Privacy Policy for ScreenCap Pro

 

🔒  Privacy Policy ScreenCap Pro — Chrome Extension Effective Date: February 23, 2026

 

✅  Zero Data Collection Summary ScreenCap Pro does not collect, store, transmit, or share any user data. All screenshots and recordings are saved exclusively to your local device. No servers. No accounts. No tracking.

 

01  Overview

 

ScreenCap Pro is a Chrome browser extension that provides two core functions: one-click screenshot capture and full-featured screen/tab/webcam video recording. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices in full.

We have designed this extension from the ground up to be entirely local — your captures never leave your device, and we have no ability to access them.

 

02  Data We Do Not Collect

 

ScreenCap Pro does not collect, process, transmit, or retain any of the following categories of data:

 

•      Personally identifiable information — name, email address, age, or identification number

•      Health or medical information

•      Financial or payment information

•      Authentication credentials — passwords, PINs, or security questions

•      Personal communications — emails, text messages, or chat logs

•      Location data — GPS coordinates, IP address, or region

•      Web browsing history or visited URLs

•      User activity — mouse position, clicks, keystrokes, or scroll data

•      Website content — text, images, sounds, videos, or hyperlinks from any page

•      Screenshots or recordings you capture

 

03  How the Extension Works

 

All processing occurs locally on your device. Below is a precise breakdown of each feature:

 

3.1  Screenshot Capture

•      Screenshots are taken using Chrome's built-in chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab API.

•      Captured images are saved directly to your local Downloads folder.

•      No image data is uploaded, cached remotely, or transmitted in any way.

 

3.2  Video Recording

•      Recordings use Chrome's MediaRecorder API, processed entirely in the browser.

•      Video data is held temporarily in browser memory during the active session only.

•      When recording stops, the file is saved directly to your local Downloads folder.

•      No video stream is uploaded, broadcast, or sent to any external endpoint.

 

3.3  Settings & Preferences

•      Preferences such as capture source, audio toggles, quality, and format are saved locally via Chrome's chrome.storage API.

•      These settings remain on your device and are never synced to any external server.

 

3.4  Cursor Highlight Overlay

•      When enabled, a visual ring is drawn around your cursor during recordings for presentation clarity.

•      This is a purely visual overlay — no page content is read, extracted, or transmitted.

 

04  Chrome Permissions & Justification

 

The following table lists every permission requested by ScreenCap Pro and the precise reason it is necessary:

 

Permission	Why It Is Required
tabCapture	Captures audio and video from a specific browser tab when the user selects Tab as the recording source.
activeTab	Takes a screenshot of the currently visible tab when the user clicks Take Screenshot.
tabs	Identifies the correct browser window for screenshot capture (popup runs in its own window context).
storage	Saves user preferences locally on-device. No data leaves the device.
offscreen	Runs MediaRecorder in a persistent background document so recording continues when the popup is closed.
downloads	Saves completed screenshots and recordings to the user's local Downloads folder.
Host (<all_urls>)	Injects the cursor highlight overlay onto any active page during recording. No page data is read or collected.

 

05  No Third-Party Services

 

ScreenCap Pro does not integrate with, transmit data to, or use any third-party service of any kind, including:

 

•      Analytics or telemetry platforms (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc.)

•      Advertising networks or ad exchanges

•      Cloud storage or file-hosting services

•      Remote APIs, backend servers, or data brokers

•      Crash reporting or error monitoring services

 

The extension makes zero outbound network requests during normal operation.

 

06  Data Retention

 

Since ScreenCap Pro does not collect any user data, there is nothing for us to retain. The only data that exists is:

 

•      Your screenshots and recordings — stored in your local Downloads folder, managed entirely by you.

•      Your settings preferences — stored in your browser's local storage, cleared when you uninstall the extension.

 

07  Children's Privacy

 

ScreenCap Pro is a general-purpose productivity tool not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from any user, regardless of age. Since no data is collected at all, this policy applies equally to all users.

 

08  Your Rights

 

Because ScreenCap Pro collects no personal data, there is no personal information held by us to access, correct, export, or delete. You retain full ownership and control of everything you capture:

 

•      Your files are yours — saved to your own device in your Downloads folder.

•      You can delete them at any time by deleting the files from your device.

•      Uninstalling the extension removes all locally stored settings.

 

09  Changes to This Policy

 

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be reflected by an updated "Effective Date" at the top of this document. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Because we collect no user data, no policy change will ever affect your personal information.
