Brimreel Privacy Policy
The short version
Brimreel records your screen, camera and microphone on your own computer. Your recordings are never uploaded, and we never see them. The Brimreel extension has no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no tracking. The only time it connects to the internet is when you choose to unlock Pro: it then sends your license key to Gumroad to check that it's valid.
What Brimreel accesses
- Screen, window or tab video: only after you pick it in your browser's sharing dialog, and only while you're recording.
- Microphone and camera: only if you switch them on, and only while you're recording. Your browser asks your permission first.
- Tab or system sound (Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers): only if you tick "Share audio" in the sharing dialog. Firefox doesn't offer this to extensions.
Video and sound are processed inside your browser, in the Brimreel tab. The finished file stays in your browser's memory until you click Save video, which writes it to your Downloads folder. If you close the tab without saving, the recording is discarded. Brimreel doesn't keep copies, thumbnails or history.
What Brimreel stores on your device
- If you unlock Pro: your license key and the date it was last checked, kept in the browser's extension storage (
storage.local) on this computer only. Click "Remove license from this browser" to delete it. Uninstalling Brimreel deletes it too.
Nothing else is stored.
What Brimreel sends, and to whom
- Only when you click "Unlock" (and then at most once a week while Pro stays unlocked): your license key and Brimreel's Gumroad product ID are sent to Gumroad's license check (
https://api.gumroad.com/v2/licenses/verify). Gumroad replies whether the key is valid. No recording, file name, browsing data, device ID or email address is sent. Gumroad handles the request under Gumroad's privacy policy. In Firefox you're asked for consent to send this "authentication information" before the first check. - Buying Pro happens on Gumroad's website, not inside Brimreel. Wood Between Studio receives the order details Gumroad gives sellers (for example your email address for the receipt) and uses them only to provide and support your license.
The Brimreel extension contains no analytics, crash reporting, advertising or third-party scripts. It doesn't read the web pages you visit.
Permissions
storage: to remember your Pro license on this computer.
Brimreel asks for no access to your websites, tabs or browsing history.
Children
Brimreel isn't directed at children under 13 and collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes
Website analytics
The Wood Between Studio website (www.woodbetweenstudio.com), including the web-app versions of our tools, uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It is a privacy-first, cookieless service: it sets no cookies, doesn't fingerprint your browser or device, doesn't track you across other sites and collects no personal data. Its small script sends only page-view and page-load metrics (such as the page address, the referring site, browser type and load time) to Cloudflare. It never receives your files, recordings, watchlists, keys, or anything you type or process in a tool: those stay on your device, and the tools keep working offline (the counter simply doesn't load). The browser extensions themselves contain no analytics.
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above. We'll never start uploading recordings or add tracking without changing this policy and the extension's store listing first.
