Privacy policy
Last updated 1 November 2026
Reelaya is a Chrome extension developed by Shakawat Hridoy. This page explains what Reelaya does with your information. The short version: your recordings and screenshots stay on your computer, unless you share a video by link. Your Reelaya account holds your email address, your plan and how many videos and screenshots you made each month.
What stays on your computer
Reelaya saves your recordings, screenshots, edits and settings only inside your own browser, in Chrome’s storage for extensions on your computer. If you turn on “Capture console and network logs”, the console messages and the addresses of the network requests of the page you are recording are saved with that recording, also only on your computer. Request and response contents and headers are never captured, and nothing is captured from incognito windows. None of this is uploaded, except a video you choose to share by link.
Your account
You need a free account to use Reelaya. For it we keep:
- Your email address, and your password stored as a secure hash, so nobody can read it, including us. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address, name and profile picture from Google instead of a password.
- Your plan, and the date your Pro plan ends.
- How many videos and screenshots you made each month. These are counts only: never the recordings themselves, their titles or the pages you recorded.
- Sign in records our sign in provider keeps for security, such as when you signed in and from which IP address.
We use this only to sign you in, apply your plan and its limits, and contact you about your account or a payment.
Payments
When you upgrade to Pro, you send the payment with bKash and then tell us the plan, the bKash number you paid from, the transaction ID (TrxID) and your email address. We use these to find your payment in bKash and switch Pro on. bKash handles the money itself, under its own terms and privacy policy. We keep payment records for accounting, even after an account is deleted.
Shared videos
When you click Share link, Reelaya uploads a copy of that video, a preview picture, and captions if you choose them, with the title you give it. If you sign in with Google, the share page also shows the name on your Google account. Anyone who has the link can watch it. Links are not listed anywhere, and search engines are asked not to show them.
We count how many times each link is watched. To count each viewer once, their browser keeps a small note for that link, and our share service briefly keeps a one way scrambled code made from their IP address, which can’t be turned back into the address and expires within an hour. Nothing else about viewers is recorded, and there are no cookies or trackers on the share page.
You can stop a link at any time in Reelaya’s editor or on your account page. Its files are deleted at once; copies kept briefly in Cloudflare’s network expire within five minutes. Your shared videos are also deleted when you delete your account. We may remove a shared video that breaks our terms or the law.
What the extension sends
The extension talks to Reelaya’s servers only to sign you in, to keep you signed in, to check your plan, to count each recording or screenshot when you start it, and to upload a video when you share it by link. It contains no analytics, tracking or advertising code.
Who handles your data
We never sell your data or share it for advertising. These services handle it for us:
- Supabase stores your account, plan, usage and payment records, and handles sign in.
- Our email provider delivers the sign in emails, such as confirmation and password reset links.
- Cloudflare stores and delivers the videos you share by link.
- Google, only if you choose to sign in with Google, or choose Google’s online speech service for captions.
- Hostinger hosts this website.
Camera, microphone and screen
Reelaya uses your camera, microphone and screen only while you are recording, and only after you start a recording yourself. Chrome shows its usual indicators while they are in use.
The camera bubble is shown inside the page you record, so Chrome asks for camera access on behalf of that website and remembers your answer for it. If you choose “Allow while visiting the site”, that website may also use your camera later without asking again. To avoid that, choose “Allow this time”. You can change it any time from the icon at the left of Chrome’s address bar.
Captions
Live captions are made on your computer by default. If you choose “Google speech service” in Reelaya’s settings, Chrome’s built in speech recognition sends the recording’s audio to Google to make the transcript: your microphone, plus any tab or system sound you record, so other voices in it too. Google handles it under its own privacy policy. Reelaya never receives that audio.
How long we keep it, and your choices
Your account data is kept until you delete your account, and a shared video until you stop sharing it or delete your account. You can see your plan, usage and payments on your account page, change your password there, and delete your account there at any time. Deleting it removes your account, plan and usage straight away; payment records are kept for accounting. For a copy of your data or any other request, email info@reelaya.com.
To delete recordings and screenshots, delete them in the Reelaya library, or remove the extension from Chrome, which deletes everything Reelaya stored in your browser.
This website
This website uses no analytics, no advertising and no cookies. When you sign in here, your sign in is kept in your browser’s local storage so you stay signed in; if the Reelaya extension is installed, it keeps the sign in instead. Fonts are served from this site, not from a third party. Like any website, our hosting provider may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses, for security.
Children
Reelaya is not meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly create accounts for them.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions are welcome at info@reelaya.com, or see the contact page.
