Privacy policy for GIF Editor

Open the clip you have, then this gif editor lets you crop gif edges, trim gif frames and add a caption, then export the copy.

Files and editing data

Choosing, dropping or pasting a GIF gives the extension access to that selected file. The workspace reads its bytes, dimensions, frame timing and file name to prepare previews and exports. Caption text, crop coordinates, frame selections and other edits are held in the workspace session. Export creates a GIF or ZIP download; the browser and your download settings determine where the file is saved.

Opening another file, reloading or closing the workspace ends that editing session. Saved exports remain until you delete them. Batch export reads the files selected together and reports the result for each file.

Extension storage

The extension uses Chrome's storage.local API for the gifEditorRatePrompt record. It contains display timestamps and, when applicable, a dismissal timestamp or the selected destination type, feedback or reviews. This record controls whether the rating prompt is shown.

After two successful exports in a workspace session, the rating prompt may appear when the stored record contains no earlier display. A previous display, dismissal or answer suppresses it while that record remains available. Clearing extension storage or removing the extension deletes the record.

Installation measurement

The packaged welcome page opens after installation and requests one 1x1 image from Yandex Metrica at mc.yandex.ru, using counter 41115469. The request identifies this product's welcome page and is used to count installations. Yandex receives connection information such as your IP address, the request time and browser-supplied HTTP metadata. Depending on your browser settings and Yandex's response, cookies for that domain may also be sent or stored.

The image request is made when the welcome page loads, including when you open that page again. Closing the page after loading does not retract the request. Yandex processes the request under its service settings and policies; provider-side retention is separate from Chrome's extension storage.

Feedback, ratings and other pages

The toolbar action opens or focuses the editing workspace. Installation opens the welcome page. The Feedback control opens the configured Google Form, and Chrome may open a separate Google Form after removal. These form addresses include a fixed language parameter. Google receives the navigation and any form information you submit; the extension owner receives your submitted answers.

The rating prompt offers five stars. Selecting one, two or three opens the feedback form; selecting four or five opens the extension's Chrome Web Store reviews page when the store identifier has been configured. Until that identifier is available, the prompt reports that the store page is not live. The destination receives the navigation under its own privacy practices.

Retention and data requests

Editing session data, the extension's rating record, downloaded exports and information submitted to external services have different retention periods. Session data is discarded when that session ends. The rating record remains until extension storage is cleared or the extension is removed. You control deletion of downloaded exports. For feedback submissions or installation measurement data, contact the extension owner through the form below and identify the request without including sensitive file contents.

Applicable data protection rights depend on your location and the processing involved. Requests concerning a provider's own account or browser data may also need to be directed to that provider.

Software and permissions

The extension package contains the GIF decoder, encoder, ZIP library and caption font used by the editor. Its declared extension permission is storage. The Content Security Policy restricts scripts to the extension package and permits the welcome image host described above.

Children

GIF Editor is intended for users 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Limited Use

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Contact

For privacy questions and data requests, contact the extension owner through the privacy feedback form. This form is hosted by Google.
