Privacy Notice
Capme processes recordings entirely in your browser. No server-side video storage or user accounts exist yet.
1. Responsible Person
Responsible for data processing: Steffen Rosenögger, Burgmüllerstraße 60, 40235 Düsseldorf, Germany. See the Imprint page for full details.
2. Overview
This privacy notice explains how Capme ("the Service") handles data. The Service is a free, no-signup screen & webcam recording tool. There is currently no company entity behind it. You use it voluntarily and at your own discretion.
3. No Account, No Personal Profile
You are not required to create an account. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any other identifying details.
4. Client-Side Video Processing
All video composition (webcam, background, overlays) and recording happen locally in your browser using MediaStream, Canvas, and Web APIs. Recorded data is kept in memory until you choose to download or share it. The application does not automatically upload your raw or finished video to any Capme-controlled server.
5. Temporary Data & Downloads
When you finish a recording, you can download the video file directly. The file is generated purely client-side. If you refresh or close the tab before downloading, the video may be lost (unless your browser has already persisted it in a temporary object URL).
6. Optional Sharing
If you use a share button (e.g. copy link, send to a platform), the action happens locally (e.g. copying to clipboard) or invokes the native share sheet if supported. There is no central Capme server that receives or stores your video.
7. Analytics
Capme uses Umami Cloud, a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service. It records anonymous usage events (e.g. recording started, stopped, shared) to help improve the app. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect IP addresses or personal data, and stores only aggregate statistics. More info: https://umami.is/privacy For site-level performance metrics (Web Vitals, page load), the site also integrates Vercel Speed Insights. Vercel collects anonymous performance data and aggregates metrics; it does not track individual users or set tracking cookies. Data may be processed by Vercel according to their privacy policy. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
8. No Cookies for Tracking
At this time, Capme does not set marketing or tracking cookies. Your browser may still store essential runtime data (e.g. permissions you granted to camera/microphone).
9. Permissions
Camera and microphone access are requested only when you start or prepare a recording. If you deny access, the app cannot record. You can revoke permissions anytime through your browser settings.
10. Third-Party Services & Contact Form
Aside from hosting (Vercel) and its built-in analytics, Capme uses Resend (resend.com) to process submissions from the contact form at https://www.capme.app/contact. If you submit the form, your message and (if provided) your email address are sent to Capme's team via Resend's email infrastructure. Data is used solely to respond to your inquiry or feedback and is not shared with third parties for marketing. For details, see Resend's privacy policy: https://resend.com/legal/privacy-policy.
11. Data Retention
Because no server copies are stored, we retain no video data. What you download or copy is under your own control. Clear your browser data if you wish to remove local caches (e.g. permission remembers).
12. Security
Client-side processing reduces exposure - video streams stay local. Still, keep your device secure and avoid recording sensitive information unintentionally.
13. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to restrict processing, to object to processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, contact the responsible person listed above.
14. Future Changes
If Capme later introduces accounts, online storage, monetization, or additional analytics, this notice will be updated before those changes go live.
15. Contact
