🔒 Our Privacy Commitment
TL;DR: DeviceRec does NOT collect, transmit, or store any of your data. All
recordings stay 100% on your device.
DeviceRec is built with privacy as its core principle. Unlike other screen recording tools, we don't
require accounts, don't use cloud storage, and don't track your usage.
📊 Data Collection
What We DON'T Collect
- Video recordings (they never leave your device)
- Audio from your microphone
- Screen content or browsing history
- Personal information or identifiers
- Usage analytics or telemetry
- IP addresses or location data
What We DO Store (Locally Only)
- Recording preferences: Your settings (like microphone toggle, zoom preference) are
stored locally in Chrome's storage
- License key: If you purchase Pro, your license key is stored locally to verify your
Pro status
All data stored uses Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.sync API, which syncs across your
Chrome browsers if you're signed in—but this data never goes to DeviceRec servers.
🔑 Permissions Explained
DeviceRec requests certain browser permissions to function. Here's exactly why:
- tabCapture: Required to capture the contents of your browser tab for recording
- offscreen: Needed to process video in the background while you work
- downloads: Allows saving your recordings directly to your computer
- storage: Stores your preferences locally
- activeTab: Enables the auto-zoom click tracking feature on the current page
- notifications: Notifies you when a recording is saved
We request only the minimum permissions needed and never use them for tracking or data collection.
🔗 Third-Party Services
The only external service DeviceRec connects to is LemonSqueezy (our payment processor)
when you:
- Click the "Purchase" button (opens their checkout page)
- Validate a license key (optional API call)
LemonSqueezy has its own privacy
policy. DeviceRec never receives or stores your payment information.
⚖️ Your Rights
Since we don't collect any personal data, there's nothing to request access to or delete. However, you
can:
- Clear all local extension data via Chrome's extension settings
- Uninstall the extension at any time
