browsershot1. Personal data we collect
Personal data is information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you. The data we receive depends on how you interact with us.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes technical information needed to deliver and protect this website. This can include your IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps, referring URLs, and security or diagnostic logs.
The website has no account system, contact forms, or advertising trackers. Cloudflare processes request metadata at its edge to provide server-side traffic analytics and security diagnostics. We do not ask you to submit personal data to use the site.
Information you provide
If you contact us or participate in the project through GitHub, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your GitHub username, email address, messages, bug reports, code, and other content. GitHub handles that information under its own privacy statement.
Information processed by the command-line tool
Browsershot is installed and run locally. Captures, page content, browser errors, and authentication details are processed in your environment. The project website does not receive that information.
2. How we use personal data
We and our service providers use personal data only as needed to:
- Provide, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
- Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
- Respond to questions, support requests, and project contributions.
- Comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
- Understand and improve the project using information you choose to submit.
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our legal bases include our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website and project, taking steps you request, complying with legal obligations, and consent where required. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing.
5. Retention and security
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including security, support, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Retention periods vary with the type and purpose of the data. Public project contributions may remain in repository history, archives, or copies maintained by others.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information involved. No internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed to be completely secure.
6. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a portable copy of your personal data. You may also have the right to object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent, and opt out of certain disclosures. These rights may be subject to legal exceptions.
To make a request, use the project contact page. Do not post sensitive information publicly; ask for a private contact method if needed. We may need enough information to verify your request. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
