The following outlines specific policies for this site.
App Information Collection and Usage
Screen Recording: Grab2Text utilizes screen recording to enable users to select specific screen areas for text recognition. The application uses the Apple Vision framework to capture screenshots of the selected areas and recognize text within them. No data collected through screen recording is transmitted to external servers. The extracted text is directly placed into the device’s clipboard.
Data Collection
Collected Information: Grab2Text collects screen recordings exclusively for text extraction purposes. The application does not store or utilize screenshots; it promptly processes text and places it in the clipboard.
Purpose of Collection: The primary purpose of collecting screen recordings is to facilitate users in selecting and copying text from their screens. The app does not use or store this information for any other purposes.
Third-Party Sharing: Grab2Text does not share any user information, including screen recordings or extracted text, with third parties. All data remains on the user’s device.
Storage Location: A history of the last 10 extracted text snippets is stored locally on the device using user defaults. This snippet history is solely for user convenience, allowing them to access recently used text within the application.
User Control and Transparency: Users have complete control over the data collected by Grab2Text. The application respects user privacy by not sharing any information with external servers or third parties. Users can manage and delete their snippet history within the app.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
