Privacy Policy

Session Recorder is a Chrome extension that records a session of you using a web app — interactions, network traffic, console logs, screenshots, voice narration, annotations, and files — and exports it as a local zip report intended for an LLM coding agent.

Summary

• Recordings stay local. Sessions are stored in your browser (IndexedDB) and exported as a zip file you save yourself. Session Recorder has no backend and no account system. We do not operate any server that receives your recordings.
• Optional transcription is the one exception. If — and only if — you configure a transcription provider and API key, the audio you record is sent to that third-party provider to produce a text transcript. Without a key, audio is never transmitted; it stays in the local recording.

What the extension accesses

To record a session, the extension captures, on the tabs you are actively recording:

• Network requests and responses (via chrome.debugger / CDP), including bodies and headers
• Console logs, exceptions, and failed requests
• Clicks, inputs, scrolls, keystrokes, and page navigations
• Screenshots of the recorded tab
• Microphone audio, when you start voice narration
• Files you upload to the app or attach yourself

All of this is written to local browser storage and is only ever assembled into a zip file that you explicitly export and save to your own device.

Redaction

Redaction is on by default. Before anything is written to storage, the extension masks authorization headers, token-like JSON and form fields, sensitive URL parameters, and password inputs. You can add rules or disable redaction per session on the options page.

Third-party transcription (optional, off by default)

If you enter an API key on the options page, recorded audio is streamed or uploaded to the provider you selected in order to transcribe it:

• Deepgram — deepgram.com/privacy
• OpenAI — openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
• ElevenLabs — elevenlabs.io/privacy

Your API key is stored locally in chrome.storage.local and is sent only to that provider. We do not receive, proxy, or store your key or your audio. Your use of a provider is governed by that provider's privacy policy and terms.

Data we collect

None. Session Recorder has no analytics, no telemetry, no ads, and no backend. The developer does not receive any of your recordings, transcripts, keys, or usage data.

Data sharing and sale

We do not sell, share, or transfer any user data, because we never receive any.
