Privacy Policy

For Tagged Photo Exporter

The free version of the Tagged Photo Exporter Chrome extension (The Extension) never sends your Facebook data anywhere. While exporting photos, The Extension saves information about your Facebook session (like your user ID—but never your authorization tokens) to Chrome's local storage. This information is only used when fetching photo data from Facebook.

Due to implementation constraints, the paid "Add timestamps" feature temporarily stores your photos in a private S3 bucket. This bucket is not accessible to the public, and all photos are automatically deleted after 24 hours (using S3 lifecycle rules). This flow is required because the "Save page as..." download flow relies on externally-hosted images. Images without timestamps are already hosted by Facebook, but images with timestamps must be temporarily hosted somewhere else in order for the download to work.

Usage Analytics and Error Tracking

To improve The Extension and provide a better user experience, we use the following tools:

• PostHog Analytics: We collect anonymous usage data to understand how users interact with The Extension. This helps us make informed decisions about feature improvements and user experience enhancements. No personal Facebook data or photos are ever included in this analytics data.
• Sentry Error Tracking: We use Sentry to monitor and fix technical issues that might affect The Extension's performance. This helps us identify and resolve bugs quickly. Error reports are anonymized and never include your Facebook data or photos.

Who we are

My name is Tom Cleveland. I built this extension as a side project to help people more easily access and preserve their Facebook memories.

I will continue referring to myself as "we" and "us" because it sounds fancy.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We collect and process data in the following ways:

• Photo Storage: For users of the paid "Add timestamps" feature, we temporarily store copies of your Facebook photos in a private Amazon S3 bucket to enable timestamp addition. These photos are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
• Usage Analytics: We collect anonymous usage data through PostHog to understand how The Extension is used and improve its features.
• Error Tracking: We collect anonymized error reports through Sentry to identify and fix technical issues.

Beyond these specific cases, The Extension primarily facilitates data exchange between your browser and Facebook, and we do not collect or store your Facebook data.

Who we share your data with

We share data with the following third-party services:

• Amazon Web Services (AWS): If you use the paid "Add timestamps" feature, your photos are temporarily stored in a private S3 bucket and automatically deleted after 24 hours.
• PostHog: Anonymous usage data is shared with PostHog for analytics purposes. This data never includes your Facebook photos or personal information.
• Sentry: Anonymized error reports are shared with Sentry to help us identify and fix technical issues. These reports never contain your Facebook data or photos.

How long we retain your data

For the paid "Add timestamps" feature, modified photos are automatically deleted from our private S3 bucket after 24 hours. Anonymous usage data and error logs are retained for a reasonable period to allow for product improvements and bug fixes.
