EditCopy

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 16, 2026

Overview

EditCopy is a browser extension and bookmarklet that lets you edit text on web pages and export structured changelogs for AI coding tools. Your privacy is simple: we don't collect, store, or transmit any data.

Data collection

EditCopy does not collect any personal information or browsing data. Specifically:

  • No analytics or tracking scripts
  • No cookies
  • No user accounts or authentication
  • No data sent to any server

How EditCopy works

When activated, EditCopy injects a content script into the current browser tab. This script:

  • Runs entirely in your browser — no external network requests are made
  • Reads text content of the page you're editing so you can modify it
  • Stores your edits in memory only for the duration of the session
  • Copies output to your clipboard when you choose to export

All edits are lost when you close the tab or deactivate the extension. Nothing is persisted to disk or sent elsewhere.

Permissions

The Chrome extension requests the following permissions:

  • activeTab — Allows EditCopy to access the page you're currently viewing, only when you click the extension icon. No background access to other tabs.
  • scripting — Allows EditCopy to inject the editing script into the active tab so you can click and edit text.

Third parties

EditCopy does not share data with any third parties because it does not collect any data. There are no ads, no analytics services, and no external dependencies at runtime.

Open source

EditCopy is fully open source. You can inspect the entire codebase at github.com/coreyrab/editcopy.
