360io ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the 360io Desk Chrome Extension ("Extension") collects, uses, stores, and protects your information.
By installing or using the Extension, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. About the Extension
The 360io Desk Chrome Extension is a free productivity workspace that provides:
Text snippet expansion and templates
Notes
Screenshots (visible tab capture)
PDF viewing and editing
Content viewer
Portal preview
Google Drive integration (optional)
Appearance customization
Two-step verification
2. Information We Collect
A. Google Sign-In
The Extension requires authentication using Google Sign-In. When you log in, we receive:
Full name
Email address
Google account unique identifier (User ID)
Account type indicator (personal Gmail or Google Workspace domain)
We do not access your Gmail messages, contacts, calendar, or any email content. Authentication is handled securely using Google OAuth standards.
B. Account Registration
Upon first sign-in, your name, email address, and account identifier are transmitted to and stored on 360io servers (api.360io.com) to create your account, enable extension functionality, and prevent abuse.
C. Content You Create (Stored Locally)
The Extension stores the following data locally on your device using chrome.storage.local and IndexedDB:
Text snippets and templates
Notes
Screenshots
PDF files you open or edit
User preferences and appearance settings
This data remains on your device and is never sent to 360io servers unless you explicitly choose to export or save to Google Drive.
D. Google Drive Integration (Optional)
If you choose to connect Google Drive, the Extension uses the drive.file OAuth scope to:
Save PDFs and screenshots to a designated folder in your Google Drive
Load files you previously saved through the Extension
The Extension can only access files it creates or that you explicitly open through it. It cannot browse, read, or modify any other files in your Drive. You can disconnect Google Drive at any time.
E. Screenshots
The Extension captures a screenshot of the visible browser tab only when you explicitly click the capture button. Screenshots are:
Stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB)
Optionally saved to Google Drive if connected
Never sent to 360io servers
F. PDF Editor
PDF files are processed entirely within your browser (client-side). Files are:
Stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB)
Optionally saved to Google Drive if connected
Never uploaded to 360io servers
3. Content Scripts
The Extension injects the following scripts into web pages to enable core functionality:
Snippet Expander โ Runs on all websites to detect when you type a snippet shortcode in a text field, then replaces it with your saved template. This script does not collect, store, or transmit any page content, browsing history, or personal data.
Media Detector โ Runs on supported platforms (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X/Twitter) to detect media content for the content viewer feature. This script does not collect or transmit any personal data or browsing history.
4. How We Use Your Information

5. Data Storage and Security
