Privacy policy

Last updated: 12 October 2026

In short

Picantex does not collect, transmit, sell or share any data. Everything it does happens inside your browser.

What stays on your computer

• Screenshots and annotations are processed locally and are never sent to us or to anyone else.
• To open the editor, each capture, and each image you open in it, is kept temporarily in the storage that the browser reserves for the extension, together with the text the page was showing, so that you can copy it from the editor. Those older than 24 hours are deleted automatically the next time you capture or open something, and everything is removed when you uninstall the extension.
• The pages you add to the multi-page document are kept in the same storage until you empty the document.
• The language you choose in the editor and the choice of scrolling inner sections are saved locally, so that they are remembered.
• Saved files go only where you choose in the save dialog.

Permissions and why they are needed

• activeTab: to capture the tab you are looking at, only when you click the icon or the right-click menu.
• scripting: to draw the selection rectangle on the page, to scroll it when capturing the full page, and to read the text it shows so that you can copy it from the editor.
• contextMenus: to add the capture commands to the right-click menu.
• downloads: to save the file where you choose.
• storage: to remember the language you chose and whether inner sections are scrolled.

What Picantex does not do

No analytics, no advertising, no accounts, no code loaded from the internet, no third-party services.

This website

This site uses no cookies and no analytics. Like any web server, the one that hosts it keeps technical access logs (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser), used only for security and troubleshooting.

If you write to us

If you email us for support, we receive your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever you write or attach.

We use this information only to answer your request, which is also the legal basis for handling it. We never use it for marketing and we do not pass it on to anyone.

Messages are deleted permanently once your request is closed, and in any case no later than 15 days after the last message.

You can ask at any time for a copy of your data, for corrections or for immediate deletion by writing to the address below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with its date.
