Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 28, 2026
Overview
Extractly is a browser extension designed for lightning-fast AI OCR and text extraction. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the extension accesses and how it is handled.
Data Collection
Extractly does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. All processing, including OCR and text extraction, happens entirely locally within your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
Third-Party Services
Extractly uses Chrome's built-in AI for translation features, but does not integrate with any external third-party analytics platforms.
Permissions
The extension requests only the minimum permissions required to function:
- activeTab: Allows the extension to capture a screenshot of the current page for text extraction when the user triggers the tool.
- storage: Used to save user preferences (dark mode, language settings) and maintain a local history of your extracted texts.
- offscreen: Required to run the OCR engine (Tesseract.js) in a separate environment that supports Web Workers and bypasses site security restrictions (CSP).
- host permissions: Necessary to inject the selection tool and the Extractly interface on all websites so you can extract text from any page.
Changes to This Policy
If this privacy policy is updated, the changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
