Privacy Policy

Summary

Revidi is a Windows app that keeps a rolling recording of your screen and saves clips and screenshots when you ask it to. This policy covers the Revidi desktop app and the revidi.app website, including clip share pages.

• Recordings and screenshots are saved on your computer. Without an account, they never leave it.
• If you sign in, new clips and screenshots are uploaded automatically by default so you can share them. You can turn this off in Settings.
• The desktop app sends a small set of usage events to Mixpanel. It never sends what you record.
• The website uses Vercel Web Analytics and a Google Ads conversion tag.
• We don't sell your personal information.

Desktop App: Data Stored on Your Computer

Unless you upload something, everything below stays on your computer. App data lives in %APPDATA%\revidi-desktop\.

• Clips: Saved to %USERPROFILE%\Videos\Revidi\ by default, or to the folder you choose.
• Screenshots: Saved to a Screenshots folder inside your clips folder.
• Settings: Capture, audio, hotkey, quality and other preferences (settings.json).
• Clip and screenshot details: When each was recorded, the name of what was captured (for example a game title, window title or display), duration, edit history and audio track names (clip-meta.json, screenshot-meta.json), plus preview thumbnails (thumbnails\).
• Upload records: Which files you have uploaded, per account (uploads.json, screenshot-uploads.json).
• Game detection exclusions: A list of program names that are never treated as games (game-detector.json).
• Custom themes: Any theme files you add (themes\).

Screen, Audio and Game Detection

Revidi records your screen, desktop audio and microphone (each configurable) into a rolling buffer held in memory. Nothing is written to disk until you save a clip.

To detect games automatically and list windows you can capture, Revidi reads the titles and program names of open windows on your computer. This happens locally. The only part that can leave your computer is the name of the captured game or window, which is stored with each clip or screenshot and included if you upload it (see below).

Hotkeys

To respond to your hotkeys while you're in a game, Revidi watches keyboard input system-wide. Each key press is compared against your configured shortcuts and then discarded. Keystrokes are never recorded, stored or sent anywhere.

Logs and Crash Reports

Revidi writes diagnostic logs to %APPDATA%\revidi-desktop\logs\. They can include file paths, the names of captured games and windows, your hardware (GPU, monitors, audio devices) and error details. We keep your email address and sign-in tokens out of them.

If Revidi crashes, crash data is saved locally under %APPDATA%\revidi-desktop\Crashpad\ (the most recent five are kept). A crash file can contain whatever the app had in memory.

Logs and crash files are never uploaded automatically. They reach us only if you send them to us, for example when reporting a bug.

Desktop App: Data Sent Over the Internet

Account

An account is optional. Without one, Revidi records and saves clips with no cloud features. If you create one:

• Email address: For signing in, account emails (confirmation and password reset) and identifying your account.
• Password: Handled by our authentication provider, Supabase, which stores only a secure hash. Revidi never stores it.
• Sign-in session: Kept on your computer in auth.json, encrypted with Windows' built-in data protection so other Windows users can't read it. Signing out removes it.
• Plan: Whether your account is Free or Premium.

Supabase keeps standard security logs for sign-ins, which include IP addresses.

Cloud Uploads and Share Links

Signed-in users on both Free and Premium can upload clips and screenshots. Free accounts have a limited number of uploads; Premium accounts get more storage. Automatic upload is on by default once you sign in. You can switch it off separately for clips and screenshots in Settings, then upload individual items by hand.

When you upload a clip or screenshot, we store:

• The file: The clip (which Revidi may compress on your computer first) or the screenshot as a JPEG.
• A preview image: A single frame from each clip, used as the thumbnail on share pages and link previews.
• Details: A share ID, your account ID, the file name, the name of the captured game or window, when it was recorded, its file size and duration, and whether and when it was edited.

Each upload gets a share link. Anyone who has the link can view and download that clip or screenshot, and the page shows its file name, capture name and upload date. Share pages ask search engines not to index them, but we can't control where a link goes once you share it. Apps like Discord also fetch the preview image (and, for small clips, the video) when a link is posted.

If you edit an uploaded clip, the cloud copy is replaced with the edited version. You can delete uploads in the app or on your account page at revidi.app. Deleting removes the file, its preview image and its details from our storage, and its share link stops working. Deleting a cloud copy never touches the file on your computer.

When someone plays or downloads a shared clip, we add the clip's size to its owner's monthly transfer total. We don't record who the viewer was.

