Image Trail by True Line AI LLC
Privacy Policy
Last reviewed:
Image Trail is a browser extension, published by True Line AI LLC, for inspecting image URL patterns, navigating related images, and keeping optional local pins, encrypted captures, and encrypted backups. It works only when you invoke it. This page explains what data it handles and why.
Data handling summary
- Image Trail runs on a page only after you invoke the extension action or a configured extension shortcut.
- Session Recents use browser-managed session storage. They are not restored after the browser session ends.
- Pins, bookmark metadata, settings, and encryption state are stored in extension-owned browser storage on your device. Captured original image bytes are stored separately in the encrypted original store.
- When protection is enabled, captured originals, thumbnails, and protected bookmark metadata are encrypted locally before durable storage or export.
- Optional provider connections send only the OAuth traffic you request and encrypted backup objects to the provider you selected.
- Image Trail does not sell data, use it for advertising or credit decisions, expose it for routine human review, or execute remotely hosted code.
Data categories
| Category | Data handled | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Website content | Image and page URLs you select, fetched image or linked-page bytes, titles, dimensions, and derived URL fields | Inspect, navigate, preview, pin, or capture the image you chose |
| Web history / browsing activity | URLs from pages and images where you explicitly invoke Image Trail | Preserve the active trail and the durable records you request |
| User-generated content | Labels, albums, settings, review status, and imported metadata | Organize your local gallery and backups |
| Authentication information | Optional provider OAuth tokens and connection state | Connect only the provider you chose |
Retention and deletion
Data is kept until you clear the relevant Recents, pin or bookmark, captured original, provider connection, or all extension storage. Removing the extension also removes its browser-managed storage. Files you exported and objects you uploaded to a provider stay under your control until you delete them.
Site access
- Image Trail does not receive persistent access to every site at installation. It has no required host permissions and registers no static content scripts.
- Capturing an encrypted original from another image host may ask for access to that one exact image origin. Approval persists under the browser's site-access controls until you remove it. Denying it leaves the URL intact and produces a retryable error.
- Connecting pCloud asks separately for access to pCloud hosts. The request is limited to pCloud because its API chooses regional API hosts and dynamic download subdomains. Denying it does not open sign-in or store a token.
- All executable JavaScript ships inside the extension package. There is no remotely hosted script and no eval-based code loader.
Permissions
- activeTab
- Temporary access to the current page after an explicit extension gesture.
- scripting
- Inject the Image Trail panel into that active page.
- storage
- Extension-owned settings and the pCloud connection record.
- downloads
- Export images and encrypted artifacts through browser downloads.
- identity
- Run the pCloud or Google Drive sign-in flow you select.
- declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess
- Apply short-lived pCloud request-header rules, only after pCloud host access is granted.
Optional cloud providers
- A pCloud connection begins only from the Connect pCloud action.
- A Google Drive connection, when enabled in a release, uses the least-privilege drive.file scope, so the extension can access only files it created or that you explicitly selected.
- Provider uploads contain password-encrypted backups or encrypted objects, not a plaintext copy of your library.
