This notice explains the information handled by the Free Screencast Windows application and the free-screencast.com website. Effective August 15, 2026.
Free Screencast application
The application records and processes media locally. It does not require an account and contains no analytics SDK, advertising SDK, or automatic cloud-upload feature. Recordings, snapshots, trimmed copies, and GIF exports stay in the folders you choose unless you share them yourself.
Website request logs
The website does not currently use Google Analytics, advertising trackers, or third-party social-sharing scripts. The web server records standard request information including IP address, time, requested URL, response status, browser user agent, and referrer. We use these logs for security, abuse detection, reliability, download counts, and aggregate traffic analysis. Raw request logs are retained for up to 14 days. Aggregate reports without raw IP addresses may be retained for up to one year.
Cookies
Ordinary public pages do not set analytics or advertising cookies. WordPress may use essential session and security cookies for administrators and interactive forms. You can restrict cookies in your browser, although an interactive form may then work differently.
Information you send
If you contact us, we receive the contact details, message, and technical information you choose to provide. We use that information to respond and investigate the request. Do not send passwords, access tokens, or private recordings.
Downloads and external links
The official installer is served directly from free-screencast.com. Articles may link to external documentation; those sites receive information under their own privacy policies when you choose to open them.
Your choices and questions
You can use the application without creating an account, disable audio or camera sources, choose local output folders, delete recordings locally, and avoid sending a contact message. For privacy questions, use the contact page. See Security and privacy for installer verification and the application boundary.
