Privacy policy

Data we collect

None. ReelCap does not collect, store on any server, transmit, share, or sell any personal data, browsing history, recordings, microphone audio, or camera video. There is no sign-in, no analytics, and no telemetry. Every recording you make is captured, composited, and encoded locally on your own device. Settings are stored locally in your browser via the standard extension storage and never leave your machine.

Permissions and why they are needed

tabCapture

Captures the rendered video (and optional audio) of the active tab you choose to record. It only starts on an explicit action by you.

offscreen

Runs an offscreen document, the only MV3 context allowed to use `getUserMedia` and `MediaRecorder`, to grab the stream, mix audio, composite the canvas, and encode the WEBM file.

activeTab

Grants one-time access to the current tab only when you start a recording, so its stream can be captured.

scripting

Injects the self-drawn cursor and click-ripple overlay into the page being recorded on demand. ReelCap does not run a persistent content script.

tabs

Reads the active tab's title/URL to name the recording and route the finished clip to the local preview page.

storage

Persists your settings and the recording state so an in-progress recording survives the service worker being recycled.

unlimitedStorage

Lets long recordings be buffered locally in IndexedDB without hitting the small default storage quota.

downloads

Saves the finished WEBM video to your Downloads folder.

Host access (<all_urls>)

Required so the highlighted cursor and click ripples can be drawn on whatever page you record. Access happens only when you start a recording; ReelCap does not run a persistent content script and reads no page content.

Microphone and camera are not requested in the manifest. They are granted at runtime through the browser's standard `getUserMedia` prompt, only if you enable them, and the streams are mixed/composited locally and never transmitted.

Where your recordings live

A finished recording is written to your browser's local IndexedDB so the preview tab can play it back, and it is saved to your own Downloads folder when you click download. Nothing is uploaded: ReelCap has no server to upload to. Discarding a recording in the preview tab deletes it from local storage.

Remote code

ReelCap does not load or execute any remote code. All JavaScript and WebAssembly are bundled in the extension package.
