Privacy Policy for Local Screenshot Master Pro
Prominent disclosure: when you explicitly start a capture, Local Screenshot Master Pro may temporarily handle visible page pixels from the active tab, the current tab URL for Chrome compatibility checks, your annotations, and image regions submitted to local OCR. Screenshots, annotations, OCR images, and recognized text are processed locally in Chrome and are not uploaded to ToolPile or third-party servers.
Scope
This policy applies to the Local Screenshot Master Pro Chrome Extension and this extension-related privacy page under /extensions/local-screenshot-master-pro/privacy. The main ToolPile website has a separate privacy policy for website features, analytics, accounts, and hosted tools.
Data handled by the extension
When a user explicitly starts a capture, the extension may temporarily handle the minimum data needed for browser screenshot, annotation, and local OCR features.
| Data | Purpose | Where it is processed or stored |
|---|---|---|
| Visible website content and screenshot pixels from the active tab | Select a region, create a screenshot, copy, or save the image | Locally in Chrome while the screenshot interface is open |
| Current tab URL | Determine whether Chrome blocks extensions from operating on that page | Used locally for compatibility checks |
| User-entered annotations such as text, drawings, and shapes | Add annotations to the screenshot chosen by the user | Locally in browser memory while editing |
| Image regions submitted to OCR and recognized text | Recognize Chinese or English text from the selected image region | Locally in Chrome using bundled OCR assets |
| Interface language preference | Remember the selected UI language | chrome.storage.local |
Data not collected
The extension does not intentionally collect credentials, payment information, health information, personal communications, or other sensitive categories for a separate purpose. Such information may incidentally appear in a screenshot selected by the user, but it remains on the user's device and is not transmitted to the developer.
How data is used
Data is used only for user-facing screenshot features: selecting a region, creating a scrolling screenshot, adding annotations, copying or saving an image, pausing a video on the selected frame, and recognizing Chinese or English text locally.
Local processing and storage
Screenshots and annotation history are kept temporarily in browser memory while the screenshot interface is open. The extension does not maintain a cloud screenshot history. A screenshot is saved to disk or written to the clipboard only when the user chooses that action.
The extension stores only the interface language preference in Chrome local storage. Users can remove it by uninstalling the extension or clearing the extension's stored data.
Data transmission and sharing
The extension does not upload screenshots, OCR images, recognized text, annotations, browsing history, or personal information to the developer or third-party servers. It does not sell user data and does not include analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
The popup contains optional external support and product links. Opening a link navigates the browser to that website, but the extension does not attach screenshot or OCR data to the request. The destination website's privacy policy applies after the user leaves the extension.
Permissions
Permissions are used strictly for visible screenshot and local OCR features:
- activeTab — temporary access to the active tab after the user starts a capture.
- scripting — injects the packaged screenshot interface after a user action.
- storage — stores the interface language preference.
- clipboardWrite — copies an image or OCR text when the user chooses Copy.
- offscreen — runs the bundled OCR worker locally.
Network, remote code, and third parties
The extension does not upload screenshot or OCR data and does not include analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
Google may process information according to its own policies when you install or manage the extension through Chrome Web Store.
This privacy policy page is hosted through Cloudflare. Standard security and delivery logs may be processed by Cloudflare as part of serving this webpage.
Opening an optional support or product link leaves the extension; no screenshot or OCR data is attached by the extension.
Data retention and deletion
Temporary screenshot and OCR data is discarded when the screenshot interface is closed or the related extension context ends. Files saved by the user and content copied to the system clipboard remain under the user's control.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
The extension's use of information received from Chrome APIs complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. User data is used only to provide or improve the extension's single user-facing purpose.
Changes to this policy
If the extension's data practices change, this policy and the Chrome Web Store disclosures will be updated before those changes are released.
