Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2025

Introduction

Screen Search ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Chrome extension, Screen Search - Search Screen with Google Lens.

Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

Screen Search is designed with privacy as a core principle. The extension operates locally on your device and does not:

  • Collect any personal information
  • Store your search queries or screenshots
  • Transmit data to our servers
  • Track your browsing activity
  • Use cookies or tracking technologies

How Screen Search Works

When you use Screen Search:

  • Screenshots or selected areas are processed locally on your device
  • Images are sent directly to Google Lens API for visual search
  • No data passes through our servers
  • Results are displayed directly from Google Lens

Please note that when you use Google Lens through our extension, Google's own privacy policy applies to that service. We recommend reviewing Google's Privacy Policy for information about how Google handles your data.

Permissions

Screen Search requires the following permissions to function:

  • Active Tab: To capture screenshots of the current tab
  • Storage: To store your preferences and settings locally
  • Context Menus: To provide right-click options for images

These permissions are used solely for the extension's functionality and do not involve any data collection or transmission to third parties (except for Google Lens API when you perform a search).

Third-Party Services

Screen Search uses Google Lens API to provide visual search functionality. When you perform a search:

  • Your screenshot or selected image is sent to Google's servers
  • Google processes the image according to their privacy policy
  • We do not have access to or store any data from these searches

We are not responsible for Google's privacy practices. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for information about how they handle your data.

Data Sharing

We do not share your data with any third parties.

As stated above, we do not collect any data. The only data transmission that occurs is when you actively choose to perform a search, at which point your image is sent directly to Google Lens API. This transmission happens directly between your browser and Google's servers - it does not pass through our servers.

Data Security

Since we do not collect or store any data, there is no data to secure on our end. All processing happens locally on your device, ensuring maximum privacy and security.

Children's Privacy

Screen Search is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

Your Rights

Since we do not collect any personal data, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. However, if you have any questions or concerns about privacy, please contact us.
