Download Webpage as PDFPrivacy Policy
Last Updated: November 11, 2026.
This Privacy Policy explains how the Download Webpage as PDF extension for Google Chrome (“the extension”) handles information. The extension is made by Never Zero Lab (“we”, “us”, “our”).
In short
- The extension saves the tab you choose as a PDF. The PDF is made by Chrome on your computer. The extension does not upload the page to us or to anyone else to convert it.
- It has no account, no advertising and no analytics, and it does not track the websites you visit.
- It stores only your print settings and language choice, plus short-lived details of the current job while your browser is open.
- Chrome shows a warning about the “debugger” permission. The extension uses it only to print the tab you chose, after you press Download PDF.
- The page that opens after you remove the extension has a feedback form. Right now that form is switched off and sends nothing; see “This website” below.
How a PDF is made
When you press Download PDF, the extension asks Chrome to print the current tab to a PDF with Chrome’s own print engine (the Chrome DevTools Protocol command Page.printToPDF). This happens on your computer. Chrome gives the PDF to the extension, and the extension hands it straight to Chrome’s downloads, which saves it to your downloads folder or to the place you pick. The extension does not keep a copy and does not send the PDF or the page anywhere.
To make the PDF, the extension and Chrome necessarily process the tab on your computer: the extension reads the tab’s title and address, and, after you press the button, runs a short script in the page that asks pictures and frames which load only when you scroll to load now (for at most 8 seconds), then puts the page back as it was. Chrome then prints the page and passes the PDF bytes to the extension, which passes them on to Chrome’s downloads. None of this is sent to us or to any other server by the extension: there is no off-device conversion and no upload. The extension does not analyse the text of the page, keeps no statistics about it and keeps no copy of the PDF in its storage. Like any web page, the site you are viewing may load pictures from its own servers while this happens; that is the site working as usual.
Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
activeTab | To work with the tab you are on when you open the extension: its title (for the file name) and its address (to tell you if Chrome does not allow saving that page). |
debugger | To ask Chrome to print that one tab to a PDF. It is attached only to the tab you chose, only after you press the button, and detached when the job ends. Chrome cannot offer this permission as optional, so it warns about it at install (“Access the page debugger backend”), and while a PDF is being made it shows a bar saying the extension started debugging the browser. |
downloads | To save the PDF as a file, and to ask where to save it if you turned that on. |
storage | To remember your settings and the state of the current job (below). |
The extension does not ask for access to all websites, does not read your browsing history and does not run scripts on pages in the background: it touches only the tab you chose, and only after you press the button.
What the extension stores
| Data | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Print settings (paper, orientation, margins, background, date/title/page numbers, ask where to save) and the window language you chose | Chrome sync storage (chrome.storage.sync) | To remember your choices. If Chrome sync is on, Chrome copies them to your other computers through your Google account; we cannot see them. |
| The state of the current job: its status, the suggested file name (made from the page title), a random job marker, and the download it belongs to | Chrome session storage (chrome.storage.session), kept in memory only | So the extension can finish or cancel the job correctly even if Chrome restarts its background script. It is cleared when you close the browser. |
Removing the extension deletes what the extension itself stored (the settings and job details above). It does not delete PDF files you already saved, which are ordinary files on your computer, or entries in Chrome’s download history; delete those yourself if you want. It also does not delete anything you may have sent through the feedback form described below.
What we never do
- The extension does not send us the pages you save, the PDFs, your file names or your browsing history.
- We do not sell, rent or share information, and we do not use or transfer it for advertising, for purposes unrelated to the extension’s single purpose, or to determine creditworthiness or for lending.
- We do not use remote code: all of the extension’s executable code is packaged with the extension; it loads no code from the internet.
Rating in the extension window
The window has rating stars. Choosing 4 or 5 stars opens the extension’s reviews page in the Chrome Web Store, where Google’s own terms apply. Choosing 1 to 3 stars only shows a thank-you message. Nothing is sent to us.
This website
The pages of download-webpage-as-pdf.extensions-neverzerolab.com, including the page that opens once after you install the extension, use no cookies and no advertising. They pick their language from the address (for example /welcome/de/) or from your browser’s language settings. The address you open reaches the web host like any web request, but the pages send no separate record of your language choice.
When you remove the extension, Chrome opens a page of this website that asks why (/uninstall/). At the moment the form on that page is switched off: it shows a notice that it cannot send answers, and nothing you choose there is sent. If we switch it on later, answering will stay optional, and before that we will update this policy to say exactly what is kept, where and for how long. Comments are free text and could identify you, so please do not write personal information in them.
This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data of each request (such as your IP address) to deliver and protect the pages. The pages contain no analytics, tracking or advertising code of their own. The Cloudflare account that hosts them has Cloudflare Web Analytics automatic setup switched on, which can insert a Cloudflare script into pages; this website’s Content Security Policy does not allow that script to load, so it cannot collect visit statistics here. If we ever add visitor statistics to these pages, we will update this policy first. The separate Never Zero Lab catalog website (extensions-neverzerolab.com) has its own notice about the analytics it uses; it is not part of the extension or of this website.
Children
The extension is not directed at children under the age of 13. As described above, it processes the content, title and address of the selected tab locally to create a PDF, including any personal information that the page contains. The extension does not upload that page content or the PDF. Print preferences may sync through Chrome, and temporary job details stay in Chrome session storage as described under “What the extension stores”. We do not knowingly request personal information from children through this website; its feedback form is currently switched off.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
If the extension’s data practices change, we will update this page and the date above before the new version is published in the Chrome Web Store.
Questions
There is no contact address on this page yet. It will be added here before the extension is published in the Chrome Web Store.
