Official Language Notice

This document is the official English version of the policy.

Translations may be provided for convenience only. In the event of any inconsistency, conflict, ambiguity, or difference in interpretation between a translated version and the English version, the English version shall govern and prevail.

1. Introduction

Welcome to UseScreencast ("UseScreencast", "we", "our", or "us").

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit https://usescreencast.com (the "Website").

The Website promotes the Screencast browser extension and provides information, documentation, installation guidance, and support resources related to the extension.

By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Voluntarily

We collect information that you voluntarily submit through our support contact form, including:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Message content

Providing this information is entirely voluntary.

Minimal Server-Side Statistics

For every request for a public HTML page, our server immediately increments aggregated counters. The analytics store contains only:

  • Calendar day
  • A predefined page category
  • Language taken from the page URL
  • HTTP status group (2xx, 3xx, 4xx or 5xx)
  • A broad server response-time range
  • An aggregate request count

This analytics store does not contain IP addresses or their hashes, user-agent strings, referrer URLs, query strings, cookies, exact event times, visitor IDs or session IDs. These counters represent server requests, not unique people or visits.

Security Data

IP addresses may be processed temporarily in memory for rate limiting, spam prevention and protection of the Website. Infrastructure error logs may also process technical data when necessary to investigate a fault or security incident. Security data is not used for marketing analytics.

Detailed proxy access logging is disabled for the Website. Security and application error logs are kept separately from the aggregate analytics store and are limited to information necessary to investigate faults and security incidents.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate and maintain the Website
  • Provide customer support
  • Respond to inquiries
  • Improve Website functionality
  • Understand aggregate demand for public pages and languages
  • Monitor HTTP errors and server performance
  • Detect and prevent technical issues
  • Improve user experience
  • Comply with applicable laws and regulations

We do not sell personal information.

4. Support Communications

When you submit a support request, we use the information you provide solely for:

  • Responding to your inquiry
  • Providing technical assistance
  • Following up regarding your request

We do not use support requests for marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Before you make a choice, and after you decline analytics, the Website does not load Google Analytics or Yandex Metrica and does not send analytics pings to those providers.

If you accept analytics, the Website may use analytics technologies to:

  • Remember your selected language
  • Analyze visitor interactions
  • Measure clicks on the extension installation buttons
  • Improve Website performance and usability

The Website does not store or upload advertising click identifiers such as yclid or gclid and does not upload offline conversions.

Known advertising click identifiers are removed from the browser address bar before analytics can start. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals are conservatively treated as a decline of optional analytics by this Website.

For more information, please review our Cookie Policy.

Rate-limit state normally exists only for minutes in server memory. Security and diagnostic data is kept only for the shortest period necessary for the relevant security or fault-investigation purpose.

After consent, Google and Yandex retain data according to the settings and terms of their services. Their current retention and transfer terms should be reviewed using the provider policy links above.

10. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including the Chrome Web Store.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
