Privacy policy

Short version: the extension collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no account.

What is processed

When you capture an area or an image, the pixels are read into memory inside your browser and passed to a recognition model that ships inside the extension package. The recognized text is shown to you and, if you asked for it, put on your clipboard. Nothing is transmitted off your device at any point in that flow.

What is stored

Two preferences (table mode on/off, auto-copy on/off) in chrome.storage.local, and any language packs you choose to download, in the browser's private storage for this extension. Both stay on your machine and are removed when you uninstall.

Network requests

The extension makes exactly one kind of network request of its own, and only when you press Download on a language pack: fetching that model file from its public host. There is no telemetry, no analytics and no error reporting.

Once, right after installation, it opens a welcome page on this site in a new tab. That is an ordinary page visit — this site's server sees it the same way it sees any visitor, and nothing about you or your browsing is sent by the extension. You can close the tab; nothing is recorded against your installation.

Permissions

activeTab and scripting let it read the tab you explicitly capture from; offscreen hosts the model; downloads saves the .xlsx you asked for; storage keeps the two preferences; contextMenus adds the right-click entries; clipboardWrite copies the result. There are no host permissions, so the extension cannot read pages in the background.
