Privacy Policy

SiteScoop is built on one principle: your data never leaves your browser. This page explains exactly what that means in practice.

What data SiteScoop collects

None. SiteScoop does not collect, store, transmit, or share any data you extract from websites. It does not collect your browsing history, the URLs you visit, the data you extract, or any personal information about you.

How the processing works

SiteScoop's extraction engine is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly (WASM). When you click Detect or Extract, the processing happens entirely inside your browser's memory — the same place websites run their own JavaScript. No data is sent anywhere.

The extension reads the HTML of the page you're on (which is already in your browser), runs the extraction algorithm locally, and returns the results to your screen. When you export a CSV or copy to clipboard, that file is created locally and downloaded directly from your browser to your computer. No intermediate server is involved at any point.

Chrome permissions explained

SiteScoop requests the following Chrome permissions:

• activeTab — to read the HTML of the page you're currently on. This is only triggered when you click Detect.
• sidePanel — to display the extraction interface as a side panel.
• contextMenus — to add a right-click option to open SiteScoop on a page.
• storage — reserved for future features (saving templates). Not currently used to store any user data.
• host_permissions (all URLs) — required so the extension can fetch HTML from subsequent pages when loading multi-page results. These fetches go directly from your browser to the target website — not through any SiteScoop server.

Cookies and tracking

SiteScoop does not set any cookies. SiteScoop does not use any analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or tracking of any kind.

Third parties

SiteScoop does not share data with any third parties because it does not collect any data to share. There are no advertising partners, analytics providers, or data brokers involved.

Open to inspection

SiteScoop's source code is available for review. Because all processing happens locally, you can verify these claims yourself — there is no server-side component to hide anything in.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page. The date below reflects the last update. Our commitment to zero data collection will not change.
