The short version
WebExtract does not sell, share, or transmit your extracted data to our servers. Data you choose to extract from webpages is processed locally within your browser and stored locally until you export or delete it.
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.
2. Information We Process
WebExtract processes information only when necessary to provide its core functionality.
Webpage Content
The Extension may access webpage elements that you explicitly select or include in an extraction workflow.
Extracted Data
Data extracted from webpages may include text, links, image URLs, prices, titles, ratings, or other content selected by you.
Website Information
The Extension may store the source webpage URL and page title together with your extraction results.
Extension Settings
WebExtract may store local preferences and workflow-related state required for the Extension to function properly.
3. How Webpage Access Is Used
WebExtract requires access to supported webpages so that it can provide its point-and-click extraction functionality.
The Extension may access webpage content to:
- Display the WebExtract selection and extraction interface.
- Allow you to select webpage elements for extraction.
- Identify repeated lists, cards, rows, or similar page structures.
- Extract the data you have configured.
- Support pagination and multi-page extraction workflows.
- Detect duplicate records during extraction.
4. Local Storage of Extracted Data
WebExtract is designed to process and store extraction results locally in your browser.
Depending on how you use the Extension, locally stored information may include:
- Extracted rows and structured datasets.
- Extraction field names and schemas.
- Source webpage URLs and titles.
- Extraction timestamps and workflow status.
- Pagination or multi-page extraction state.
- Extension interface preferences.
This information is stored locally using browser storage technologies, including IndexedDB and Chrome extension storage where applicable.
5. Data Sharing and External Servers
WebExtract does not operate a server for receiving your extracted webpage data.
WebExtract does not intentionally transmit extracted webpage data, extraction history, or user-generated datasets to external servers.
6. Data Export
You may choose to export your extracted data from WebExtract in supported formats, including:
- JSON
- CSV
- Excel-compatible XLS format
Exported files are created locally through your browser and are under your control.
7. Data Retention
Extraction results may remain stored locally in your browser until they are deleted through available Extension functionality, browser data management tools, or by removing the Extension and its associated local data.
Because extracted data is stored locally, we do not maintain copies of your extraction history on our servers.
8. Permissions
WebExtract uses browser permissions only for functionality required by the Extension.

Used to interact with the webpage you select when starting an extraction.
Scripting

9. Third-Party Services
WebExtract does not use third-party analytics, advertising trackers, or external services to receive your extracted data as part of its core functionality.
Websites you choose to visit and extract data from may independently collect information according to their own privacy policies. WebExtract does not control those websites or their data practices.
10. Data Security
WebExtract is designed to keep extraction data within your local browser environment. However, no software or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for protecting your browser, device, and any exported files containing extracted information.
11. Sensitive Information
WebExtract is a general-purpose extraction tool. You should avoid extracting, storing, or exporting sensitive personal information unless you have the necessary authorization and legal right to do so.
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of WebExtract complies with applicable laws, website terms, and data protection requirements.
12. Children's Privacy
WebExtract is not designed specifically for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Extension.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to WebExtract, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.
Any updates will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
