Privacy Policy

At Pixxy, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website (pixxyapp.com) and Chrome extension. By using Pixxy, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Chrome Extension

The Pixxy Chrome extension captures screenshots of your browser tabs entirely locally on your device. Screenshots are not transmitted to our servers or any third party. All image processing, including area selection and cropping, happens within your browser. The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data, browsing history, or usage analytics.

Website

When you use the Pixxy website, we may collect:

• Account information: If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google OAuth.
• Screenshots: When you capture a website screenshot via our API, the image is temporarily stored using presigned URLs that expire after 4 hours. We do not permanently store your screenshots.
• Usage data: We may collect anonymous usage data such as page views and feature usage to improve the service.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the Pixxy service
• To authenticate your account via Google OAuth
• To temporarily process screenshots for editing
• To improve and optimize the platform
• To communicate important updates about the service

Data Security

We take appropriate security measures to protect your information. All API routes are protected with CSRF validation, rate limiting, and SSRF protection. Screenshots captured through the Chrome extension never leave your device. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google OAuth: For user authentication
• Cloud storage: For temporary screenshot storage (presigned URLs, 4-hour expiry)
• Unsplash: For background images (subject to Unsplash's own privacy policy)
• Sentry: For error tracking and monitoring

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Opt out of any marketing communications
• Uninstall the Chrome extension at any time, which immediately removes all extension-related data from your browser

Children's Privacy

Pixxy is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
