Privacy Policy

This policy explains how the AVP Screenshots browser extension ("AVP Screenshots", "we", "us") handles information. AVP Screenshots is operated by AVP Tech Solution, India. Questions: vimal@avptechsolution.com.

1. Information processed only on your device

The following never leave your browser unless you choose to save or share them:

• Screenshots of the page or screen you choose to capture, and images you open from a file or your clipboard.
• Annotations and edits you make to those images.
• Screen, tab, window and camera recordings, including microphone and system audio if you turn them on.
• Text recognition (OCR). The recognition engine and language data are bundled inside the extension, so images are processed in your browser and are not uploaded.
• Settings such as your preferred image format, stored with Chrome's extension storage on your device.

AVP Screenshots does not read pages in the background. It only accesses the tab you are on when you start a capture, using Chrome's activeTab permission.

2. Google Drive (optional)

If you click Save to Google Drive, AVP Screenshots asks you to sign in with Google and grant access. This section describes exactly how AVP Screenshots uses Google user data.

What AVP Screenshots accesses

• AVP Screenshots requests only the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file scope. This lets AVP Screenshots create files and access only the files AVP Screenshots itself creates. AVP Screenshots cannot see, open, list or change any other files in your Drive.
• Sign-in is handled by Chrome's built-in Google identity service. AVP Screenshots never sees your Google password.

How AVP Screenshots uses it

• Solely to upload the screenshot or recording you chose into a folder named "AVP Screenshots" in your Drive, and to show you a link to it.
• The upload goes directly from your browser to Google. The file does not pass through any AVP Screenshots server.

Storage, sharing and retention

• AVP Screenshots does not store your Google files or copies of them. Chrome manages the access token on your device.
• AVP Screenshots does not transfer, sell or share Google user data with anyone, and does not use it for advertising or to train AI models.
• You can revoke AVP Screenshots’ access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Files already saved remain in your Drive until you delete them.

AVP Screenshots’ use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

3. Optional account features

Some editions of AVP Screenshots may offer an optional account with cloud storage, share links, AI text tools or paid plans. These features appear only if they are available and are never required. If you use them:

• Account: your email address and an optional display name. Passwords are stored only as a secure one-way hash.
• Cloud saves: the files you choose to upload and their basic details (type, size, dimensions, title, dates), kept in private storage and served only through short-lived links.
• Share links: created only by you, optionally with an expiry, a password or a list of allowed recipients, and revocable at any time. People viewing a shared item can report abuse; a report stores the reason, optional details and an optional email.
• AI text tools (summarize, translate, explain): only the text you selected is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to produce the result — never the image. We do not keep the text or the result, only a count for usage limits.
• Payments: handled by our payment provider. We keep your plan and subscription status, never your card details.
• Email: only service messages such as password resets. No marketing email without your consent.
• Security logs: IP address and time of sign-ins and similar actions, used to prevent abuse.

4. Permissions AVP Screenshots asks for

AVP Screenshots does not ask for access to all websites and does not run scripts on pages in the background.

5. Who we share information with

We don't sell personal information or share it for advertising. Information goes to a third party only when you use a feature that needs it:

• Google — when you save to Google Drive.
• Our hosting and storage providers — only for the optional account features.
• Anthropic — only the text you send with an AI text tool.
• Our payment provider — only if you buy a paid plan.

We may disclose information if required by law.

6. This website

This website uses no cookies, analytics or advertising trackers and loads no third-party scripts or fonts. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security.

7. Keeping and deleting your information

• Files you download or save to Google Drive stay under your control; delete them as you normally would.
• Removing AVP Screenshots from Chrome deletes its settings from your browser.
• To revoke Google Drive access, visit Google account permissions.
• For optional account features, you can delete items and share links yourself, and ask us to delete your account and its data at vimal@avptechsolution.com. We respond within 30 days.

8. Security

We use HTTPS for all network traffic, private storage with short-lived access links, one-way hashing for passwords and tokens, and access checks so no user can reach another user's data. No method is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.

9. Children

AVP Screenshots is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their information.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your information, or to object to its use. Email vimal@avptechsolution.com and we will help.

11. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above, and for significant changes we will give notice in the extension or on this website.
