DM2Text is a browser extension for copying structured context from Instagram Direct conversations. Conversation content is processed locally in your browser.

Data handled

When you start a Copy context session, DM2Text may temporarily process information visible in the Instagram Direct interface, including:

  • message text
  • sender names or usernames
  • visible timestamps
  • reply context
  • media labels
  • shared-post information or captions when visible

Use

This information is used only to generate the transcript you requested.

Local processing

DM2Text processes conversation content locally in your browser. It does not transmit conversation content to the developer or to external servers.

DM2Text does not initiate network requests for the purpose of collecting, storing, analyzing, or transmitting your conversation data.

Storage

Conversation data is not persistently stored by DM2Text.

It exists temporarily in page memory while a copy session is active and is discarded after the operation completes.

The requested transcript is written to your operating-system clipboard. Clipboard contents may remain available to the operating system and other applications until you replace or clear them.

Sharing

DM2Text does not sell, rent, share, or transfer user data to third parties.

Analytics

DM2Text does not use analytics, advertising trackers, telemetry, or behavioral profiling.

Authentication

DM2Text does not collect or access Instagram passwords, authentication credentials, or authentication tokens.

Permissions

DM2Text requests access to Instagram pages so it can identify and process the conversation content required for the Copy context feature.

The clipboardWrite permission is used only to place the transcript you requested onto the clipboard.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

DM2Text's use of user data complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. User data is used only to provide DM2Text's disclosed single purpose.

Changes

If DM2Text's data-handling practices change, this policy will be updated before those changes are released.
