Effective: July 23, 2026 Last updated: October 19, 2026 On this page [Scope and operator](#scope) [Privacy at a glance](#summary) [Information handled](#information) [Local projects and recording](#local-work) [Connected services](#connected-services) [How information is used](#purposes) [When information is shared](#sharing) [Storage and retention](#retention) [Security](#security) [Your choices and rights](#choices) [Website technologies](#cookies) [International processing](#transfers) [Children](#children) [Changes](#changes) [Contact](#contact)Privacy at the product level. Ordinary recordings and project files are designed to remain on your device. Material leaves your device when you choose a connected feature—such as license activation, a connected provider, or YouTube publishing—or when a technical service must process a request you initiate. ## 1. Scope and responsible operator This Policy applies to Screlio’s public website, desktop software, license services, account interactions, and optional connected features. It should be read with our [Terms and Conditions](https://screlio.com/terms-and-conditions-screlio-2/). The entity responsible for your paid relationship is identified as the seller or merchant on your purchase receipt and in the [account portal](https://account.screlio.com). Because the applicable seller may depend on the transaction, that purchase information identifies the responsible contracting entity and available privacy contact for your account. ## 2. Privacy at a glance - Marketing pages do not currently include an advertising or behavioral analytics integration. - Projects, source recordings, and ordinary edits are designed to stay on your device. - License activation communicates with the licensing service using license and device-related details. - Local transcription can process speech on your device without sending that audio to a cloud transcription service. - Optional connected services receive the material needed for the action you choose to initiate. - YouTube publishing sends your chosen export and metadata to Google after you connect your account and confirm the upload. ## 3. Information Screlio handles ### Website and hosting information When you visit the website, hosting and network providers may process standard request data such as IP address, browser and device type, requested page, timestamps, referring page, and security events. This information supports delivery, reliability, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. ### Purchase, account, and license information Purchase and account systems may handle contact details, transaction details, plan status, receipts, tax information, and support history. Payment-card details are handled by the checkout or payment provider identified during purchase rather than by the static marketing pages. The desktop app stores a license key locally and may send the key, an installation or site identifier, and activation or status information to the licensing service to validate, activate, or deactivate access. License information may also be associated with the account shown in the account portal. ### Support and legal communications If you contact the seller or support team, they may process the information you provide, relevant account and license details, attachments, and the history needed to answer the request. ## 4. Local projects, recordings, and preferences Depending on the features you use, Screlio can process screen recordings, microphone and system audio, camera video, screenshots, imported files, captions, scripts, timeline edits, cursor movement, click information, and optional keystroke-display data. Project settings and interface preferences may also be stored on your device. This material is used locally to record, preview, edit, render, save, and export your work. It is not automatically uploaded merely because you create or open a project. You decide where project files and exports are stored and are responsible for device permissions, backups, deletion, and access by other users of the device. Screlio includes an on-device speech-transcription option. When that option is used, source audio is processed locally by the installed transcription runtime. A separate connected feature may still transmit text, audio, frames, or other material if you deliberately invoke that feature. ## 5. Optional connected and publishing services ### Connected providers If you configure an optional connected provider, its credentials are stored in the desktop app's local user data. Screlio sends the credential and information needed for your chosen action directly to that provider when you test the connection or invoke the service. The information transmitted depends on the action you choose and may include selected text, screenshots, video frames, files, audio, settings, or other relevant project material. The provider processes that information under its own terms and privacy policy. Review those policies and avoid submitting sensitive material without the required authorization. ### YouTube If you connect YouTube, Google manages the sign-in and consent process. Screlio requests permission to upload videos and may process OAuth configuration, access and refresh tokens, upload status, your selected video, title, description, tags, audience selection, and privacy setting. Refresh tokens are protected with operating-system encryption when that protection is available. Screlio sends the export and metadata to YouTube only after you start publishing. Google’s terms, privacy policy, account controls, and deletion tools apply to information in your Google or YouTube account. ## 6. Why information is used Information is processed as reasonably necessary to: - deliver the website, desktop software, requested editing functions, and exports; - complete purchases, issue receipts, administer plans, and validate licenses; - connect and operate features you deliberately configure or invoke; - respond to support, billing, legal, and privacy requests; - maintain security, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and