Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026 · Atomizer v1.0

Short version: Atomizer does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. Everything stays on your device. The optional AI feature sends data to Google's on-device model only with your explicit consent.

What is Atomizer?

Atomizer is a Chrome extension that lets you click any element on a webpage and extract it as a clean, portable HTML/CSS snippet or Tailwind component. It operates entirely locally in your browser.

What data does Atomizer collect?

Atomizer captures the HTML and computed CSS of whichever element you explicitly select by clicking the "Select Element" button. No data is collected passively or without your action.

  • Captured element HTML & CSS — the content of the element you click.
  • Capture timestamp — stored alongside the snapshot for display purposes only.

Atomizer does not collect:

  • Browsing history or visited URLs
  • Keystrokes, form input, or passwords
  • Personal information of any kind
  • Analytics, usage telemetry, or crash reports
  • Any data from pages you visit but do not interact with via the extension

Where is captured data stored?

Captured element data is stored in chrome.storage.session, which is local to your browser and is automatically cleared when your browser session ends. It is never written to a server, cloud service, or any external destination.

The data is only accessible within the Atomizer extension itself — it is not shared with the page you captured from, other extensions, or any third party.

AI Clean feature

Atomizer includes an optional AI Clean feature (shown only in supported browsers). When you click this button:

  • You will be shown a consent prompt the first time you use the feature. You must explicitly click OK to proceed.
  • Your captured HTML and CSS are passed to Google's built-in AI API (window.ai), which is an on-device model provided by Chrome. Processing happens locally on your machine.
  • Atomizer does not transmit your data to any Atomizer-controlled server as part of this feature. Use of the AI API is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
  • You can decline the consent prompt and the feature will not be used.

Permissions used

  • activeTab — to read the currently active tab's URL and inject the element picker when you click "Select Element".
  • scripting — to inject the content script that highlights elements on the page when you activate selection mode.
  • storage — to temporarily hold the last captured element within chrome.storage.session so the side panel can display it.
  • sidePanel — to open the Atomizer side panel.
  • http://*/* , https://*/* (host permissions) — required so the content script can run on regular web pages. The extension does not run on chrome://, file://, or other restricted URLs.

Data retention

Because Atomizer uses chrome.storage.session, all captured data is automatically deleted when your browser session ends. Nothing persists across browser restarts. You can also clear the current capture at any time by clicking the ✕ button in the side panel.

Third-party services

Atomizer does not integrate with any analytics platforms, advertising networks, or third-party tracking services. The only third-party component is the optional Google AI API described above, which is only invoked with your consent.

Children's privacy

Atomizer does not knowingly collect any information from anyone under the age of 13. The extension collects no personal data from any user of any age.

Changes to this policy

If this privacy policy changes materially, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the extension after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
