Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

🔒 Privacy First

screenclip.fast is designed with privacy at its core. All screen recording and processing happens locally in your browser. We don't have access to your screen content, and nothing is uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly choose to create a shareable link.

How screenclip.fast Works

screenclip.fast is a Chrome browser extension that enables retroactive screen capture. Here's how it operates:

  • Background Buffer: The extension silently runs in the background, keeping a rolling buffer of up to the last 2 minutes of your active browser tab's screen activity.
  • Local Processing: All buffering and processing happens entirely within your browser. The video data never leaves your device.
  • On-Demand Capture: When you click the Clip button, your recent screen activity is captured instantly.
  • Export Options: You can export clips as WebM video format for easy sharing.

Data We Collect

We collect minimal data:

  • Screen Recordings: Stored temporarily in your browser's local memory only. We never have access to this data.
  • Device Identifier: When you activate a Pro license, we generate a random device ID to manage license activations across your devices (up to 2 devices per license). This ID is a random string and is not linked to your personal identity or browsing activity.
  • License Information: For Pro users, we store your license key activation status and associated email address for license management and support.
  • Usage Count: We track the number of clips created locally to enforce free tier limits. This count stays on your device.

Data We Don't Collect

  • We never see, access, or store the contents of your screen recordings
  • We don't track which websites you visit
  • We don't collect any personal browsing data
  • We don't sell any data to third parties

Browser Permissions

screenclip.fast requires the following browser permissions to function:

  • Tab Capture: To record the visual content of your active browser tab
  • Clipboard Write: To copy clips directly to your clipboard
  • Storage: To save your preferences and settings locally

These permissions are used solely for the core functionality described above.

Data Security

We take security seriously:

  • All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
  • Shared clips are stored with encryption at rest
  • We use industry-standard security practices
  • Local buffer data is automatically cleared when you close your browser

Your Rights

You have full control over your data:

  • Delete any shared clips at any time
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Export your data upon request
  • Uninstall the extension to completely stop all data collection
