This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains the information collection, use, and sharing practices of Browser Recorder ("we," "us," and "our").

Unless otherwise stated, this Policy describes and governs the information collection, use, and sharing practices of Browser Recorder with respect to your use of our Chrome browser extension for screen and audio recording ("Services") we provide and/or host on our servers.

Before you use or submit any information through or in connection with the Services, please carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using any part of the Services, you understand that your information will be collected, used, and disclosed as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to this privacy policy, please do not use our Services.

Our Principles

Browser Recorder has designed this policy to be consistent with the following principles:

• Privacy policies should be human readable and easy to find.
• Data collection, storage, and processing should be simplified as much as possible to enhance security, ensure consistency, and make the practices easy for users to understand.
• Data practices should meet the reasonable expectations of users.

Information We Collect

We collect information in multiple ways, including when you provide information directly to us; when we passively collect information from you, such as from your browser or device; and from third parties.

Information You Provide Directly to Us

We will collect any information you provide to us. We may collect information from you in a variety of ways, such as when you: (a) contact us or provide feedback, or (b) subscribe to our newsletter. This information may include but is not limited to your name, email address, and your geographic location.

Information that Is Automatically Collected

Device/Usage Information

We may automatically collect certain information about the computer or devices (including mobile devices or tablets) you use to access the Services. As described further below, we may collect and analyze (a) device information such as IP addresses, location information (by country and city), unique device identifiers, IMEI and TCP/IP address, browser types, browser language, operating system, mobile device carrier information, and (b) information related to the ways in which you interact with the Services, such as referring and exit web pages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the order of those pages, statistical information about the use of the Services, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time you used the Services, the frequency of your use of the Services, error logs, and other similar information. As described further below, we may use third-party analytics providers and technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting this information.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We also collect data about your use of the Services through the use of Internet server logs and online tracking technologies, like cookies and/or tracking pixels. A web server log is a file where website activity is stored. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer when you visit a website, that enables us to: (a) recognize your computer; (b) store your preferences and settings; (c) understand the web pages of the Services you have visited and the referral sites that have led you to our Services; (d) enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to your inferred interests; (e) perform searches and analytics; and (f) assist with security administrative functions. Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads and/or email, and that are designed to provide usage information like ad impressions or clicks, measure popularity of the Services and associated advertising, and to access user cookies.

Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the "Help" section of your browser for more information. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Services.

Information from Third Parties

To the extent permitted by law, we may also collect information from third parties, including public sources, social media platforms, and marketing and market research firms. Depending on the source, this information collected from third parties could include name, contact information, demographic information, information about an individual's employer, information to verify identity or trustworthiness, and information for other fraud or safety protection purposes.

Data We DO NOT Collect

Browser Recorder is designed with privacy as a core principle. We want to be clear about what we don't do:

• We do not collect, store, or transmit your recordings to our servers
• We do not track your browsing history or activity
• We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties for marketing purposes

Data That Stays Local

All recordings and processing happen entirely on your device:

• Screen recordings are processed and stored locally on your computer
• Audio recordings (microphone and system sound) remain on your device
• Extension settings and preferences are stored locally in your browser
• All editing and processing of recordings occurs on your device

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect from and about you to:

• Fulfill the purposes for which you provided it.
• Provide and improve the Services, including to develop new features or services, take steps to secure the Services, and for technical and customer support.
• Send you information about your interaction or transactions with us, account alerts, or other communications, such as newsletters to which you have subscribed.
• Process and respond to your inquiries or to request your feedback.
• Conduct analytics, research, and reporting, including to synthesize and derive insights from your use of our Services.
• Comply with the law and protect the safety, rights, property, or security of Browser Recorder, the Services, our users, and the general public; and

When We Disclose Your Information

We may disclose and/or share your information under the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We may disclose your information with third parties who perform services on our behalf, including without limitation, event management, marketing, customer support, data storage, data analysis and processing, and legal services.

Legal Compliance and Protection

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or on a good faith belief that such disclosure is permitted by this Privacy Policy or reasonably necessary or appropriate for any of the following reasons: (a) to comply with legal process; (b) to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, or other contracts with you, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) to respond to your requests for customer service; and/or (d) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Browser Recorder, our agents and affiliates, our users, and the public.

Chrome Extension Permissions

Browser Recorder requires certain Chrome permissions to function. Here's what each permission is used for:

• Display Capture: Required to record your screen, specific tabs, or application windows
• Audio Capture: Required to record microphone input and system audio
• Camera (Optional): Only used if you enable the webcam overlay feature
• Storage: Used to save your extension settings and preferences locally
• Downloads: Required to save your recordings to your chosen location

These permissions are only used for their stated purposes and never to collect or transmit data about you or your activities beyond what is described in this Privacy Policy.

Security Measures

We have implemented technical, physical, and organizational security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information since despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.

Your recordings and data are stored exclusively on your local device. We recommend following best security practices on your own device, such as using encryption and secure passwords, to protect your locally stored recordings.

Important User Responsibilities

While using Browser Recorder, please be aware of your responsibilities:

• Always obtain proper consent before recording others in meetings or calls

• Follow your organization's policies regarding recording of work-related content
• Be mindful of privacy laws in your jurisdiction
