Summary

The plugin does not collect or send any data about you or your PC. When you press its key and select part of the screen (or press a Read Fixed Area key), it reads the text in that part of the screen on your PC with the text recognition built into Windows, and puts the text on your clipboard. It has no account, no online service, no analytics and no telemetry. Text leaves your PC only if you turn on Also open in Google Translate, and then only to Google Translate in your own browser.

This website (Google Analytics)

The plugin itself has no analytics. The product pages on gramshift.com (the English and the Japanese page; not this privacy page or the support page) use Google Analytics to count visits: which page was opened, from which site or search, and the browser's general location and device type. Advertising cookies and ad personalization are always off. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the analytics cookie is set only after you choose Accept on the small banner at the bottom of the page; until then, or if you choose Decline, Google receives only cookieless signals without an ID. Elsewhere the pages set the analytics cookie when they open. Your choice is kept in your browser (local storage) so the banner does not come back; clear this site's data to choose again. Google processes this data on our behalf and GRAMSHIFT is the controller; we rely on your consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and elsewhere on our legitimate interest in knowing how visitors find these pages. To refuse, choose Decline on the banner, block cookies for gramshift.com in your browser, or use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

(日本語)プラグイン本体には解析の仕組みはありません。gramshift.com の商品ページ(英語と日本語のページ。このプライバシーページとサポートページは除く)では、訪問を数えるために Google アナリティクスを使っています。集めるのは、開いたページ・どのサイトや検索から来たか・ブラウザのおおよその地域と端末の種類です。広告の Cookie と広告のパーソナライズは常に無効です。EEA・英国・スイスでは、ページ下の小さな帯で「許可」を選んだ時だけ解析の Cookie を保存します(それまでと「拒否」を選んだ時は、ID を含まない Cookie なしの信号だけが Google に届きます)。それ以外の地域では、ページを開いた時に解析の Cookie を保存します。選んだ結果はブラウザ(ローカルストレージ)に残り、帯は再び出ません。選び直すにはこのサイトのデータを消してください。データは Google が当方の委託で処理し、管理者は GRAMSHIFT です(根拠は EEA・英国・スイスでは同意、それ以外では訪問者がページをどう見つけたかを知る当方の正当な利益)。断るには、帯で「拒否」を選ぶか、ブラウザで gramshift.com の Cookie をブロックするか、Google アナリティクス オプトアウト アドオンを使ってください。

Purchases

The plugin is sold on the Elgato Marketplace. Purchases, payments and licenses are handled by Elgato (Corsair) and its payment provider under Elgato's own terms and privacy policy. GRAMSHIFT never receives card details. If Elgato provides us with sales records (for example the date, country and amount of a sale), we use them only for accounting and tax.

Support requests

If you contact us, we receive what you choose to send (for example your email address, your message and any screenshots). We use it only to answer you. Email to contact@gramshift.com is forwarded by our email forwarding provider (ImprovMX) to a mailbox hosted by Google (Gmail), so those providers process support emails on our behalf.

Our role and legal basis

The plugin works only as a tool on your own computer: GRAMSHIFT does not receive or process anything from it. For sales records and support emails, GRAMSHIFT is the controller. We rely on our legitimate interest in answering requests and on legal obligations (for example tax records). GRAMSHIFT is based in Japan, so this information is processed in Japan and by the providers named above.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or object to its use, by emailing contact@gramshift.com. If you are in the EEA or the UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Retention and deletion

The plugin keeps nothing of its own except its key settings and log file, on your PC. Uninstalling it from the Stream Deck app removes them. Support emails are kept only as long as needed to handle the request and meet legal obligations; you can ask us to delete them. Sales records are kept for up to 7 years for accounting and tax.

Changes

If the plugin ever starts to send or store other data, this policy will be updated before that change is released, and the date above will change.
