Screen Recording Data Handling

How We Handle Your Screen Recordings

1. Local Processing: All screen recordings are processed locally on your device. The recordings are never uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly choose to create a shareable link.

2. Blur and Highlight Features:

Our blur feature permanently removes pixel information in the exported video file, making the blurred content unrecoverable
Our highlight feature emphasizes selected areas of your recording
Important: These are creative video editing tools, not privacy redaction or legal compliance tools. Please see our DPA here for further information.
Original unblurred recordings are retained in your project files (.screenstudio)

3. Project Files: Project files contain your original, unblurred recordings. Only share these files with trusted parties who need editing access.

4. Shareable Links: When you create a shareable link:

The recording is uploaded to our secure cloud storage

Below we present your rights related to the protection of personal data and the fact of processing your data. The rights granted to you in a specific situation depend on the purpose and on what basis we process your personal data.

Right of access to data

You have the right to obtain information regarding the personal data we hold about you. By submitting a request for access to your data, you will receive information about the processing of personal data, including in particular about the purposes and legal grounds for processing, the scope of data held, entities to which personal data is disclosed and the planned date of its removal. (Article 15 of the GDPR)

Right to rectification

You have the right to immediately rectify and/or complete the personal data stored about you. It is our responsibility to ensure that our mutual communication is based on true, complete and up-to-date data. (Article 16 of the GDPR)

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to ask us to limit the processing of your personal data if you dispute the accuracy of the data stored about you, if the processing is carried out without a legal basis or if you have objected to its processing. (Article 18 of the GDPR)

Right to delete

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data stored by us, unless maintaining the data is necessary to ensure freedom of speech, freedom of access to information, fulfillment of an obligation under the law, due to public interest, in order to report or defend against claims or to exercise rights under the law. (Article 17 of the GDPR)

Right to information

If you have declared the right to rectification, deletion or limitation of data processing, we will notify all recipients of your personal data about the method of rectification, deletion or imposition of restrictions on the processing of this data, unless it is impossible to carry out or involves disproportionate effort.

Right to data portability

You have the right to obtain a copy of the data provided to us, which will be sent to you or a third party in a structured, standard, machine-readable format. If you request that this data be sent to another data controller, this will be done, provided that it is technically possible. This right applies only to the situation when we process your data on the basis of your consent or in connection with the performance of the contract. (Article 20 of the GDPR)

Right to object

If your personal data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest, you have the right to object at any time to further processing. We will consider your application in accordance with the rules resulting from the regulations. (Article 21 of the GDPR)

Right to withdraw consent

If your data is processed on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time, with future effect. This will not affect the legality of the data processed so far.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

If the processing of your personal data violates data protection regulations or if your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can submit a complaint to the supervisory authority. The supervisory authority competent in Poland is the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection in Warsaw (ul. Stawki 2). Before you exercise your right to complain, we encourage you to contact us first at team@screen.studio so that we can clarify any concerns you may have.

Consideration of the application

If you send us an application for the exercise of a given right, a response to the application will be provided within one month of its receipt. If it is necessary to extend this period, we will inform you of the reasons for such extension. The response to your request will be provided to the e-mail address from which you will send the request, and in the case of requests sent by letter, by regular mail to the address you indicate, unless the content of the letter indicates the desire to receive feedback to the e-mail address (in this case, please provide an e-mail address).

Additional information

Your personal data will not be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in art. 22 par. 1 and 4 GDPR, which at the same time would have legal effects on you or similarly significantly affect you.

To the extent that your personal data is processed on the basis of consent, providing personal data is voluntary. Otherwise, data collection is required by law.

Security

We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Cookies

We use the so-called cookies on our Website.

Cookies are small text files that are sent by the visited website and stored on the website user's device (usually on the hard disk).

Thanks to the stored cookies, the website can remember, for example, some user-selected settings or recently viewed subpages.
