1. What GhostStream processes

GhostStream processes the HTML5 video and audio stream selected by the user solely to create a recording on the user's device. Recorded media is not transmitted to our servers or to advertising or analytics providers.

2. License activation

When a user voluntarily activates GhostStream Pro, the entered license key and a randomly generated browser-instance identifier are sent to the GhostStream licensing service to activate and validate the license. Device identifiers are stored by the service only as one-way hashes. The extension stores the license key, signed entitlement token, activation result, and instance identifier locally in Chrome storage.

3. Payments

Purchases are completed on a secure checkout page operated by the payment provider displayed at checkout. The current licensing service supports Paddle and PayPal payment confirmations. GhostStream and its licensing service do not receive or store card numbers or other payment credentials.

4. Browser permissions

Host access is used to locate compatible video elements and inject recording controls. Storage retains local license and session state. Alarms and an offscreen document coordinate active recordings, clean up expired sessions, and reduce interruption when a tab moves to the background. GhostStream does not request the Chrome tabs permission.

5. Sharing and sale of data

We do not sell user data. We do not transfer user data for advertising, profiling, credit decisions, or purposes unrelated to GhostStream's single purpose. The licensing service processes only the purchase, license and hashed device data necessary to provide activation, validation, refunds and device-limit enforcement.

6. Retention and control

Local extension data remains in the user's Chrome profile until the extension data is cleared or GhostStream is uninstalled. Users can remove downloaded recordings using their normal file-management tools.

7. Children and changes

GhostStream is a general-purpose productivity tool and is not directed to children. Material changes to this policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

1. Permitted use

GhostStream is a general-purpose, local HTML5 video recording tool intended only for non-DRM content that the user is legally permitted to access, copy, or save. Permitted examples may include user-created content, content expressly authorized by the copyright owner, public-domain content, and other uses allowed by applicable law.

2. User responsibility

Before recording, saving, using, sharing, or distributing content, users are solely responsible for confirming compliance with applicable laws, website terms, copyright licenses, privacy rights, publicity rights, and other third-party rights. Access to a video does not by itself grant permission to copy or distribute it.

3. Prohibited use

GhostStream must not be used to bypass DRM, paywalls, access controls, encryption, or other technological protection measures. It must not be used to infringe copyright, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other legal rights, or to record or distribute unlawful content.

4. No content service or affiliation

GhostStream does not provide, host, upload, analyze, or distribute recorded media. It does not represent that a user has permission from a content owner or website and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any video platform, content provider, website, or browser vendor. Recordings are generated and stored locally on the user's device.

5. Assumption of responsibility

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, users are responsible for their use of GhostStream and the resulting consequences. Users assume responsibility for complaints, claims, penalties, losses, or disputes arising from unauthorized recording, storage, use, sharing, or distribution of content.

6. Purchases, licenses, and device limits

When GhostStream Pro becomes available, it will be offered as a one-time purchase unless checkout clearly states otherwise. A Pro license is personal, non-transferable, and may be activated on up to three browser profiles or devices. A license may not be resold, published, shared as a public key, or used to provide access to unrelated third parties. The free Chrome Web Store release does not contain an active checkout or license-entry interface.

7. Refunds and revocation

A purchaser may request a refund within 14 days of purchase by emailing ronanzeng@gmail.com with the order email and transaction reference. Refunds are processed through the original payment provider. After a refund, chargeback, or fraudulent transaction, the associated Pro entitlement and device activations may be revoked. This policy does not limit any mandatory consumer rights available under applicable law.

8. Support and account security

Support requests should be sent to ronanzeng@gmail.com. Users are responsible for keeping license keys private and for reporting suspected unauthorized use. Never send payment-card numbers, account passwords, or other sensitive credentials in a support request.

9. No warranties and limitation of liability

GhostStream is provided “as is” and “as available,” without a guarantee of compatibility with any particular website, uninterrupted recording, output quality, or file integrity. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer disclaims liability for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or data-loss damages. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

10. Changes and legal advice

These terms may be updated when the product or applicable requirements change. If you are uncertain whether a recording is lawful, do not record it and consult a qualified legal professional in your jurisdiction.
