Privacy Policy

Short version

The data you scrape with Sturdy Scraper is processed and stored locally in your browser. We do not receive your scraped data, do not see which websites you scrape, and do not run analytics on your datasets.

Data handled by the extension

• Scraped rows: stored locally in Chrome extension storage and IndexedDB.
• Scraper configurations: selectors, target URL, field names, pagination settings, and job state.
• License data for Pro users: email, license key, tier, and validation timestamp.

Data sent outside your browser

If you use the Free plan, scraped data does not leave your browser. If you buy Pro, Paddle processes payment information. License validation may send your email and license key to our license endpoint. That endpoint does not receive scraped rows or target website content.

When a Pro purchase is completed, our license server stores a license record: the purchase email, the license key, the Paddle transaction and subscription IDs, the plan, and whether the subscription is active. It is used to email you the key, validate it from the extension, keep it in sync with renewals and cancellations, and resend it if you use the key recovery page (keys are only ever sent to the purchase email).

Service providers

Paddle.com Market Ltd (payments, invoicing and taxes, as Merchant of Record); Cloudflare (hosting of this website and the license server, and cookieless website analytics); Resend (delivery of license emails). Each processes only the data needed for that task.

Permissions

The extension uses permissions such as activeTab, scripting, storage, downloads, alarms, notifications, and sidePanel to let you select elements, run jobs, store local results, export files, and receive status alerts. Optional host permissions are requested only when needed for recurring jobs or classic pagination.

Retention and deletion

Scraped data stays in your browser until you delete jobs, clear extension storage, or uninstall the extension. Billing records are retained by Paddle according to Paddle's legal and tax obligations. License records are kept while the subscription exists and for as long as needed for support, refunds and legal obligations; to have yours deleted, email support@sturdyscraper.com from the purchase email.

Website analytics and waitlist

This website (not the extension) uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not track you across sites, to count page views, referrers and countries. The checkout page also counts, per day, how many checkouts were opened, started, completed or closed; these counts carry no email, IP address or payment details. If you join the waitlist we store the email and use case you submit so we can contact you. The extension itself sends no analytics or usage data.

Contact

The data controller is Sebastián Martini, an individual based in Argentina.
