Privacy Policy
AliGrab — Download AliExpress Images & Videos — Last updated: May 7, 2026
Overview
AliGrab is designed with privacy as a core principle. All image downloading and processing happens entirely within your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any user data to external servers. The extension only activates on AliExpress product pages and has no access to any other websites.
Data We Collect
AliGrab collects no user data. The only network communication the extension initiates is:
- License Key Validation (Pro users only): When you enter a license key to activate Pro features, the extension sends only the key hash to
license.extpilot.comto verify validity. No personal data, browsing history, or usage data is included in this request. - Image Downloads: Images and videos are downloaded directly from AliExpress CDN (alicdn.com) to your browser. This is the same network request your browser makes when viewing the product page normally.
Data We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect your browsing history or browsing activity.
- We do not track which products you view or download images from.
- We do not collect any personally identifiable information.
- We do not use any analytics or tracking services within the extension.
- We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties.
- We do not store downloaded images on any server — they go directly to your device.
Data Storage
All data generated by the extension is stored locally on your device:
- chrome.storage.local for extension settings, preferences, and license key.
- Browser download folder for downloaded ZIP files containing images and videos.
No data is synced to the cloud. You can clear all extension data by removing the extension or clearing extension data in your browser settings.
How Image Processing Works
AliGrab processes images entirely within your browser:
- Images are fetched directly from AliExpress CDN (alicdn.com) — the same servers that serve images when you browse AliExpress normally.
- Format conversion (WebP to JPG, PNG generation) happens in-browser using the Canvas API.
- ZIP packaging is performed locally using JSZip — no server involved.
- Metadata removal is done client-side before packaging.
License Verification
When you enter a Pro license key, the extension sends a request to license.extpilot.com containing:
- Your license key (hashed)
- A machine identifier (to enforce device limits per your plan)
No browsing data, download history, product information, or other personal information is included in this request.
Third-Party Services
- Stripe is used to process payments for Pro licenses. Payment information is handled entirely by Stripe and is never stored on our servers. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
Permissions
AliGrab requests only the minimum permissions necessary:
- Host permissions (aliexpress.com, alicdn.com): To detect images on AliExpress product pages and download them from AliExpress CDN. The extension cannot access any other websites.
- Downloads: To save ZIP files to your computer.
- Storage: To save your settings and license key locally.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
