This policy page does not load site analytics.

Scope

This policy describes the ScreenSilo browser extension. ScreenSilo performs its recording work locally in your browser and does not require an account or upload service.

The website hosting this policy is separate from the extension. ScreenSilo does not load this website or any website analytics code.

Information ScreenSilo processes

ScreenSilo processes only the information needed to provide its recording features:

  • The visual content of the tab, window, or screen you explicitly select in the browser's screen-sharing prompt.
  • Microphone audio and system or tab audio when you explicitly enable those options and grant permission.
  • Recording metadata such as an internal identifier, creation time, duration, file type, file size, and completion status.
  • Minimal session-recovery state including recording mode, audio choices, timestamps, and internal identifiers.
  • Local diagnostic entries such as error messages, stack traces, internal identifiers, and recording state. Diagnostics do not contain recorded video or audio.

Local storage and retention

Recordings and recording metadata are stored in browser-managed IndexedDB on your device. Completed recordings remain there until you delete them from the preview or recordings page. Downloading a recording does not automatically delete the browser copy.

Minimal recovery state is stored locally so ScreenSilo can recover from a suspended service worker or interrupted recording. It is removed or replaced as the recording lifecycle completes.

ScreenSilo keeps a local rolling buffer of up to 500 diagnostic entries. You can view, export, or clear them from Diagnostics. Export occurs only when you choose it and creates a local file.

Data collection, transmission, and sharing

ScreenSilo does not transmit recordings, audio, metadata, diagnostics, browsing history, or personal information to the developer or external servers. It has no analytics, advertising, account, or cloud-upload service and does not sell or share user information with third parties.

No data leaves your device unless you choose to download, export, or share a file using software outside ScreenSilo.

Browser permissions

activeTab
Temporarily accesses the active tab after your action so recording controls can appear.
scripting
Injects and removes the small in-page Stop overlay.
offscreen
Keeps local capture and encoding active after the popup closes.
storage
Stores minimal recording-session recovery state locally.
alarms
Schedules local checkpoints and service-worker reconciliation.

ScreenSilo does not request broad host access such as <all_urls>.

User controls

You control when capture starts, which surface is shared, whether audio is included, and when capture stops. You can delete recordings individually and clear local diagnostics. Removing ScreenSilo also removes extension-managed local data according to your browser's uninstallation behavior.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

ScreenSilo's use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated if ScreenSilo's features or data practices change. The effective date identifies the latest revision.
