Privacy Policy — SERP Scraper

Last updated: September 5, 2026

SERP Scraper is a Chrome extension that reads the search results shown on a Google or Bing search results page you are already viewing (title, URL, description, breadcrumb) and lets you export that data to an Excel file. This page explains what data the extension touches, where it goes, and what it does not do.

Summary

The extension does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data.
All scraped data stays locally on your device, in Chrome's built-in extension storage.
Nothing is sent to any external server, and the developer has no access to your data.
The extension only reads content from public search results pages you are actively viewing — it does not read pages outside Google or Bing search results.

What data the extension reads

When you click "Scrape this page" or run auto-scrape, the extension reads only what is visibly displayed on the current Google or Bing search results page:

Result titles
Result landing page URLs
Result descriptions/snippets
Result breadcrumbs
The search query and page number, taken from the page's own URL

It does not read anything from pages that are not Google/Bing search results, and it does not read personal browsing history, form inputs, passwords, cookies, or content from any other tab.

Where the data is stored

Scraped results are stored using Chrome's storage.local API, which keeps data only on your own device, tied to your browser profile. This data:

Is never transmitted to the developer or any third party
Is never uploaded to any server — there is no backend for this extension
Stays on your device until you click "Clear results" or remove the extension
Is only used to build the Excel file you export locally, directly in your browser

Permissions used and why

Permission	Why it's needed
`storage`	Save scraped results and auto-scrape progress locally on your device.
`activeTab`	Read the search results on the tab you're currently viewing when you click the extension.
`scripting`	Run the scraper script on the current Google/Bing results page.
`downloads`	Save the generated Excel file to your computer.
`notifications`	Let you know when an auto-scrape run (pages 1–10) has finished, even if the popup is closed.
Host access to `google.com` and `bing.com`	Required so the extension can read result content and move between result pages during auto-scrape.

Third parties

SERP Scraper does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services. No data is shared with any third party, because no data ever leaves your device.

Children's privacy

This extension is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone.
