# Hen Screenshots plugin privacy policy

Effective September 30, 2026. Publisher: Hensell. Contact: [hensell@hensell.dev](mailto:hensell@hensell.dev).

## Data processed and purpose

The local renderer reads the images, captions, design configuration, brand kit, and project archive you explicitly provide, plus their file paths and image metadata needed to decode and compose them. Captures and captions may contain personal information if you include it. This data is used only to create the requested screenshot series, previews, exports, and editable projects. Use sample or sanitized captures; do not include credentials, government identifiers, payment-card details, or protected health information.

Folder input scans only that folder's PNG/JPEG/WebP files, without recursion. Original input files are not modified. Hen does not collect accounts, contact lists, analytics, or usage profiles through this plugin.

## Recipients and network access

The renderer does not send network requests or upload your captures, captions, or projects to Hen or other recipients. There is no Hen server processing or retaining plugin inputs. Setup downloads software from npm and native-library distribution hosts; those services receive the network information needed to deliver software under their own policies. Setup does not upload your captures or projects.

Your AI agent is a separate service. Text and images you share with it are governed by that provider's settings, retention rules, and privacy policy. Local rendering does not imply the entire AI conversation stays on your computer. The renderer does not manage or delete information held by your agent provider.

## Retention and user controls

Rendering processes inputs locally during the command. Input files remain where you placed them. Output files, previews, PNG ZIPs, and editable projects remain in your chosen output folder until you delete them; the plugin has no automatic expiration or remote retention. Editable projects embed original captures and captions. Hen retains no copy of these files through the plugin.

You control which files are provided and where results are saved. To remove local retained content, delete the corresponding input files, output folders, ZIPs, and editable projects using your operating system. Existing originals and outputs are not silently overwritten. To remove data from your AI provider, use that provider's account and conversation controls. Uninstalling the plugin does not delete your own captures or exported projects.

## Sharing and contact

The plugin does not publish store listings, send mail, or submit itself to directories. Sharing generated files is a separate action you authorize. Share projects and ZIPs only with the intended recipients.

For questions about this plugin's privacy practices, contact [hensell@hensell.dev](mailto:hensell@hensell.dev). This policy covers the local Hen Screenshots plugin; separate website and AI-provider policies apply when you use those services.