protect users and services; - comply with legal obligations and enforce the Terms; and - improve reliability, usability, compatibility, and documentation. The legal basis for processing depends on the information, feature, contracting entity, and law that applies. Common bases include performing a contract, taking steps you request before a contract, legitimate operational and security interests, complying with law, and consent where consent is required. ## 7. When information is disclosed Information may be disclosed: - to hosting, licensing, checkout, payment, account, support, and infrastructure providers that help operate the service; - to a connected or publishing provider when you connect or invoke that provider; - to professional advisers, auditors, insurers, or authorities where reasonably necessary and legally permitted; - to protect rights, safety, security, users, or the public, or to investigate fraud and abuse; and - as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of the relevant business, subject to appropriate safeguards. Screlio does not use project files as a general-purpose data brokerage product and does not automatically disclose local recordings to advertising platforms. ## 8. Storage, retention, and deletion Local projects, recordings, preferences, license credentials, and configured provider information remain on your device until you remove them, uninstall the relevant data, reset the application, or an operating-system process removes them. Removing the application may not remove project files saved elsewhere on your device. Account, purchase, license, hosting, support, and security records are kept for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, including service delivery, recordkeeping, fraud prevention, dispute handling, and legal compliance. No single retention period applies to every category. Information sent to a third-party provider is retained under that provider’s settings and policy. Deleting a local Screlio project does not automatically delete material already uploaded to YouTube or submitted to a connected provider. ## 9. Security Administrative, technical, and product-level safeguards are used where appropriate to the nature of the information. Examples include limiting the information sent for a requested function, local processing for ordinary editing, operating-system protection for eligible YouTube tokens, and restricted local storage for provider settings. No storage or transmission method is completely secure. You should protect your device, account, license key, provider credentials, source files, and backups; install trusted updates; and remove sensitive information before sharing a project or export. ## 10. Your choices and privacy rights You can control many data flows directly: - choose whether to grant screen, camera, microphone, and related device permissions; - avoid configuring a connected provider or remove its locally stored credential; - disconnect YouTube and manage Google access through your Google account; - delete local projects, recordings, exports, and app settings from your device; - deactivate a license or manage an eligible plan through the account portal; and - choose what content to send, edit, export, or publish. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection, and to appeal or complain to a privacy regulator. These rights may be subject to exceptions. Use the [account portal](https://account.screlio.com) so the request reaches the entity responsible for your transaction. You may also email [contact@screlio.com](mailto:contact@screlio.com). ## 11. Cookies and website storage The current public marketing pages do not intentionally set advertising cookies or include a behavioral analytics script. Hosting, security, or account systems may use strictly necessary request information or session technologies to deliver a page, protect the service, or maintain an account session. The website's live-chat feature may collect a visitor's name, email address, optional phone number, IP address, and chat messages. This information is stored in the website's WordPress database and is used to respond to support requests, manage chat history, and provide requested transcripts. It is not sent to a separate live-chat service or to the live-chat plugin developer. Chat records are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for support, security, recordkeeping, and legal obligations. If optional analytics or advertising technologies are introduced, this Policy and any required consent controls will be updated before those technologies are used where applicable. ## 12. International processing The website, seller, infrastructure providers, and third-party services you choose may operate in different countries. As a result, information can be processed outside your region under different data-protection laws. Where required, the responsible entity will rely on recognized transfer mechanisms or other appropriate safeguards. ## 13. Children Screlio is a professional creation tool and is not directed to people who cannot lawfully enter the applicable purchase or software agreement. If you believe a child has provided account or purchase information without appropriate authorization, use the account portal to contact the responsible entity. ## 14. Changes to this Policy This Policy may be updated as Screlio, its providers, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date indicates the latest revision. Where required, material changes affecting an active paid relationship will be communicated through a reasonable channel. ## 15. Contact For privacy requests, account questions, purchase or product issues, license matters, or complaints, email [contact@screlio.com](mailto:contact@screlio.com). Include your purchase email and order reference if available. Please do not send passwords, full payment-card details, or sensitive project files. The responsible seller or merchant for your transaction is identified on your purchase receipt and in the [account portal](https://account.screlio.com).
