1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how WebExtract – Web Scraper & Data Extractor ("WebExtract", "the Extension", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our browser extension.

WebExtract allows users to select elements on webpages and extract structured data. The Extension can extract data from the current page, repeated lists or cards, paginated pages, and supported multi-page content.
