Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7/20/2025

Our Commitment to Privacy

göster is designed with privacy at its core. We collect the absolute minimum data necessary to provide our screen recording service. This policy explains exactly what we collect and why.

What We Actually Collect

1. Temporary Video Data

  • Screen recordings: Videos you upload (WebM, MP4, or OGG format)
  • Automatic deletion: All videos are permanently deleted after 24 hours
  • Size limit: Maximum 100MB per video

2. Technical Data (Rate Limiting Only)

  • IP addresses: Used only for rate limiting to prevent abuse
  • Stored in memory: Never saved to database, automatically cleared
  • No tracking: We don't track your activity across sessions

3. Link Metadata

  • Short codes: Random identifiers for your sharing links
  • Timestamps: When links are created and expire
  • View count: Number of times a video is viewed (stored but not displayed)

What We DON'T Collect

  • No user accounts: This is a completely anonymous service
  • No personal information: No names, emails, or identifiers
  • No cookies: We don't use any cookies at all
  • No analytics: No Google Analytics or tracking pixels
  • No permanent storage: Everything is deleted after 24 hours

How We Use Your Data

  • Video delivery: To let recipients view your screen recordings
  • Rate limiting: To prevent service abuse using temporary IP data
  • Link management: To create and expire sharing links after 24 hours

Data Storage

We use two storage methods:

  • PostgreSQL database: For link metadata and video data (if Telegram is not configured)
  • Telegram (optional): For efficient video storage via Telegram Bot API

All data is automatically deleted after 24 hours, no exceptions.

Browser Storage

Your browser stores:

  • localStorage: List of links you've created (client-side only)
  • No server sync: This data never leaves your device
  • You control it: Clear your browser data to remove it

Third-Party Services

  • Telegram Bot API (optional): Used only for storing videos efficiently
  • No other third parties: No CDNs, analytics, or external services

Security Measures

  • HTTPS only: All connections are encrypted
  • Input validation: File type and size verification
  • Rate limiting: Protection against abuse
  • Automatic cleanup: 24-hour data retention limit

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data:

  • There's no personal data to access or download
  • There's no account to delete
  • All data automatically deletes after 24 hours
  • You can clear your browser's localStorage anytime

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect any data from children.
