Locally Stored Data

• Your screen recordings (MP4 videos in your device gallery, Movies/Vidorec)
• Recording preferences: resolution, frame rate, bitrate, audio source, countdown
• App settings: theme, language, floating bubble preference
• Editing projects and the caption text you write or edit (kept on your device)

Advertising

Vidorec uses only optional rewarded ads; it has no banner, interstitial or app-open ads. Ads never open automatically. If you choose Watch ad and complete it, legacy advanced recording settings are unlocked for one hour. Another ad becomes available only after that hour ends; time cannot be stacked. Vidorec Pro users are not offered ads. Live Draw, Facecam and Noise Reduction are not unlocked by ads and require Vidorec Pro. Google Mobile Ads may automatically collect and share IP address (which may estimate approximate location), app interactions such as launches, taps and ad video views, diagnostic information, and device/account identifiers including the Android advertising ID and App Set ID. Google uses this data for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention, and encrypts it in transit. Where required, Google's consent form is shown before an ad request and an Ad privacy options entry lets you review your choices. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in Android settings. Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring process usage and diagnostic data to operate and improve the app. Your recordings are never sent to the advertising SDK and remain only in your device gallery. AI captions are separate from advertising: only the audio track of the video you choose is sent for speech recognition, and only after you consent. Vidorec can also show on-device recording, saved-video and update notifications; these are generated on your device and can be disabled in Android notification settings.

AI Captions (Optional)

AI captions are the only part of Vidorec that sends data off your device. The feature does nothing until you use it, and it does not start before you accept a consent screen that says in plain words what is sent and where.

• Only audio is sent. Vidorec extracts the audio track from the video you picked and sends that. The video itself never leaves your device.
• The audio is recognised by Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, a third-party processor. If you ask for a translation, the caption text goes to Google Cloud Translation.
• Your audio is not stored on our server. It is held in memory while the job runs and then dropped, and the temporary audio file on your device is deleted as well.
• What our server does keep: your Google account identifier and email address, your caption-minute balance and its transaction history, your purchases, a job record (length, language, error code) and the caption text produced. The text is kept so that repeating the same request returns the same result without charging you twice.
• A salted hash of your device is kept to stop the free starter minutes from being claimed over and over. The raw device identifier is neither sent nor stored.
• Signing in with Google is required for this feature alone, so that minutes you paid for stay with you rather than with an installation. The rest of Vidorec works without an account.
• Caption minutes are bought through Google Play Billing. We never see your card or payment details.
