Privacy Policy

• No accounts — using the free tier requires no signup, email, or login.
• No telemetry — we do not collect usage analytics, crash reports, or behavioral data.
• No cloud storage — all scraped images and metadata are stored locally via chrome.storage.local.
• On-device AI — auto-tagging runs in your browser via WebGPU. No data is sent to a model API.
• Payments — handled entirely by ExtensionPay (Stripe-backed). We never see your card details.

When you click "Scrape this tab," SmartScrape AI extracts image URLs and surrounding metadata from the active page and saves the following on your device only:

• Image source URLs and any srcset / picture variants
• Alt text and OpenGraph tags
• Page URL, title, site host, and favicon
• Image dimensions and file format
• AI-generated tags (subject, color, mood) computed locally
• Your filter preferences and Pro plan flag

You can wipe everything at any time with the "Clear all" button in the side panel.

• Personally identifiable information (name, email, address)
• Browsing history outside of pages you explicitly scrape
• Form inputs, passwords, or authentication tokens
• Location data
• Health, financial, or government ID information
• The contents of pages you do not actively scrape

Chrome requires the extension to declare every API it uses. Each permission has a single purpose:

• sidePanel — render the persistent gallery UI.
• storage — save your library locally.
• scripting + activeTab — inject the scraper into the current tab when you press the button.
• tabs — read the active tab's URL/title for auto-sorting.
• downloads — let you download an asset with one click.
• offscreen — host the WebGPU model and OffscreenCanvas conversions.
• contextMenus — power the right-click "Save image" action.
• identity — used by ExtensionPay to identify Pro subscribers (Pro tier only).
• host_permissions <all_urls> — required because you choose which sites to scrape; we do not run code on a tab until you initiate a scrape there.

Auto-tagging runs in an offscreen document via WebGPU on your local hardware. Image data is processed in-memory and discarded after tags are produced. No image, embedding, or tag is ever transmitted to a third-party model provider.

The Pro tier ($8/month) is processed by ExtensionPay, which uses Stripe under the hood. When you upgrade:

• ExtensionPay issues an anonymous user ID stored in chrome.storage.
• Your card details are entered on ExtensionPay/Stripe's hosted page — SmartScrape AI never sees them.
• The extension only checks your subscription status (true/false) when you open the side panel.

Refer to ExtensionPay's privacy policy and Stripe's privacy policy for how they handle payment data.

One-click sync to Notion, Figma, and Google Drive is opt-in. When you connect one of these services, you authorize SmartScrape AI through that provider's official OAuth flow. Tokens are stored locally in chrome.storage and are only used to upload assets you explicitly send. We do not read from or list your existing files in those services.

We do not sell, rent, or transfer your data to anyone. The only outbound network requests the extension makes are:

• Image fetches from the sites you scrape (handled by your browser as normal)
• ExtensionPay subscription checks (Pro only)
• OAuth and upload calls to Notion / Figma / Drive (only if you connect them)

SmartScrape AI is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.

If we materially change how the extension handles data, we will update this page and bump the "Last updated" date. Substantive changes will also be noted in the extension's release notes.
