Last updated: March 2026

Key Point: StreamBlur processes everything locally on your device. Your screen content is never uploaded, recorded, or sent to our servers.

1. Overview

StreamBlur ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

StreamBlur is an on-screen privacy tool that detects and masks sensitive information (such as API keys, passwords, emails, and tokens) before they appear on your stream or screen recording.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways: (1) information you provide directly, (2) information collected automatically when you use our website, and (3) information collected by third-party services we use, including advertising and analytics partners. The sections below describe each category in detail.

2.1 Screen Content (Local Processing Only)

We do NOT collect, upload, store, or transmit your screen content. All screen analysis happens locally on your device using pattern matching. No screenshots, video frames, or screen data ever leave your computer.

2.2 Account Information (Optional)

If you choose to sign in with Google for Pro features, we collect:

Crash reports

This data contains no personal information and cannot identify you or your screen content.
