Privacy Policy — Screenchat

Last updated: 2025-10-06

This Privacy Policy explains how Screenchat (the “Screenchat-firefox”, “Add-on”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you install and use the Add-on in your browser.



1. Summary

• This Add-on requests the following required permissions in manifest.json:

"permissions": [
"scripting",
"storage",
"activeTab",
"contextMenus",
"clipboardWrite",
"downloads"
],
"optional_permissions": [
"<all_urls>"
],
"content_security_policy": {
"extension_pages": "script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'; connect-src 'self' https://api.groq.com https://openrouter.ai"
}


• Some features may call external services and therefore transmit limited user data to third parties.
• You can revoke optional permissions at any time or uninstall the Add-on to stop data collection.
• We do not sell personal data.

3. What information we collect

We only collect the minimum information necessary to provide the Add-on features. The types of information we may collect include:

3.1 Information collected automatically / by permission

• Active tab info (activeTab): URL and limited metadata of the currently active tab only when you explicitly invoke an action that requires it (for example, when you click the Add-on toolbar button or a context menu entry to act on the page). We do not continuously monitor tabs.\
  Example: When you click “Save page to X”, we may read the page's URL and title.
• Scripting access (scripting): Used to inject scripts into pages you explicitly choose to interact with. If those scripts read page content (DOM), we will only collect such content when you actively ask the Add-on to do so (e.g., “selection”). The content read may be transmitted to third parties if you use features that require external processing.
• Storage (storage): Local Add-on storage used to store settings and preferences. Stored items may include:
• User preferences (e.g., mode, prompts)
• Identifiers required to call third-party APIs
• Context menus (contextMenus): We create context menu entries; the Add-on knows which menu item you clicked and the target element (e.g., selected text or link) when you use the menu.
• Clipboard write (clipboardWrite): Only used when you choose an action that copies data to your clipboard (e.g., “Copy processed result to clipboard”). We do not read your clipboard.
• Downloads (downloads): If you use a feature that saves files (mode "Download"), the Add-on will request the ability to create a download; this permission allows us to create the downloaded file and does not give us general access to your existing files.

3.2 Optional <all_urls> permission

If you grant the optional <all_urls> permission, the Add-on may operate across more sites (e.g., to provide site-wide features). This is requested only when needed and only with your explicit consent. Granting this expands the domains the Add-on may interact with when you trigger actions.

4. How we use the information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide and operate Add-on features you request (e.g., page processing, downloads, clipboard copy).
• To send content to third-party services for processing when you use features that require them (e.g. AI processing).
• To store settings and preferences locally so the Add-on behaves consistently across sessions.

We do not use the information for advertising, profiling you for third-party ad networks, or selling your personal data.



5. What we share and with whom (Third parties)

The Add-on does transmit data to third parties for AI-related features:

• Third-party service #1: OpenRouter (https://openrouter.ai/)
• Data transmitted: any information you send via chat UI, including your prompts & conversations.
• Privacy policy: Please review OpenRouter’s privacy policy at https://openrouter.ai/privacy.
• Third-party service #2: Groq (https://groq.com/)
• Data transmitted: any information you send via chat UI, including your prompts & conversations.
• Privacy policy: Please review Groq’s privacy policy at https://groq.com/privacy-policy.

Important: For each feature that uses a third-party service you will be clearly informed in the UI. We will ask for your consent where required.



6. Content Security Policy & network connections

The Add-on's manifest includes the following content security policy for extension pages:

"content_security_policy": {
"extension_pages": "script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'; connect-src 'self' https://api.groq.com https://openrouter.ai"
}


• This means extension pages may only open network connections to self and to https://api.groq.com and https://openrouter.ai.
• If you use features that require other external endpoints, the Add-on will request permission and disclose the endpoint before transmitting data.

7. User controls, choices & opt-outs

• Granting & revoking optional permissions: You can manage or revoke permissions from the browser's Add-on settings.
• Turning off data sharing / AI features: Disable or avoid using features that send data to third parties.
• Deleting stored data: You can clear local storage via Add-on settings or by uninstalling the Add-on.

8. Security

• We use reasonable security measures.
• Data shared with third parties is subject to their practices and security measures.

9. International transfers

If data is transmitted outside your country, different data protection regimes may apply. Contact [email protected] for details.



10. Children

The Add-on is not intended for users under 13 (or local equivalent). We do not knowingly collect data from children.



11. Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, portability, or objection. Contact [email protected] to exercise these.



12. How to delete or uninstall

• Remove the Add-on from your browser (visit about:addons → select Add-on → Remove).
• Use the Add-on settings page to clear stored data.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Updates will be posted at https://github.com/W14rd/Screenchat-firefox/blob/main/Privacypolicy.md with the new date.
