  <h1>SnipText — Privacy Policy</h1>
  <p class="muted">Last updated: June 16, 2026</p>

  <p><strong>SnipText does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data.</strong> The extension performs all of its work — screen capture, image cropping, and optical character recognition (OCR) — entirely on your device.</p>

  <h2>What the extension does</h2>
  <p>When you click the SnipText icon (or press the shortcut), SnipText captures the visible area of the current browser tab so you can select a region and convert the text in it to editable text. The captured image and the recognized text never leave your computer. There is no backend server, no account, and no analytics.</p>

  <h2>On-device processing</h2>
  <p>Text recognition runs locally using a bundled OCR engine (Tesseract) included inside the extension. No image, screenshot, or text is uploaded to SnipText, the developer, or any third party. The extension makes no network requests.</p>

  <h2>Permissions and why they are used</h2>
  <ul>
    <li><code>activeTab</code> &amp; <code>scripting</code> — to capture the current tab and show the crop overlay, only after you click the icon or use the shortcut.</li>
    <li><code>offscreen</code> — to run OCR in a background document so the page stays responsive.</li>
    <li><code>storage</code> — to remember your local preferences (e.g., the Enhance toggle). Stored only on your device.</li>
  </ul>

  <h2>Data sharing</h2>
  <p>None. Because no data is collected, no data is shared.</p>

  <h2>Changes</h2>
  <p>If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.</p>
