Reclux Privacy Policy
Short version: Reclux does not collect, send or sell any of your data. Everything stays on your device.
What Reclux handles
| What | Where it stays |
|---|---|
| The picture of your screen, a window or a tab, and the microphone or system sound you choose to record | Written to your browser's private storage on your own computer, then to the folder you pick when you press Save file |
| Your choices (what to record, quality, format, microphone on or off) | Saved in your browser's local storage on your own computer |
| Computer load (CPU use) and frames per second | Read while recording, only to show a warning. Not stored, not sent |
| Free disk space | Read while recording, only to show a warning. Not stored, not sent |
What Reclux does not do
- No account or sign-in
- No uploading of recordings or any other data
- No analytics, ads, tracking or cookies
- No third-party services
- No network requests of any kind. It works with the internet switched off
Your permission, every time
Your browser asks you before Reclux can capture the screen, a window, a tab or the microphone. Reclux only records while you have started a recording.
Why Reclux asks for its permissions
| Permission | Reason |
|---|---|
| downloads | Shows the "Save as" window, so you can choose the folder or drive for the finished recording |
| unlimitedStorage | Lets a long recording be written to the browser's private storage while you record |
| system.cpu | Reads how busy the computer is, only to warn you that it is too slow to keep up (Chrome, Brave, Edge and Opera) |
| power | Keeps the computer awake while a recording is running (Chrome, Brave, Edge and Opera) |
Deleting your data
- Unsaved recordings: press Discard or Delete in Reclux.
- Saved files: they are normal files in the folder you chose. Delete them like any other file.
- Settings: removed when you uninstall Reclux or clear the extension's data.
Children
Reclux is a general tool. It does not collect any data from anyone, including children.
