Privacy Policy
In short: ClipMeme does its work entirely inside your browser. Your captures, projects, and exports are never uploaded, and there is no analytics, tracking, or advertising. The only information that ever leaves your device is your Pro license key, sent to our payment provider to unlock and verify ClipMeme Pro.
Who we are
ClipMeme ("we", "the extension") is a Chrome browser extension that turns a snipped region of a web page into a meme, sticker, or animated GIF. This policy explains what data the extension does and does not handle. If you have questions, contact us at wayfarerwondersblog@gmail.com.
What we process on your device
When you snip a region of a page, the extension captures that image (or, over a playing video, a short clip) and opens it in the editor. This media, along with any projects you save and files you export, is:
- stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB and Chrome extension storage;
- processed on your device — cropping, background erasing, text, and GIF encoding all run in the browser;
- never transmitted to us or any third party. Temporary captures are automatically deleted after 24 hours; saved projects remain until you delete them.
We do not run analytics, telemetry, advertising, fingerprinting, or any form of usage tracking, and we do not sell or share any personal information.
The one exception: ClipMeme Pro licensing
ClipMeme Pro is an optional one-time purchase. Payments and licensing are handled by our payment provider, Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record.
- Purchases: when you buy Pro, you complete checkout on Lemon Squeezy's hosted page. We never see or store your card details. Lemon Squeezy collects the information needed to process the sale (such as your name, email, and billing details) under its own privacy policy.
-
Activation & validation: to unlock Pro, the extension sends your
license key and a randomly generated device name (e.g.
clipmeme-a1b2c3) to Lemon Squeezy's license API to activate it, and occasionally re-checks that the key is still valid. No other information — and none of your captured content — is included in these requests. - Where your key is stored: your validated license key is kept in Chrome's extension storage and synced across your signed-in Chrome profile so Pro follows you across your devices. You can remove it at any time from the extension's Settings page.
Permissions we request
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
activeTab | Reads the current tab only while you use ClipMeme, so it can capture the region you select. |
scripting | Injects the capture helper into the page — only after you click the ClipMeme icon. |
storage | Saves your preferences and Pro license key. |
tabs | Opens the editor tab and reads the active tab's title for project names. |
api.lemonsqueezy.com | Host access used solely to activate and validate your Pro license key. |
Data retention & your control
Because your content lives only on your device, you are always in control of it. Delete saved projects individually in the editor, remove your license key from Settings, or uninstall the extension to clear its local data. Temporary captures self-delete after 24 hours.
Children
ClipMeme is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the extension evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date.
