Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Scrape Walk ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you understand how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you use our AI-powered web scraping Chrome extension and related services (collectively, the "Service").

This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use Scrape Walk. By installing and using our Chrome extension, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials (if using third-party login like Google).
• Payment Information: If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment processing is handled by our third-party payment processor. We do not store your full credit card details.
• Support Communications: When you contact us for support, we collect the information you provide in your communications.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage Data: We collect information about how you use the Service, including the number of pages analyzed, extraction requests made, and features used.
• Device Information: Browser type, operating system, and extension version.
• Log Data: Error logs and performance data to help us improve the Service.

2.3 Information Processed Locally

Important: The following data is processed locally in your browser and is NOT sent to our servers:

• Extracted Data: The actual data you extract from websites remains entirely in your browser. We never receive, store, or have access to your scraped data.
• Saved Configurations: Your scraping configurations, recorded steps, and selectors are stored locally in your browser's storage.
• Login Credentials for Target Sites: Any credentials you use to log into websites you're scraping are never captured or transmitted to us.

2.4 Information Sent for AI Processing

To provide AI-powered page analysis and field detection, we send the following to our AI processing service:

• Page HTML Structure: A sanitized version of the webpage's HTML is sent for AI analysis. This is used to identify data sections and generate CSS selectors.
• Page URL: The URL of the page being analyzed (for context).

This data is processed in real-time and is not stored after processing is complete.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide the Service: Enable AI-powered page analysis, field detection, and data extraction.
• Manage Your Account: Create and maintain your account, process payments, and track usage against your plan limits.
• Improve the Service: Analyze usage patterns to enhance features, fix bugs, and develop new capabilities.
• Communicate with You: Send service updates, respond to inquiries, and provide customer support.
• Ensure Security: Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats.
• Comply with Legal Obligations: Meet applicable legal requirements and respond to lawful requests.

4. Data Processing and Storage

4.1 Local Processing

Scrape Walk is designed with privacy in mind. The core data extraction functionality runs entirely within your browser. Your extracted data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it.

4.2 Cloud Processing

For AI-powered features, page HTML is temporarily processed by our AI service providers. This processing is stateless and ephemeral—no webpage content is retained after the analysis is complete.

4.3 Data Retention

• Account Data: Retained while your account is active. Upon account deletion, we remove your data within 30 days.
• Usage Logs: Retained for up to 90 days for service improvement and troubleshooting.
• AI Processing Data: Not retained. Processed in real-time and immediately discarded.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in the following circumstances:
