ScreenMind

Last updated: April 14, 2026

1. What the extension does

ScreenMind is a Chrome extension that lets you capture screenshots of web pages and your screen, and extracts text from those captures using Tesseract.js optical character recognition (OCR). The extension detects the type of content (code, contact info, prices, plain text) and offers contextual copy formats.

2. Data the extension accesses

When you explicitly trigger a capture, the extension accesses:

• The pixel contents of the page or screen area you chose, to create the screenshot.
• The URL and title of the captured tab, to attach to the saved screenshot as metadata.
• The text extracted from the screenshot via OCR, to enable copy and search.

The extension also stores your in-app settings (for example, which capture mode you used last).

3. Where your data is stored

Everything is stored locally in your browser:

• Screenshots, thumbnails, and extracted text are saved in IndexedDB on your device.
• Settings are saved in Chrome’s local extension storage.

Nothing is uploaded to a remote server. There is no account, no login, and no sync.

4. Data the extension does not collect

ScreenMind does not collect, log, or transmit any of the following:

• Personally identifiable information (name, email, address, ID numbers)
• Authentication credentials or passwords
• Health or financial data
• Location, IP address, or device identifiers
• Browsing history
• Analytics, usage metrics, crash reports, or telemetry

5. Third parties

The extension does not share, sell, or transfer any data to third parties. It does not include third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. No user data is used or transferred to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

6. Permissions

ScreenMind requests the minimum Chrome permissions required for its single purpose:

• activeTab, tabs, scripting, <all_urls> — capture the page the user is looking at and coordinate scrolling for full-page capture.
• desktopCapture — allow the user to capture a whole screen or another application window via Chrome’s native picker.
• offscreen — run Tesseract.js OCR, which requires DOM access.
• storage, unlimitedStorage — save screenshots and settings locally in IndexedDB.
• contextMenus — add right-click capture options.
• sidePanel — render the library UI as a side panel.

Every permission is used strictly for the extension’s screenshot and OCR functionality — never to collect or transmit data.

7. Your control

You can delete individual screenshots, bulk-delete selected items, or clear all ScreenMind data at any time from the Options page. Removing the extension from Chrome deletes its local storage automatically.

8. Children’s privacy

ScreenMind is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed at children under 13. The extension does not knowingly collect any information from children.

9. Changes to this policy

If the extension’s data handling ever changes, this page will be updated before the new behavior ships, and the “Last updated” date above will be revised.
