Privacy Policy

Kirocast (“we,” “us,” or “our”) builds a Mac screen recorder that turns raw captures into polished, share-ready product demos. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app and this website handle, how it is used, and the choices available to you. By using Kirocast, you agree to the practices described here.

The short version

Kirocast is designed to keep your recordings and edits on your own Mac. Screen capture, editing, and rendering run locally on your device. We do not sell your data, and we do not upload your recordings or exported videos to our servers unless you explicitly choose to use an optional feature that requires it.

Information processed on your device

The following content is created and stored locally on your Mac and is not transmitted to us:

• Screen recordings and any captured camera or microphone input.
• Edited timelines, effects, and project files.
• Exported and rendered video.
• Your in-app settings and preferences.

You control where these files live, when they are deleted, and whether you export or share them.

Information we may collect

• Waitlist and early access. If you request early access, we collect the email address you submit so we can contact you about availability and updates. You can ask us to remove it at any time.
• Diagnostics and crash reports. If enabled, the app may send anonymous diagnostic information (such as crash logs, app version, and macOS version) to help us fix bugs and improve stability. These reports do not include your recordings or exported videos.
• Website analytics. This website uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-respecting, self-hosted service, to understand aggregate traffic (such as page views, referrers, and campaign sources from utm_* link parameters). It sets no cookies and does no cross-site tracking, and the data is not used to identify individual visitors.
• Support requests. If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to share (such as your email address and the contents of your message) so we can respond.
• Optional cloud features. If you choose to use a feature that relies on a third-party service, the data needed for that feature is sent to that provider only for as long as needed to perform the request. We will make any such feature clearly optional.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the app and website.
• To diagnose problems and improve reliability and performance.
• To respond to your support requests and communications.
• To notify you about early access and product updates you signed up for.
• To comply with legal obligations.

What we don't do

• We do not sell or rent your personal information.
• We do not use your recordings or exported videos to train our models.
• We do not access the content of your recordings or projects stored on your device.

Data retention

Content created in the app stays on your device until you delete it. Diagnostic and analytics data, where collected, is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Waitlist and support correspondence is kept as long as needed to assist you and for our records.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information we handle. Because most of your content stays on your Mac, keeping your device secure (with a strong login, disk encryption, and current software) is the most important safeguard.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Because we hold very little personal data, most requests relate to your waitlist email, support correspondence, or diagnostics. Contact us to exercise these rights and we will respond as required by applicable law.

Children

Kirocast is not directed to children under 15 (the minimum age of digital consent in France), or the equivalent minimum age in your country, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated through the app or website where appropriate.
