Privacy
SuperScreencast is built to keep your video, your audio, and your recordings on your machine. This page explains the small amounts of data this website and the product do involve.
The website
Static pages, no cookies, no analytics, no accounts. Nothing to configure and nothing to opt out of.
The SuperScreencast app
Capture, composition, recording, and the virtual camera run entirely on your machine. No telemetry leaves it.
Streaming
When you stream, video and audio go to the one destination you configured — not to us, not through us.
1 · The short version
- The website uses no tracking. It is a set of static pages; it sets no cookies and runs no analytics or tracking scripts.
- The application sends nothing to us. SuperScreencast works fully offline for capture, virtual camera, and recording, and reports no usage, crash, or diagnostic data.
- Streaming goes where you point it. Media is transmitted only to the streaming destination you configured, using the stream key stored on your machine.
- You hold the data. Recordings and configuration files live on your disk under your control; deleting them removes them.
2 · This website
The pages under this domain are delivered as static files. They do not use cookies, fingerprinting, analytics services, or third-party embeds, and they do not require an account.
Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser sends requests to Google for those font files, including your IP address and browser request metadata. See the Google Fonts FAQ for the provider’s privacy information.
Like any website, the hosting infrastructure may automatically process short-lived technical request logs (for example IP address, time, and requested page) for security and delivery purposes. [hosting provider and log-retention details — to be completed before launch]
3 · The SuperScreencast application
SuperScreencast is a native Linux application that runs as a local daemon. It captures your screen, camera, and audio, composes them, and writes results locally:
- Recordings are written to a directory you choose and never uploaded anywhere.
- The virtual camera delivers video to applications on your own machine (for example a conferencing app) via a local video device; it does not transmit over the network by itself.
- Configuration is stored in local files, session-only panel state included. Your panel layout and settings stay on your machine.
- No telemetry. SuperScreencast has no usage tracking, no crash reporting, and no update phone-home.
The SuperScreencast control panel and preview are local windows. Opening, closing, or navigating them does not transmit anything.
4 · Streaming destinations and stream keys
When you start streaming, SuperScreencast transmits the composed video and audio mix to the single RTMP/RTMPS destination you configured. We do not operate a relay, do not see the stream, and do not receive a copy.
Authentication to your streaming destination uses a stream key or key file. SuperScreencast stores only the path to that key file in its configuration; the secret itself never appears in configuration files, the control panel, or the preview window. The key is read from disk and used solely to authenticate against the destination you configured.
What you broadcast, and whether your audience has consented to being recorded or streamed, is your responsibility as the broadcaster. We recommend treating the privacy pause and blur controls as part of that discipline — they exist so that revealing a composition is always an explicit action.
5 · Pro purchases and contact
Pro is sold as a perpetual license. [payment processor, billing data processed, and account model — to be completed once the purchase flow is final]
Pro purchases use Stripe Checkout. The payment service processes payment confirmation and stores the purchase email and license file. License-delivery and recovery emails are sent via SMTP through the configured email provider. [purchase, license, and email-retention details — to be completed before launch]
If you contact us by email, we process the data you provide solely to answer your enquiry.
6 · Your rights
Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, rectify, and delete personal data, to object to or restrict processing, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, FDPIC).
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@superscreencast.com.
7 · Changes to this policy
If the website or product changes in ways that affect this policy — for example introducing optional telemetry or an account system — we will update this page and the date above. We will not add data collection silently.
