Data Handling

ScreenCraft is built with a privacy-first approach. We only store what's necessary to provide reliable service and give you full control over your data.

Overview

When you use ScreenCraft to capture screenshots or generate PDFs, data flows through our systems in a controlled manner. We've designed our infrastructure to minimize data retention while maintaining the reliability and debugging capabilities you need.

Our core principles:

• Minimal data collection: We only store what's essential for service operation
• Configurable retention: You control how long your data is kept
• No-store option: For maximum privacy, bypass storage entirely
• Transparent practices: Full visibility into what we collect and why

Data We Store

Here's a complete breakdown of what data we store and for how long:

What We DON'T Store

We explicitly do not store sensitive data that could compromise your security or the security of the pages you capture:

Retention by Plan

Data retention periods vary based on your subscription plan. Higher tiers get extended retention for files and metadata:

No-Store Mode

For maximum privacy, use the noStore option. When enabled, ScreenCraft returns the screenshot or PDF directly in the response without persisting anything to storage.

curl -X POST https://api.screencraftapi.com/v1/screenshots \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com", "noStore": true}'

With noStore: true:

• The screenshot/PDF is returned directly as binary data
• No file is saved to our CDN
• No download URL is generated
• Only basic request metadata is logged (for rate limiting)
• Nothing is visible in your dashboard history

Deleting Your Data

You have full control over your data and can delete it at any time.

Delete Individual Screenshots

Use the DELETE endpoint to remove a specific screenshot and its metadata:

curl -X DELETE https://api.screencraftapi.com/v1/screenshots/scr_abc123def456 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Screenshot deleted successfully"
}

Account Deletion

When you delete your account, we permanently remove:

• All stored screenshots and PDFs
• All request history and metadata
• API keys and authentication data
• Billing information and invoices
• Usage statistics and logs

To delete your account, go to Dashboard → Settings → Delete Account.
