DataSnap Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 10, 2026

1. Overview

DataSnap is a browser extension that helps users extract structured information from webpages and export or copy it as CSV or JSON.

DataSnap is designed with a privacy-first approach. Its core extraction and export functionality processes webpage content locally in the user’s browser.

2. Information Processed

When a user invokes DataSnap, the extension may process information from the active webpage, including:

• Tables and their rows and columns
• Lists and repeating content blocks
• Text and other structured information needed to create an extraction preview

The content of a webpage may contain personal, confidential, or sensitive information. DataSnap processes content selected by the user to provide its extraction functionality.

3. How Information Is Used

Information processed by DataSnap is used only to:

• Detect structured content on the active webpage
• Display extracted information for user review
• Allow users to export data as CSV or JSON
• Allow users to copy extracted data to their clipboard
• Complete the user-initiated region-selection workflow

4. Local Processing and Data Sharing

DataSnap’s core functionality is designed to operate locally in the browser.

• DataSnap does not require a DataSnap account or backend service.
• Extracted webpage content is not sent to a DataSnap server.
• DataSnap does not use third-party analytics services in its intended V1 design.
• DataSnap does not sell users’ data or share extracted webpage content with third parties.
• DataSnap does not use extracted content for advertising.

5. Storage and Retention

DataSnap may use browser extension storage for temporary state needed to complete its extraction and region-selection workflows.

DataSnap does not maintain a cloud database of extracted webpage content. Users control where they save exported files and where they paste copied information.

6. Permissions

DataSnap requests the following browser permissions:

• activeTab: To access the active webpage after the user invokes the extension.
• scripting: To run extraction logic on the user-selected webpage.
• storage: To retain temporary extension state required for the extraction workflow.

These permissions support DataSnap’s user-facing extraction and export features.

7. User Control

Users choose when to invoke DataSnap and which extracted information to export or copy. Users should avoid extracting or sharing information unless they are authorized to do so.

8. Children’s Privacy

DataSnap is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not designed specifically for children. It does not knowingly collect children’s personal information through a DataSnap server.

9. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated when DataSnap’s functionality or data practices change. Updates will be published on this page with a revised effective date where appropriate.
