WebScrapBook does not collect your personal information. However, the web page you specified to capture may contain your personal information and be saved as-is, and you are responsible to make sure it's what you want.
WebScrapBook does not send a web request actively except for accessing the web resources specified to capture by the user and for communicating with the backend server configured by the user. A web request for accessing a web resource simulates the behavior of the corresponding normal browsing and no additional information is transferred.
The backend server can be any application that implements a conforming API, which can usually be set up using PyWebScrapBook, the sister application of WebScrapBook which is fully open source and never collects personal data or sends a web request.
