Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 19, 2026
1. Privacy First & Local Processing
SnapZoom is designed with a privacy-first, zero-cloud architecture. Unlike traditional screen recording tools, SnapZoom processes your recordings, click events, and auto-zoom coordinate calculations entirely locally within your browser.
2. Video Data Handling
We do NOT collect, store, or transmit your recordings to any servers.
- Videos are captured and stored temporarily in your browser's local memory and IndexedDB.
- All editing, watermark removal, and AI cinematic zoom effects are computed locally using your own device's hardware.
- Exports (MP4 and WebM files) are generated and downloaded directly to your local file system.
3. Premium License & Dodo Payments
For users who upgrade to the Pro Lifetime plan, we utilize Dodo Payments as our merchant of record to securely process transactions.
- We do not store your credit card information. All payment processing is handled externally by Dodo Payments.
- The extension securely validates your purchase by checking your one-time License Key against our Dodo Payments license validation endpoint (`live.dodopayments.com/licenses/validate`).
- The validation process only transmits your license key and receives a true/false status to unlock premium features (like 1080p export and custom watermarks). It does not transmit tracking data.
4. Permissions Required
SnapZoom requires specific permissions to function securely:
- Tab Capture: To exclusively record the contents of your active browser tab.
- Storage: To save your local video drafts and your `snapzoom_license_key` across sessions.
