Privacy
How ScreenLeX handles screenshots, recognized text, early access details, and optional connected services.
Local-first processing
ScreenLeX is designed to process screenshots locally on your Mac wherever possible, including redaction, OCR, framing, beautification, capture, editing, and export.
Screenshot images are not uploaded to ScreenLeX servers for redaction, beautification, or export.
Redaction detection and masking are performed on device before you copy, export, or share a screenshot.
Translation and AI services
When you choose Apple Translation on supported macOS versions, translation can run locally on your Mac.
When you choose ScreenLexAI hosted translation, ScreenLeX sends the recognized text from your screenshot, along with the selected source and target language settings, to the ScreenLeX translation service at api.screenlex.cc.
When you configure your own third-party translation or AI provider, the recognized text is sent to that provider under the terms and privacy policy of the provider you choose.
Use local Apple Translation for screenshots that contain text you do not want to send to a hosted or third-party translation service.
Translation caching
ScreenLeX hosted translation may cache translation results to improve performance, reduce duplicate requests, and keep the service reliable.
Avoid using hosted translation for highly sensitive text unless you are comfortable with that text being processed by the ScreenLeX translation service.
Early access communications
If you join the early access list, ScreenLeX uses your email address to send product access and release updates.
You can request removal from the early access list at any time through customer support.
Third-party services
Optional workflows may depend on services that you configure, including translation or AI providers. Their use is governed by the terms and privacy policies of those providers.
