Thank you for using DataDeck! Your privacy and the security of your data are very important to us. This policy explains what information the DataDeck extension handles and why.
DataDeck is designed to be your personal web scraper. Its primary function is to process and store publicly available information from the web pages you choose to visit. The extension itself does not collect any data without your action of browsing to a page.
The data collected is determined by the "drivers" you have active. This may include, but is not limited to, general categories of information such as:
- Contact information (e.g., email addresses)
- Product details (e.g., names, prices)
- Public professional profile data (e.g., job titles, skills)
For organizational purposes, the extension automatically adds the following metadata to each piece of scraped data:
- The URL of the page where the data was found (
$url) - The domain of that page (
$domain) - The type of driver used (
$type) - A timestamp of when the data was scraped (
$scrapedAt)
What We DO NOT Collect: DataDeck is not designed to collect sensitive personal information. We do not collect your browsing history (beyond the URLs associated with scraped data), passwords, data you submit into forms, or any personal files from your computer.
The data you collect is for your use only. We use it to:
- Provide the Core Functionality: Allow you to view, filter, organize, and export your own scraped data from within the extension's interface.
- Enable Data Syncing: Store and synchronize your scraped data with CouchDB database for cache purpose. This provides you with a persistent backup and access to your data.
- Improve the Service: Anonymized data about which drivers are being used may help us understand which scrapers need to be maintained or improved in future updates.
DataDeck uses a two-part storage system to give you both convenience and control:
-
Local Storage: All scraped data is first and foremost saved locally on your computer, within the browser extension's secure storage area. You have full control over this data and can clear it at any time.
-
Server Synchronization: To provide the data syncing feature, some of the data you scrape is also stored for a limited time on a secure, privately-owned server. We take reasonable measures to protect this data, including the use of encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data transfer. This server is for the sole use of the extension's functionality and is not a commercial data-gathering operation.
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your scraped data with any third parties.
The only exception would be to comply with the law or a valid legal process.
You are in control of your data.
- Local Data: You can delete all data stored locally by the extension at any time using the "Clear All Stored Data" button in the extension's popup interface.
- Server Data: Data on our server is temporary. For specific or urgent data removal requests from the server, please contact us at the email address below.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review it periodically.
If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy or our data practices, please contact us at: nanuqcz@gmail.com
