Privacy policy

Last updated 9 November 2026.

Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom is a screen recorder for Windows. This page says what it stores on your PC, what it sends over the internet and why, and how to delete all of it. The short version: your recordings never leave your PC, and the app has no analytics.

Who is responsible

Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom is made by Epictetus LLC ("we"). Write to support@takeoutjson.com with any question about this policy.

Your recordings stay on your PC

Projects are saved in a folder on your PC, by default Videos\Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom\Projects in your user folder. Exports go where you choose, by default Videos\Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom. A project holds the screen video, the audio and webcam tracks, and a record of mouse clicks and cursor movement used for zoom and the smooth cursor. Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom has no cloud upload and no sharing service.

Keyboard shortcuts

The keyboard is not watched unless you turn on "Record keyboard shortcuts" before recording. It is off by default. When it is on, the toolbar shows "Keys recorded" for the whole recording, and the app saves a file called keys.jsonl in that project's folder. It holds shortcut combinations, such as Ctrl+C, and special keys, such as Enter, Esc or the arrow keys, with their times, and for runs of ordinary typing only when the run started, when it ended and how many keys it had. It never holds the letters, numbers or symbols you type. The file is used only to draw the shortcut overlay, and it never leaves your PC.

What the app sends, and when

Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom connects to the internet only for the reasons below. The app lists the same reasons in Settings, under "What leaves this PC".

• Update check. Only when you press Check now in Settings, at most once every 6 hours, and never if "Check for updates" is off. It sends the app's version number. If there is a newer version, the app shows a link to download it. The app never downloads or installs an update itself. Every PC gets the same answer, and our server code stores nothing about the check. The server runs on Cloudflare, which, like any web host, sees your IP address when your PC connects.
• Licence activation, deactivation and voucher redemption. Only when you click Activate or Deactivate. Activate takes a licence key or a voucher code. It sends the key or code, and a device id. The device id is a one-way hash made from the id Windows gives your PC, so it cannot be turned back into that id and means nothing outside Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom. We keep the key or voucher, the device ids it is active on, and when each was activated (the full list is under "Where the licence data is kept"), so we can enforce the number of PCs a licence covers and help you move it. Deactivating removes that PC's device id.
• Buying Premium. The checkout opens in your web browser on Polar's site. Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom itself sends nothing.

There is no telemetry, no analytics and no crash upload. If an opt-in crash report is ever added, it will be off by default and this page will say so first.

Payments

Polar (polar.sh) is the merchant of record for Premium. Polar collects your name, email address, payment details and billing country to take the payment and handle tax, under Polar's privacy policy. We receive from Polar your email address, the order id and the product you bought. We use your email address only to send your licence key and to answer you. Our licence email is sent through Resend (resend.com), which handles the email address for that purpose only.

Where the licence data is kept

The activation service runs on Cloudflare. For each licence key or voucher, Cloudflare's storage keeps: the key or voucher, the number of PCs it covers, and for each PC it is active on, the device id, the time it was first activated, the time it was last activated and how many times it has been activated. It also keeps the time of each deactivation in the last 30 days, to enforce the limit on moving a key, and, if an order is refunded, the order id and the time of the refund. This is kept for as long as the licence exists. Deactivating removes that PC's device id and times, but the time of the deactivation is kept for 30 days. On your PC, the licence is stored in %APPDATA%\Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom\licence.json.

How to delete your data

• Recordings and projects: delete the project folders. Uninstalling Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom does not delete them, so your work is never lost by accident.
• Keyboard data: delete keys.jsonl from a project folder, or the whole project.
• Licence on this PC: choose Deactivate in Settings, Premium, or delete %APPDATA%\Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom.
• Licence records on our side: write to support@takeoutjson.com and we will delete the device ids and activation records for your key. Polar's records of the payment are kept by Polar as the law on tax records requires.

Children

Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom is not directed at children and collects no personal information beyond what is described here.
