Generated Files: The EPUB files generated by the local server are saved to your computer's temporary directory or the specific download folder you configure.
This extension does not use any third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising services.
The extension communicates exclusively with:
- Your Local Machine:
http://127.0.0.1:8000(The Python backend). - The Websites You Visit: To fetch images or content required for the EPUB generation (only when initiated by you).
If you have questions about this policy, please contact the developer via the GitHub repository issue tracker.
