We don't collect anything.

What we collect
Nothing. The extension and (in the future) the macOS app are designed to work without a backend. We don't operate any servers that receive your data.
What stays on your device
- The frames you extract are held in your browser's memory during a session. When you close the recorder, they're discarded.
- Your preferences (last-used duration preset, frame cap) are stored locally via
chrome.storage.local. They never leave your machine. - Anything you save as PNG or copy to the clipboard goes wherever you put it — that's between you and your operating system.
Permissions and why they exist
The Chrome extension asks for these permissions. Each one is in service of the single thing the extension does:
- desktopCapture — to show Chrome's native screen picker so you can choose what to record.
- clipboardWrite — to copy the assembled frame grid (or a single frame) to your clipboard for pasting into an LLM.
- storage — to remember your preferred duration and crop settings between sessions.
- scripting + activeTab — to inject the floating recorder widget into the tab you're currently on, only when you click the toolbar icon. No background access to other tabs.
Third parties
None. The extension doesn't load remote scripts, fonts, analytics, or any other third-party resource.
Cookies, tracking, fingerprinting
The extension sets no cookies and runs no tracking code. The website at videocontext.app is static HTML — no cookies, no analytics, no third-party embeds.
Children's privacy
The product is intended for general audiences. Because we collect no information at all, no information is collected from children either.
Changes
If anything ever changes — for example, if a future opt-in feature adds optional cloud sync — this page will be updated and existing users will see the change inside the extension before any new data flow is enabled.
