How the SoftGlaze Recorder extension handles permissions, recordings, screenshots, and local processing.
The SoftGlaze Recorder extension is designed with a privacy-first approach. Its core function is to enable screen recording and related capture features while keeping user data under the user's control. SoftGlaze Recorder does not collect, store, or transmit your recordings, screenshots, browsing history, or personal content to SoftGlaze servers as part of its normal operation.
SoftGlaze Recorder is a local-first screen recording extension. It is intended to help users record screens, capture browser activity, and save outputs directly to their own device without routing those outputs through SoftGlaze infrastructure.
All video handling and processing is intended to occur locally in the browser environment using the user's own device resources. SoftGlaze does not ordinarily receive, host, review, or store the recordings created through the extension.
SoftGlaze Recorder is designed not to collect personal user data, screen recordings, screenshots, browsing history, or the content you capture during normal extension use.
Specifically, the extension does not ordinarily collect or transmit:
Where recording conversion, rendering, or file handling is required, the extension is intended to process that data locally within your browser using your own computer resources.
This means that features such as video handling or MP4 conversion are designed to happen on-device rather than through upload to a SoftGlaze server.
SoftGlaze Recorder is not built as a cloud recording platform. Its design principle is local capture, local processing, and local file ownership by the user.
The extension may request certain browser permissions in order to provide its core functionality. These permissions are used only for the features they support and are not intended to permit unrelated data collection.
Depending on the version and feature set of the extension, these permissions may include access related to:
Your recordings and screenshots are saved directly to your own device, typically in your browser's or operating system's designated download location, such as the Downloads folder.
SoftGlaze does not ordinarily have access to these files once they are created and saved on your device.
You are responsible for how you store, manage, share, or delete those files after they are created.
If the extension allows microphone or camera use, that access is used only when you deliberately enable it for a recording session.
When enabled:
Where host permissions are requested, they are used solely for extension functionality on pages you are working with, such as enabling drawing tools, overlays, capture-related controls, or visual interaction features on the page being recorded.
These permissions are not intended to be used for unrelated surveillance, profiling, or off-purpose monitoring of browsing activity.
SoftGlaze Recorder is not intended to collect or transmit your browsing history to SoftGlaze. Any access to the active page, browser tab, or site content is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the recording and overlay functionality of the extension.
The extension is not intended to build behavioural profiles, advertising profiles, or history-based user dossiers.
Because the extension is designed for local-only use, SoftGlaze does not ordinarily sell, rent, share, or disclose your recordings or captured content to third parties.
In ordinary extension operation, there is no routine collection of user recording files by SoftGlaze that could then be shared externally.
Because SoftGlaze Recorder is designed to keep recordings on the user's own device, the security of saved recordings is largely dependent on the security of the user's browser, device, operating system, local accounts, storage practices, and file-handling behaviour.
Users should take appropriate steps to protect their own device and stored files, including through:
SoftGlaze Recorder is not designed as a product specifically directed to children. SoftGlaze does not knowingly use the extension as a mechanism to collect personal data from children through remote storage or transmission in its normal operation.
