Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Screshot is designed to be privacy-friendly. We strive to minimize data collection.

We may collect:

• Usage Data (Non-Personally Identifiable): We may collect anonymous, aggregated data about how the Extension is used, such as features accessed, actions taken (e.g., taking a screenshot, using an editing tool), and general interaction patterns. This data helps us understand how users engage with Screshot and improve its functionality. This data is not linked to your personal identity.
• Device/Browser Information (Non-Personally Identifiable): We may collect general information about your browser type, version, operating system, and screen resolution. This helps us ensure compatibility and optimize performance.
• Feedback and Support Communications: If you voluntarily contact us for support, provide feedback, or communicate with us in any other way, we will collect the information you provide in your communication (e.g., your email address if you email us, and the content of your message).

We explicitly **do not** collect:

• Your browsing history.
• Your personal files on your device.
• Keystrokes, passwords, or data entered into forms on websites (other than what is captured in a screenshot *by your explicit action*).
• The content of your screenshots, unless you explicitly choose to use a future cloud upload feature (which will be governed by its own clear terms and consent).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide, maintain, and improve Screshot’s performance, features, and user experience.
• To identify and fix bugs, crashes, or other technical issues.
• To respond to your support requests, feedback, and inquiries.
• To understand general usage trends and feature popularity (through aggregated, anonymous data) to guide future development.
• To communicate with you about important updates, security notices, or changes to our services or policies (if you have provided us with a way to contact you, e.g., by subscribing to a newsletter or contacting support).

3. Data Storage and Screenshots

Screenshots are processed and stored locally on your device by default. When you capture and edit a screenshot using the Screshot extension:

• The image data remains within your browser and on your local machine.
• Screshot does not automatically upload your screenshots or their content to any external server.
• You have direct control over saving (downloading to your device) or copying your screenshots to your clipboard.
• Future features, such as optional cloud synchronization or sharing, will require your explicit consent and action to upload any data, and will be subject to clear terms regarding data handling for those specific features.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use a limited number of privacy-respecting third-party services to help us operate and improve Screshot. These may include:

• Analytics Tools: We may use analytics services (e.g., a self-hosted instance of Plausible Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data to understand how our Extension and website are used. This data does not identify individual users.
• Email Support Providers: If you contact us via email, your email will be processed by our email service provider.

We carefully vet any third-party services to ensure they align with our privacy principles. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to any third parties for their marketing purposes.

5. Cookies (Website)

The Screshot Chrome Extension itself does not use cookies.

However, if you visit our website (e.g., www.screshot.com), we or our third-party analytics tools may use standard browser cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help improve website performance, remember your preferences (like theme settings), and understand visitor behavior in an aggregated, anonymous way. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. Since Screshot aims to collect minimal to no personally identifiable information through the core extension functionality, these rights primarily apply to information you voluntarily provide (e.g., through support emails or if you opt-in to future services that require an account). These rights may include:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• The right to request deletion of your personal information.
• The right to request that we limit or stop processing your personal information.
• The right to object to our processing of your personal information.

To make any such request, or if you have questions about your rights, please contact us at screshotapp@gmail.com. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.

7. Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously. While no system is 100% secure, we implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect any information we handle.

• Communication with our website (if applicable) is encrypted via HTTPS.
• As stated, your screenshots and captured content primarily stay on your device unless you explicitly choose to share or use a future cloud feature.

8. Children’s Privacy

Screshot is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will endeavor to notify you, for example, by posting a notice on our website or through update notes for the Extension. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
