ListoMagic Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2, 2026
ListoMagic ("the extension", "we") is a Chrome extension for taking screenshots of web pages and, when you choose, translating the text in those images or remaking them with AI. We built it so that your data stays on your own computer. This policy explains exactly what the extension handles and where it goes.
1. The short version
- We do not run servers that receive your screenshots, your pages or your API key.
- We do not collect analytics, track your browsing or sell any data.
- Screenshots and settings are stored only in your browser on your device.
- Only when you press an AI button (AI translate or make image) is the image you selected sent directly from your browser to Google's Gemini API, using your own API key.
2. What the extension handles
- Screenshots of the page you are viewing. Captured only when you press a capture button, shortcut or menu item. They are kept in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB) and in files you save to your own computer.
- Text read from images. The free text reading (OCR, using Tesseract) and the free translation (Chrome's built-in translator) run entirely on your device.
- Your Gemini API key, if you choose to add one. It is stored only in your browser (chrome.storage.local) and is sent only to Google's Gemini API to authorize your own requests.
- Settings and a local error log (for example: language, save folder choice, install date for the rating reminder, the last 50 error messages). These stay on your device. The error log leaves your device only if you copy it and send it to us yourself.
3. Data shared with third parties
When, and only when, you use an AI feature, the selected image and your instructions are sent from your browser to Google Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) with your API key. Google processes that request under its own terms and privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms. Any cost for that request is billed by Google to your own Google account.
If you click "open in Google Translate", a normal Google Translate web page opens with the text you chose. Nothing else is shared with anyone.
4. What we do not do
- We do not sell or transfer user data to third parties, other than the Google Gemini requests you start yourself as described above.
- We do not use or transfer user data for purposes unrelated to the extension's single purpose.
- We do not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
- We do not read pages in the background. The extension only acts on a tab when you start a capture.
5. Keeping and deleting your data
Everything is kept on your device until you delete it. You can delete saved images in the extension's workbench, clear the error log with one button, or remove everything by uninstalling the extension.
6. Children
The extension is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.
7. Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above. If a future version handles data in a new way, we will say so here before it is released.
