Privacy Policy

DragonMeow MangaTranslator Chrome Extension  |  Effective: 2025-01-01

Summary

This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to the developer or any third party.

What the extension does

• Injects a floating button on web pages so the user can select a manga image to translate.
• Captures a screenshot of the selected area and sends it to a locally running translation server on the user's own computer (http://127.0.0.1:8501). The image never leaves the user's machine.
• Displays the translated result in-place on the page.

Data stored locally

The following data is saved only in the user's own browser (chrome.storage.local) and is never sent anywhere:

• UI preferences (bubble size, color, label, position)
• AI provider settings entered by the user (API base URL, provider name, target language)
• Translated image cache (base64 PNG thumbnails) to avoid re-translating the same page

Permissions explained

• storage / unlimitedStorage – saves preferences and translation cache locally in the browser.
• tabs – captures a screenshot of the active tab so the selected image area can be cropped and sent to the local server.
• scripting – re-injects the content script after the extension is updated, so users don't need to refresh the page manually.
• <all_urls> – manga is hosted on many different domains; the extension must be able to run on any site the user chooses.

Third-party services

No data is sent to the extension developer or any third party. If the user configures an external AI provider (e.g. Google Gemini), images are sent to that provider's API directly from the user's local server — not via this extension.

Children's privacy

This extension is not directed at children under 13.

Changes to this policy

Any updates will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date.
