Privacy Policy

Last updated March 2026

Vyds ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Vyds screen recording platform, including the web application at vyds.io, the desktop applications for macOS and Windows, and the Chrome browser extension. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our services.

By using Vyds, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our services.

Information We Collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture through Google OAuth. We do not store your Google password. If you subscribe to a paid plan, Stripe processes your payment information directly and we do not store credit card numbers on our servers.

Recording metadata

When you create a recording, we store metadata including the recording title, duration, creation date, file size, and sharing settings. The video content itself is stored in Cloudflare R2 and associated with your account.

Usage analytics

We collect anonymous usage data to improve our product, including which features are used, recording frequency, and general interaction patterns. We do not track individual viewing behavior of shared recordings beyond aggregate view counts.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Process transactions and send related information
  • Send technical notices, updates, and support messages
  • Respond to your comments, questions, and support requests
  • Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve user experience
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your recordings for advertising purposes. We do not train AI models on your content.

Data Storage and Security

Video recordings are stored in Cloudflare R2 with AES-256 encryption at rest. Application data is stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL) with row-level security policies. All data is transmitted over TLS 1.3.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Vyds:

  • Stripe — Payment processing. Stripe handles all credit card information directly and is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
  • Google OAuth — Authentication. We request basic profile information (name, email, profile picture). The drive.file scope is requested only when you choose to export a recording to Google Drive.
  • Cloudflare — Video storage (R2) and content delivery. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
  • Supabase — Database and authentication infrastructure.
  • Vercel — Application hosting and serverless functions.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access — Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
  • Deletion — Request deletion of your account and all associated data, including recordings. Deletion is completed within 30 days.
  • Export — Download your recordings at any time in their original format. Export account data in machine-readable format upon request.
  • Portability — Your recordings are standard WebM files. You can export them to Google Drive or download them directly at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@vyds.io.

Data Retention

We retain your account information and recordings for as long as your account is active. If you delete a recording, it is removed from our storage within 7 days. If you delete your account, all data is removed within 30 days. We may retain anonymized, aggregated data for analytics purposes after account deletion.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication state. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. Our analytics use anonymous, aggregated data collection that does not rely on persistent cookies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
