StockSilo Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 9, 2026

StockSilo is a Chrome extension that organizes stock footage comp downloads
into folders and keeps a local CSV log of each file’s source for licensing
purposes.

The short version

StockSilo does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any data. Everything it
does happens entirely on your computer.

What StockSilo processes, and where it stays

To do its job, StockSilo works with the following information — all of it
locally, on your device only:

• Download details (file names and the addresses of pages you download
  from on stock footage sites), which are written to a log file
  (download_log.csv) inside your own Downloads folder.
• Your settings (project names, tracked-site list, folder name
  preferences), stored in the extension’s local browser storage.
• Links on stock footage site pages: at the moment you download a comp,
  StockSilo may read the address of that clip’s page from the site you are
  viewing, so your log can record the specific clip rather than a generic
  search page. It reads link addresses only — it does not read, modify, or
  store page content.

None of this information ever leaves your computer. StockSilo has no
servers, no analytics, no accounts, and makes no network requests.

Permissions

StockSilo requests access to certain stock footage websites solely to read
clip page links at download time, as described above. When you choose to
track an additional site, Chrome asks for your permission for that specific
site; declining does not affect any other feature.

Data removal

Uninstalling the extension removes all of its stored settings and log data
from your browser. The CSV files and downloaded footage in your Downloads
folder are ordinary files that you control and can delete at any time.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address.
