Extension Name: BinaryFolks Screen Capture Tool

1. Overview

The BinaryFolks Screen Capture Tool enables users to take screenshots, record screen or webcam sessions, annotate content, and save the resulting files directly to their personal Google Drive.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes what information we collect, how it is used, and how your data is protected.

We do not collect, store, or access any screenshots, recordings, or other user-generated files. All captures and recordings remain under your control.

2. Information We Collect

a. User-Generated Content

All screenshots, recordings, and annotations created using the extension are processed locally on your device or browser. These files are not transmitted to or stored on our servers at any time.

b. Google Account Information

When you choose to connect your Google Drive account, we request limited access to your Google account through OAuth 2.0 authentication. Specifically, we access your Google account email address to identify your account and link your Drive for saving files.

  • We use this access only to create a dedicated folder within your own Drive where your captures are stored.
  • We do not access, read, or modify any files in your Drive (including those created through this extension).
  • We do not store your email address, authentication tokens, or any other Google account data on our servers.

All authentication is securely handled by Google’s systems.

c. Anonymous Usage Analytics

We collect aggregated, anonymous usage analytics to understand overall extension activity and improve performance. This information does not include personal identifiers, screenshots, recordings, or any user content. The data is used solely for improving performance, stability, and user experience.

3. How We Use Information

  • To enable Google Drive integration and save your captures to your account.
  • To analyze anonymous usage patterns for product improvement.
  • To maintain system performance and diagnose technical issues.

We do not sell, rent, or share any information with advertisers or unrelated third parties.

4. Data Storage and Retention

  • All screenshots, recordings, and annotations remain either on your local device or within your personal Google Drive.
  • We do not store, copy, or retain any of your files, account data, or metadata on our servers.
  • Anonymous analytics data is stored without any personal identifiers and cannot be linked to any specific user.
  • Any data saved in your Google Drive is governed by Google’s own Privacy Policy.

5. Permissions Explained

  • Screen Capture / Tab Access: Required to capture or record your active tab or screen.
  • Microphone and Camera: Used only when you choose to include audio or webcam input in a recording.
  • Google Drive: Used exclusively to create and save files in your own Drive folder.
  • Email Access: Used only for identifying your Google account and associating it with your Drive integration.

6. Security Measures

  • All communication between the extension and Google’s APIs is secured using HTTPS and OAuth 2.0 protocols.
  • No user content or authentication information is transmitted to or stored on BinaryFolks servers.
  • Access tokens are managed securely and never shared with third parties.
  • We adhere to industry best practices for privacy, security, and data minimization.

7. User Control

  • You remain in full control of what you capture, edit, or save.
  • You can disconnect Google Drive access at any time through your Google Account settings.
  • Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored preferences and cached data.
