Privacy policy

Updated October 4, 2026

In short: your recordings never leave your computer. The site uses Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics to see how the page is used, and Google AdSense to show ads.

Your recordings stay on your computer

RecordOnWeb records sound and your screen inside your browser. Recordings are saved straight to your computer, in your Downloads folder or a folder you choose. They are never uploaded to us or anyone else.

While you record, the app keeps a backup in your browser’s storage, so you can recover the recording if the page closes. The backup is deleted when you save or discard the recording. Your settings, like the mic you chose, are also stored only in your browser.

Usage analytics (Microsoft Clarity)

We use Microsoft Clarity to see how the page is used, such as clicks, scrolling, and which options people pick, so we can make the app easier to use. Clarity collects information about your device and browser, your approximate location based on your IP address, and how you interact with the page.

File names, folder names, and device names are hidden from Clarity, and Clarity is set not to use cookies. Microsoft handles this data under the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Usage analytics (Google Analytics)

We also use Google Analytics to count visits and see which features people use. It collects information such as the pages you view, how you reached the site, your device and browser, and your approximate location, and it uses cookies to recognize repeat visits.

Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Ads (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to show ads, which keeps RecordOnWeb free.
