Summary

Demoplex Screen Capture takes screenshots — or, when you press Record, a screen recording — of pages you choose to capture, and sends them to your own Demoplex account so you can build demos and clickthroughs. Recordings capture video only: no microphone and no tab audio is ever recorded. It does not collect analytics, does not sell or share your data with third parties, and does not read or transmit the URLs, titles, or content of tabs you are not actively capturing.

What the extension accesses

Permission	What it's used for
activeTab	Lets the extension capture a screenshot of the page you're currently viewing when you click the extension icon, press the capture keyboard shortcut, or run a capture session — only in direct response to your action.
storage	Saves your Demoplex sign-in session and your in-progress capture queue locally on your device, so the extension remembers you between clicks.
scripting	Adds the capture bar overlay to a tab when you start a capture there. Tabs you already had open before installing the extension would otherwise never show the capture controls. Used only when you start a capture.
tabs	Identifies which tab is active so the screenshot comes from the page you're actually looking at. Used only during a capture you started — it is not used to monitor your tabs or browsing history.
unlimitedStorage	Screenshots are large and screen recordings are larger still. Without this, Chrome's 10MB local-storage cap can be hit within a few captures and silently discards them. This keeps a capture or recording from being lost. The data stays on your device until you choose to send it.
alarms	Runs a short watchdog timer while your captures are uploading, so an upload that Chrome interrupts resumes where it left off instead of losing your work. Cleared as soon as the upload finishes.
tabCapture	Records the tab you chose as video, and only while a recording you started is running. Chrome shows its own recording indicator throughout, and no other tab is touched. Nothing is ever recorded in the background.
offscreen	Chrome's recording API needs a document to run in, which a Manifest V3 background worker does not have. This creates a hidden, non-visual page that holds the recorder while you record, and it is closed the moment recording stops.
host_permissions (all sites)	Required so the capture tool and its on-page bar can run on whatever page you choose to capture — the extension's purpose is capturing any site you're on, not a fixed list of domains.

Information we collect

The extension handles the following, and only the following, data:

• Your Demoplex account session. When you sign in through the extension popup, your email/password is sent directly to the Demoplex API over HTTPS to authenticate — the extension itself never stores your password. A resulting access token and basic profile fields (user ID, email, display name, role, and tenant/workspace ID) are cached in Chrome's local extension storage on your device so you stay signed in.
• Screenshots you capture. When you use the extension to capture a page (the full tab, or an app window or screen you pick), the image is temporarily queued in local extension storage on your device, then — only when you choose to add it to a demo — uploaded to your own Demoplex account via the Demoplex API.
• Screen recordings you make. When you press Record, the extension records the tab you selected as video — video only, with no microphone and no tab audio. Chrome displays its own recording indicator for the entire session, and recording stops as soon as you press stop or close that tab. The recording is held in local extension storage on your device and, only when you choose to add it to a demo, uploaded to your own Demoplex account, where it is converted to MP4.
• What you clicked during a recording. So a recording can be turned into demo steps, the extension also records the clicks and page navigations that happen while it is running: the visible label of the control you clicked, where on the screen you clicked, and the page URL and title. This is only ever collected during a recording you started, only on pages you are recording, and it goes only to your own Demoplex account. It is not keystroke logging — nothing you type is recorded.
• Nothing else. The extension does not track your browsing history, does not read the content of tabs other than the one you actively capture, does not use analytics or advertising SDKs, and does not transmit data to any destination other than the Demoplex API tied to your own account.

Where your data goes

All data the extension sends leaves only to the Demoplex API (api.demoplex.io) over an encrypted HTTPS connection, scoped to your own account and workspace. Demoplex does not sell user data or share it with third parties for advertising purposes. Screenshots and demo content you upload are stored the same way as content you upload directly through the Demoplex dashboard.

Data stored on your device

Your session token, cached profile, and any screenshots not yet uploaded live in Chrome's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your own computer. This data is removed automatically when you sign out of the extension, and is deleted entirely if you uninstall the extension.

Your choices

• Sign out at any time from the extension popup to clear your cached session.
• Uninstall the extension from chrome://extensions to remove all locally stored data immediately.
• Contact us to request deletion of any account data already uploaded to Demoplex.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will also be reflected in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing.
