This Privacy Policy explains how Extracto ("Extracto", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the Extracto browser extension and related services provided through SarkariLinks.
1. What is Extracto?
Extracto is a browser extension that helps users extract text and structured information from screenshots, images, PDFs, and other supported content.
The extension may send user-selected content to our OCR processing service at:
https://api.sarkarilinks.com
2. Information We Process
Depending on how you use Extracto, the service may process:
- Screenshots selected or captured by the user.
- Images selected by the user.
- PDF files selected by the user.
- Text contained within submitted images or documents.
- Structured information generated from submitted content.
- Technical information necessary to operate the extension and API.
Extracto does not intentionally request sensitive information from users. However, content you voluntarily submit may contain personal or sensitive information. You should avoid submitting information you do not want processed.
3. How We Use Information
Information submitted to Extracto is used primarily to provide the requested extraction functionality.
This may include:
- Processing screenshots and images using OCR.
- Extracting text from PDF documents.
- Converting extracted information into structured output.
- Returning extraction results to the browser extension.
- Maintaining and improving the reliability and security of the service.
- Preventing abuse, fraud, and unauthorized use of the service.
4. User-Submitted Files
Extracto processes files only when you intentionally submit or select them for extraction.
We do not claim ownership of your screenshots, images, PDFs, or extracted content. You retain your rights to content that you submit, subject to any rights held by third parties.
5. Data Storage and Retention
Extracto is designed to minimize the retention of user-submitted content. Files and content may be temporarily processed by the OCR service to complete your requested operation.
Temporary processing data may be automatically deleted after processing, unless retention is technically necessary for security, debugging, legal compliance, or another legitimate operational purpose.
We do not intend to permanently store users' screenshots, images, PDFs, or extracted text as part of normal OCR processing.
6. Browser Extension Permissions
Extracto requests certain browser permissions to provide its functionality.
Active Tab
The activeTab permission allows Extracto to interact with the currently active webpage when the user invokes the extension.
Scripting
The scripting permission allows Extracto to execute required extension functionality on a webpage when initiated by the user.
Storage
The storage permission allows Extracto to store extension settings, preferences, or temporary application state locally within the browser.
Tabs
The tabs permission may be used to obtain information about browser tabs required for extension functionality.
API Host Permission
Extracto communicates with the Extracto OCR API hosted at api.sarkarilinks.com to process submitted content.
7. Screenshots and Webpage Content
Extracto may access webpage-related information when you explicitly use an extraction feature that requires access to the current tab or a screenshot.
Extracto does not continuously monitor your browsing activity.
The extension is not intended to collect your general browsing history, passwords, payment information, or unrelated webpage activity.
8. Cookies and Tracking
Extracto does not use the browser extension to intentionally track users across unrelated websites.
The service may use essential technical mechanisms such as server logs, security controls, or similar technologies required to operate and protect the service.
9. Third-Party Services
Extracto may use infrastructure, hosting, security, analytics, or processing providers necessary to operate the service.
Such providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services and are expected to maintain appropriate security measures.
We do not sell user-submitted content or personal information to third parties.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed by Extracto.
Communication between the browser extension and the Extracto API is intended to use HTTPS encryption.
However, no internet service can guarantee absolute security. Users should avoid submitting highly confidential information unless necessary.
11. Children's Privacy
Extracto is not specifically designed for children under the applicable minimum age required by law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for advertising or profiling purposes.
12. Your Choices
You can stop using Extracto at any time and remove the extension from your browser.
You can also choose not to submit a particular screenshot, image, or document for processing.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Extracto, our services, or applicable legal requirements.
When we make significant changes, we may update the "Last updated" date displayed at the top of this page.
