Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 23, 2024

WebScraperKit Privacy Policy

At WebScraperKit, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of information when you use our Google Sheets™ extension, WebScraperKit.

Information We Collect

When you use WebScraperKit, the application may request access to the following Google user data in order to function effectively:

  • Google Sheets Data: We access specific Google Sheets that you authorize in order to extract or scrape information as requested by you.

  • Google OAuth User Information: We access your Google account information for authentication and authorization purposes, limited to your basic profile information (such as your email address) for secure sign-in.

How We Use Your Information

The data we access through Google services is used solely to provide the following functionalities within WebScraperKit:

  • Google Sheets Data: We use the data you specify within your Google Sheets for scraping and extracting content as per your instructions.

  • Google OAuth User Information: This data is used strictly for authentication and authorization to ensure that only you have access to your specific data and operations within the app.

WebScraperKit does not use your Google data for any purposes outside of the core app functionality. We do not analyze, modify, or process your data for any other reasons.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Google user data to third parties. Your data remains secure and is only accessed and processed to fulfill the features of the WebScraperKit extension.

In the case of utilizing external services such as Firecrawl and OpenAI APIs for additional functionality:

  • No Google user data (such as your Sheets content or OAuth information) is shared with these APIs.

WebScraperKit adheres to Google’s API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements, which ensure that any Google data accessed by the app remains confidential and secure.

Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously. Although WebScraperKit does not store or persist any user data, we ensure that all communications with Google services are encrypted using secure methods (e.g., HTTPS).

However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Google user data, but we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Retention and Deletion

WebScraperKit does not store any user data beyond the active session. The data accessed from your Google Sheets and your authentication information is processed in real time and is discarded as soon as the action is completed.

We do not retain, store, or backup any of your Google user data.

Since no data is retained, there is no need for data deletion. Once you disconnect or stop using WebScraperKit, all temporary session data is purged.

Your Choices

You have control over the data that WebScraperKit accesses through Google’s OAuth and permissions settings. You can:

  • Revoke access to WebScraperKit from your Google Account settings at any time.
  • Manage and review the permissions granted to WebScraperKit within your Google Account.

Children’s Privacy

WebScraperKit does not specifically address anyone under the age of 13. We do not collect or process any personal information from users, regardless of age.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. We will notify you of any significant updates by posting the new Privacy Policy on our website and updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.

Your continued use of WebScraperKit after any changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
