Screen scraping: A technique used to extract data from the display output of a program or system. It involves capturing data from a screen interface and converting it into structured datasets. While screen scraping can be used for legitimate purposes like data aggregation and legacy system integration, it can also pose privacy risks if used to harvest sensitive information without authorization.
