Standalone browser extension

This section applies to the standalone browser extension. Desktop AI capture, hosted extraction and desktop activation diagnostics described below are separate and do not describe the extension’s local extraction.

The extension reads website content and URLs on pages you choose, with browser access granted for that action or site. List, image, page and social-link extraction run locally without an AI provider. Saved tables and gallery metadata are stored in the browser profile using extension storage and IndexedDB; ScrapeNow does not receive the extracted page content for processing.

Image previews and downloads request the original image hosts. Account sign-in uses Supabase; hosted license and allowance services on Railway record account identifiers, anonymous installation tokens, collection identifiers, export formats, row counts and UTC usage dates. Quota calls do not include the extracted row values. Multi-URL bulk jobs need a hosted plan check; exports need a hosted allowance check.

Stripe handles checkout and payment details. We retain payment and license references and receive verified payment, refund and dispute events to manage extension entitlements. Complete payment-card numbers are not received by ScrapeNow.

Google Sheets export sends the selected column headers and rows to Google only when you choose it and authorize per-file Google Drive access. Google authorization tokens are stored in extension storage. Sheets authorization is separate from the ScrapeNow account session; selecting a destination Google account does not replace that session.

Delete a collection to remove its local table. Clearing a gallery removes its metadata, not downloaded files. Signing out does not remove local tables, disconnect Sheets authorization, delete Google spreadsheets or erase hosted billing/usage records. Export important data before uninstalling or removing the browser profile. Manage Google authorization in your Google account’s connected-app settings.

Hosted account, usage and payment records support licenses, quota enforcement, security, support and accounting. They are not automatically erased by uninstalling the extension. Contact reda@automation-campus.com for access or deletion requests; legally required transaction records may need to be retained. We do not sell extracted data. Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

1. Who we are

ScrapeNow is published by Automation Campus. This policy explains how the ScrapeNow desktop application, standalone browser extension, website, and hosted extraction service handle personal data. Contact us at reda@automation-campus.com.

2. Information we process

Account data includes your email address, account identifier, name, profile image, authentication provider, and session information supplied through Supabase Auth and an enabled sign-in provider such as Google.

Service data includes job status, selected effort and operation, token and credit usage, sanitized errors, source references, and the structured result returned by a hosted extraction job. Support requests include the information you choose to send us.

First-use diagnostics record whether an account reached a small set of activation milestones, such as opening the desktop app, opening billing, starting a run, completing capture, submitting extraction, and receiving a result. These records may include the app version and a short sanitized error category. They do not include website URLs, captured content, requested field names, structured results, or free-form error messages.

Stripe processes billing identity, payment methods, subscriptions, transactions, refunds, disputes, taxes, and invoices. ScrapeNow stores Stripe customer, subscription, Checkout, transaction, and invoice references needed to provide billing support and credit entitlements. ScrapeNow does not receive or store complete payment card numbers.

3. Data that stays local

Browser cookies, website login credentials, browser sessions, captured Markdown, local workflow history, structured results retrieved by the app, and exports are stored on your device unless you choose to move or share them. ScrapeNow does not upload your local SQLite database.

4. Hosted extraction data

To perform AI extraction or pagination discovery, the desktop app uploads the reduced Markdown chunks, requested field schema or pagination instructions, operation type, selected internal effort mapping, and source base URL when needed. This content may contain personal data present on the page you chose to process.

Raw Markdown chunks are held temporarily in Redis for no longer than one hour and are deleted sooner after a job completes, fails, or is cancelled. Structured result JSON is available through the hosted service for up to 24 hours. Usage, credit ledger, first-use milestone, security, and audit records may be retained longer for account support, product improvement, fraud prevention, accounting, and legal purposes.

5. Why we process data

We process data to provide and secure the service, authenticate users, complete requested extraction work, maintain credits and billing records, understand whether the first-use flow works, respond to support, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations. Depending on your location, our legal bases include performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent where requested, and compliance with law.

6. Service providers and transfers

We use service providers for authentication and database hosting, cloud application hosting, AI model processing, sign-in, payment processing when enabled, and operational support. Current core providers include Supabase, Railway, Google, enabled AI model providers, and Stripe for paid transactions. These providers process data under their own terms and may operate outside your country.

The ScrapeNow website uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced player for the product walkthrough. Loading or playing an embedded video may send your IP address, browser or device information, and video interaction data to Google or YouTube under their own privacy terms.

We do not sell personal information or use uploaded extraction content for advertising.

7. Website analytics

If you select “Allow analytics,” the ScrapeNow website loads Google Analytics 4 to measure page visits, navigation, and interactions such as outbound link clicks. Google may process device and browser information, approximate location, online identifiers, and the pages or interactions recorded during your visit. ScrapeNow disables Google signals and advertising-personalization signals in its tag configuration and does not use this data for advertising.

The analytics tag does not load before you allow it. Your choice is stored in your browser so the website can remember it. You can reopen the choice at any time; declining after previously allowing analytics stops the tag from loading on subsequent pages.

Essential website functions remain active when you choose “Essential only.” They cover secure delivery, basic operation, and remembering your privacy choice, but they do not load Google Analytics or record your browsing behavior in the ScrapeNow Analytics property.

8. Your choices and rights

You can delete local ScrapeNow data from your device. You may also request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection where applicable by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity, and some ledger or transaction records must be retained where required by law.

9. Security, children, and changes

We use access controls, encrypted transport, short retention for uploaded content, and hosted secret management, but no system can guarantee absolute security. ScrapeNow is not directed to children under 16. We may update this policy as the product changes and will publish the revised date here.
