Privacy Policy for PageMiner
Last Updated: January 30, 2026
Quick Summary: PageMiner is a browser automation and web scraping tool that only collects data you explicitly choose to scrape from websites. All data stays on your device unless you choose to send it to external services you configure.
1. Introduction
PageMiner ("we," "our," or "us") is a Chrome extension designed for browser automation and web scraping. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our extension.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Website Content
PageMiner collects website content only when you explicitly use our scraping features:
- Web page text, images, and HTML content - Only from pages where you actively run scraping flows
- Hyperlinks and page elements - As specified by your CSS selectors and automation rules
- Element attributes and metadata - When needed for your automation workflows
2.2 User Activity (During Recording Mode Only)
When you use our action recording feature, we temporarily capture:
- Click events and mouse positions - To recreate your automation sequence
- Keyboard inputs - Only for form fields you interact with during recording
- Scroll actions and navigation - To replicate your browsing behavior
Important: We do NOT collect passwords, personal information, or data from pages you're not actively automating.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information solely for:
- Automation replay - Executing the workflows you've created
- Data extraction - Providing you with the scraped content you requested
- Local storage - Saving your flows and settings on your device
- Export functionality - Converting data to formats you choose (CSV, JSON)
4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Local Storage
All your automation flows, scraped data, and settings are stored locally on your device using Chrome's secure storage APIs. We do not have access to this data.
4.2 No Data Transmission to Our Servers
PageMiner does not send any of your data to our servers. All processing happens locally on your device.
5. Third-Party Integrations
PageMiner includes optional integrations with external services. Data sharing occurs only when you:
- Configure webhook URLs or API endpoints
- Use integrations like Zapier, Slack, Discord, or Notion
- Export data to external services
You control all third-party data sharing. We only send data to services you explicitly configure and authorize.
6. Remote Code Usage
PageMiner uses remote code for:
- Documentation loading - Fetching help guides from our servers
- External API calls - When you configure third-party integrations
- Webhook functionality - Sending data to URLs you specify
7. Your Rights and Choices

9. Data Retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for the extension to function:
- Automation flows: Until you delete them
- Scraped data: Until you export or delete it
- Settings: Until you reset or uninstall the extension
10. International Users
PageMiner processes data locally on your device. For users in the EU, we comply with GDPR principles of data minimization and user control.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the extension after changes indicates your acceptance of the new policy.
