Privacy Policy for InstantOCR

1. Introduction

Thank you for using InstantOCR (“we”, “us”, or “the extension”). InstantOCR is a Chrome browser extension designed to extract text from screenshots, images, and video frames directly in your browser.

Your privacy and trust are important. This Privacy Policy explains what data is processed by InstantOCR and how it is handled when you use the extension.

2. No Collection or Transmission of Personal Data

InstantOCR does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information or user content. All text extraction and image processing happens locally on your device.

Specifically:

We do not collect:

• Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or identifiers
• IP addresses or location data
• Browsing history or usage patterns
• Screenshots or extracted text

We do not send any data to:

• Our servers
• Any third-party servers
• Any analytics or tracking services

All processing is performed locally inside your browser using embedded libraries.

3. Data Handling and Processing

InstantOCR uses a built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine (Tesseract.js) to convert text in images into editable text. This processing is done locally on your device and no OCR results are stored or uploaded.

Temporary data used during OCR processing exists only in memory and is deleted immediately after processing is complete.

4. Permissions Used by the Extension

To provide its functionality, InstantOCR may request the following browser permissions:

• activeTab: Used only when you activate the extension to capture the visible content of the current tab for OCR processing. This permission is used solely to take a user-initiated screenshot and extract text.
• storage: Used to save extension settings or preferences locally on your device, such as onboarding status or user interface preferences.

These permissions are necessary for functionality and are not used for tracking or data collection.

5. No Third-Party Tracking or Analytics

InstantOCR does not integrate with third-party analytics, advertising services, tracking tools, or remote APIs. The extension operates completely offline after installation.

6. Children’s Privacy

InstantOCR does not knowingly collect or process information from children under the age of 13. Since the extension does not collect personal data, there is no information to retain or share.

7. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if required due to changes in functionality, legal requirements, or platform policies. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised “Effective Date.”
