Privacy Policy – PDF Select & Extract Offline

Last updated: May 2026

1. Overview

PDF Select & Extract Offline is designed with privacy as a core principle. All processing is performed locally in your browser, and your PDF files never leave your device.

2. Data we collect

This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or document content.

• No user accounts
• No analytics or tracking
• No logging of PDF content or selections
• No cookies or identifiers created by the extension

3. How the extension works

All features of PDF Select & Extract Offline run entirely within your browser:

• Text extraction from the selected area of a PDF
• Table detection and reconstruction
• Export of tables as pipe-separated CSV, aligned “pretty” text, or JSON
• Export of the selected region as a PNG image

The processing is performed in memory on your device. The extension does not upload your files or extracted data to any remote server or third party.

4. No OCR and image limitations

This extension does not use Optical Character Recognition (OCR). It can only extract text that is already embedded as text in the PDF. As a result, it cannot extract text from images or from scanned pages that contain no embedded text.

5. Data sharing

PDF Select & Extract Offline does not share any data with third parties. There is no integration with external services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.

6. Permissions

The extension requests only the minimum permissions required to:

• Access and render PDF content in the browser
• Allow user selection and extraction of text, tables, and images

These permissions are used solely to provide the described functionality and not for tracking or profiling.

7. Offline operation

All core features are designed to work fully offline. An internet connection is not required for:

• Opening and viewing PDFs
• Selecting and extracting text
• Detecting and exporting tables
• Exporting selections as PNG images

8. Changes to this policy

If this privacy policy is updated in the future, the new version will be made available together with the extension update. Any changes will continue to respect the principles of local processing and minimal data handling.
