Privacy policy

Effective 14 November 2026

Snapreel is a Chrome extension that records your browser tab, a part of a page, your screen or your camera, and takes screenshots. This policy explains what happens to your data when you use it.

The short version

Snapreel has no servers and no accounts.
Snapreel does not collect, sell or share any personal data, browsing activity, recordings or screenshots.
Your recordings and screenshots stay in your browser on your device until you choose to download, copy, share or upload them.

Screen, camera and microphone

Snapreel records your tab, screen, camera and microphone only after you start a recording, and stops when you stop it. Chrome shows its own indicator while capture is running. Camera and microphone access is used only for the recording you start.

Where your recordings are stored

Recordings, screenshots and your Snapreel settings are stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB and Chrome extension storage) on your device. They are not sent to the developer or to any other party.

When data leaves your device

Only when you do it yourself:

Download, copy or share. Saving a file, copying an image or video, or sharing it is up to you.
Upload to YouTube. When you click “Upload to YouTube”, Snapreel opens YouTube Studio in your browser and attaches that recording to YouTube’s own upload form, under the YouTube account you are signed in to. Nothing is published until you press Publish there. Uploading is covered by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Snapreel itself does not receive or keep a copy.

Permissions

Snapreel asks Chrome for permissions such as tab capture, access to the pages you record (to show the recording controls, camera bubble and drawing tools on the page) and downloads. These are used only to provide the recording and screenshot features you start, never to read or collect the content of the websites you visit.

Analytics and tracking

Snapreel contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code, and does not load code from the internet. This website does not use cookies or analytics either.

Deleting your data

You can delete any recording or screenshot from the Snapreel library at any time. Uninstalling the extension removes all data Snapreel stored in your browser.

Children

Snapreel does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
