Magic Scraper – Lead & Web Scraper to Excel by Magic Scraper
Magic Scraper — Privacy Policy (Firefox add-on)
Magic Scraper has no servers of its own, no account, no analytics and no telemetry. What it reads stays in your browser, and what it produces goes only where you send it.
WHAT IT READS
When you open it on a page, it reads that page's visible content (text, links and image addresses) to find the repeating rows and turn them into a table. If you turn on drill-down, it opens the pages your rows link to and reads them the same way. It does not read pages you have not pointed it at, does nothing in the background unless you start a run or set a schedule, and does not touch form fields, passwords or cookies.
WHAT IT STORES
Everything is kept in the add-on's own storage in your browser: your setup for each site, saved setups and schedules, rows from a crawl or drill-down so a long run survives a closed tab, up to five past runs of the same list (for the Changes tab), and a short log of recent errors with web addresses removed. No website can read it, and removing the add-on deletes all of it. Files you export (CSV, Excel, JSON) are saved to your downloads folder.
WHAT LEAVES YOUR COMPUTER
Detecting a table and exporting it make no network requests at all. While scraping, it requests only the pages you start it on: further pages of a list, the pages your rows link to, and the addresses you add to a list of pages. Your rows and the pages you visit are never sent to us.
Two things go further, both only with Pro and only when you start them, and Firefox asks your consent for each:
- Activating a licence key sends the key and our product ID to api.gumroad.com once, to confirm the purchase (authentication information). Nothing about your pages or data is sent, and it is not checked again.
- Send to webhook posts the rows you choose, with the page's address and title, the time and the add-on's version, to the https address you saved (website content). Nothing passes through a server of ours.
Installing the add-on opens magicscraper.app/welcome, and removing it opens magicscraper.app/goodbye, which asks an optional question. Neither receives anything you scraped.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
You remain responsible for respecting the terms of service, robots.txt and copyright of the sites you use it on, and for handling any personal data you collect lawfully.