Usage Analytics (Mixpanel)

The app sends a small set of usage events to Mixpanel so we can see how Revidi is used and spot problems.

• Random identifier: A random ID created on first launch and stored in analytics.json.
• Email address (when signed in): Attached to your analytics profile and to events sent while you're signed in.
• Approximate location: Mixpanel estimates your city, region and country from your IP address.
• App and system: App version and Windows version.
• Events: App launches (and whether it's the first), saved clips (buffer length, capture mode and file size), failed saves (the error message and capture mode) and recording-engine errors (an error code).

Analytics never include your recordings or screenshots, file names or paths, window or game titles, or keystrokes.

To reset your analytics identifier, delete %APPDATA%\revidi-desktop\analytics.json; a new one is created on the next launch. To have existing analytics data deleted, contact us.

Updates

Revidi checks for updates when it starts and every four hours while running, by downloading a small version file from Amazon S3. The installer is downloaded only when you choose to update. Amazon may log your IP address for these requests; no account or personal information is sent.

Website (revidi.app)

Hosting

The site is hosted by Vercel, which processes standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) to serve pages and protect against abuse.

Vercel Web Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It records the page, referrer, browser, operating system, device type and country. It doesn't use cookies and doesn't follow you across sites. See Vercel's analytics privacy policy.

Google Ads

Our pages load Google's advertising tag (gtag.js) so we can measure whether our ads lead to downloads. When you click Download, the tag reports a conversion to Google. Google may set cookies and receive your IP address, browser details and the pages you visit, and may use them as described in How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can limit ad personalization at My Ad Center, or block third-party cookies in your browser.

Signing In on the Website

If you sign in at revidi.app, your session is kept in your browser's local storage until you sign out. Share pages also store a temporary marker in session storage so a clip's views aren't counted twice.

Payments

Premium subscriptions are processed by Stripe. Your card and billing details go directly to Stripe; we never see or store them. We keep your Stripe customer and subscription IDs, subscription status and billing period dates so we know your plan. See Stripe's privacy policy.

How We Use Information

• To provide Revidi: accounts, uploads, share links and Premium.
• To enforce plan limits on storage, upload count and monthly transfer.
• To understand usage, fix bugs and improve the app.
• To measure our advertising.
• To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.

We don't sell or rent your personal information, and we don't watch or analyze the content of your recordings.

Retention

• Local data stays on your computer until you delete it.
• Account information is kept until you ask us to delete your account.
• Uploaded clips and screenshots are kept until you delete them or your account.
• Monthly transfer totals are reset each billing period.
• Analytics, hosting and security logs are kept by the providers listed below under their own retention policies.

Service Providers

We use these providers to run Revidi. Most are based in the United States, so your data may be processed there.

• Supabase: Accounts, database and cloud storage for uploads. Privacy policy
• Mixpanel: Desktop app usage analytics. Privacy policy
• Stripe: Payments. Privacy policy
• Vercel: Website hosting and analytics. Privacy policy
• Google: Advertising conversion measurement on the website. Privacy policy
• Amazon Web Services: Hosts app updates and installers. Privacy policy

Recording is powered by OBS Studio, which runs entirely on your computer and sends nothing to us or to OBS.

Your Choices and Rights

• Use Revidi without an account: Nothing you record leaves your computer.
• Turn off automatic upload: In Settings, separately for clips and screenshots.
• Delete uploads: In the app or on your account page.
• Delete local data: Uninstalling removes the app but keeps your recordings and app data. Delete %APPDATA%\revidi-desktop\ to remove app data, and your clips folder to remove recordings.
• Delete your account: Email us and we'll delete your account, your uploads and your analytics data.

Depending on where you live (including the EEA, the UK and some US states), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, and to object to or restrict how we use it. Email us to make a request; we'll respond within the time the law requires. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Where the GDPR applies, we process account and upload data to provide the service you signed up for, and analytics, security and advertising measurement data based on our legitimate interest in running and improving Revidi.

Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Your sign-in session is encrypted on your computer, and database rules restrict your uploads and account data to your account, apart from items you share by link. No system is perfectly secure, so please keep your computer and Windows account protected too.

Recording Other People

You're responsible for having the right to record what you capture, including getting consent from anyone whose voice or image is recorded where the law requires it.

Children

Revidi is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes to This Policy

When we change this policy, we update the "Last updated" date above. For significant changes, we'll also give notice on the website or in the app's release notes.
