What FlashDoc Does NOT Do
- Does not track your browsing
- Does not upload files to servers
- Does not require an account
How it works: FlashDoc reads your current text selection only when you trigger an action (button click, context menu, or keyboard shortcut). The extension never monitors your activity or scans page content.
