This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how ikai design ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes information in connection with (a) the marketing website for Simple Screen Recorder (the "Site"), and (b) the Simple Screen Recorder browser extension distributed through the Chrome Web Store (the "Extension"). Together, the Site and Extension are referred to as the "Services."
By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Capitalized terms used in this Policy and not defined here have the meaning given in our Terms of Service.
Not legal advice. This Policy is provided for transparency. It does not create rights for third parties and is not a substitute for professional advice. Laws vary by jurisdiction; consult qualified counsel for obligations specific to your situation.
For purposes of applicable data protection law, the controller responsible for personal data processed in connection with the Services is:
The Extension is designed so that screen recordings and exports are handled locally on your device for the core workflow. We do not operate a default cloud pipeline that receives your finished recordings merely because you used the Extension. Certain technical signals and limited metadata may still be processed (for example, through Chrome, update mechanisms, or support correspondence you initiate). The Site may process standard server and analytics data as described below.
Depending on how you interact with us, we may process:
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") applies — including when you are in the Netherlands or elsewhere in the European Economic Area (EEA) — we process personal data on the bases listed below. In the Netherlands, the GDPR is supplemented by national rules, including the Uitvoeringswet AVG (Dutch GDPR implementation act) where relevant to enforcement and procedural aspects.
Where the UK GDPR applies, we rely on comparable lawful bases under UK law.
We rely on one or more of the following:
Processors. Where we use hosting, email, analytics, or similar providers, they act as processors on our instructions under Article 28 GDPR (or equivalent UK rules), unless they determine purposes and means as a separate controller (for example, Google for Chrome Web Store account processes).
Simple Screen Recorder uses Chrome APIs to capture tab or screen content you expressly choose to record and to provide editing and export features. For the default workflow, encoding and export (including use of bundled components such as FFmpeg.wasm where available) occur in your browser environment. We do not receive a copy of your recording merely because you exported it locally.
The Extension may inject limited scripts on pages you record for accuracy of zoom-to-cursor behavior. Those mechanisms are used for capture functionality, not for building an advertising profile of your browsing across sites.
The Extension requests only permissions reasonably necessary for its stated features (for example, active tab / desktop capture, storage of user preferences, and host access consistent with Chrome Web Store disclosures). If you revoke permissions, certain features will not function. You may uninstall the Extension at any time via Chrome's extension manager, which stops further processing by the Extension on your device.
We may share information with:
We do not sell personal information as a conventional "sale" for monetary consideration.
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, unless a longer period is required by law. Support emails are retained according to operational needs and legal hold requirements. Server logs, if collected, are rotated on a schedule consistent with security monitoring. Extension recordings remain under your control on your device unless you transmit them elsewhere.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information we process. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; you use the Services at your own risk subject to our Terms.
If you access the Services from outside the country where we operate, your information may be transferred across borders. For transfers from the EEA (including the Netherlands) or the UK to countries not subject to an adequacy decision, we use appropriate safeguards under GDPR Chapter V / UK GDPR (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or UK ICO, plus supplementary measures where required). Contact us for more detail on transfers relevant to you.
Depending on your location, you may have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to certain processing, including in some contexts to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. To exercise rights, contact us using the email in Section 2. We may verify your request as permitted by law.
Netherlands and EEA. If you are in the Netherlands or another EEA country, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The Dutch supervisory authority is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), Postbus 93374, 2509 AJ Den Haag, Netherlands — autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl. You may instead contact the supervisory authority in your habitual residence or place of work.
Automated decision-making (Article 22 GDPR). We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
California. California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA (including knowing, deleting, and opting out of certain sharing). We describe our practices in this Policy; submit requests via the contact channel on the Site.
The Services are not directed to children under 16 (or the age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have received such information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
We may use strictly necessary cookies for Site operation. Where we use optional analytics or marketing cookies, we will seek consent if required by law. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version with an updated effective date. If changes are material and legally required, we will provide additional notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance unless applicable law requires express consent.
