Record Google Meet & Any Tab – Local, No Bot: privacy policy

Effective date: 2026-11-14

Record Google Meet & Any Tab – Local, No Bot is a Chrome extension that records a Google Meet call, or any other browser tab, to a file on your computer. This policy explains what it does with your data.

Summary

The extension does not collect or sell any data, and recordings exist only on your computer. On its own it makes one kind of network request: if you entered a license key, it checks that key with Lemon Squeezy, the payment provider. "Share link" uploads the recording you choose straight from your computer to your own Google Drive.

What the extension handles, and where it stays

• The recorded tab's video and audio, and your microphone. Captured only after you start a recording, and only until it stops. While recording, the data is written in pieces to the extension's local storage (IndexedDB) so that it survives a browser crash. When the recording is saved to your Downloads folder, those pieces are deleted. If saving doesn't finish, they stay until you save or discard them from the extension's popup.
• Microphone access. Requested once, on the extension's welcome page. The microphone is used only while a recording is running.
• Three things read from the Google Meet page: whether your microphone is muted (so the recording follows Meet's mute button), whether you are still in the call (to stop the recording when you leave), and the meeting title (to name the file). Nothing else on the page is read, including chat messages, participant names and captions.
• The title of any other tab you record, to name the file. It is read once, when you start recording, and only for that tab.
• The recording notice. If you leave "Tell participants in the chat" switched on, the extension posts and pins a short message in the meeting chat when you start recording, and posts another when you stop. These messages go through Google Meet like any chat message you type.
• Saved recordings kept for sharing. In versions with "Share link", the pieces of a saved recording stay in the extension's local storage for 7 days, so the file can be uploaded later. They are deleted after that, after a successful share, or when you delete the recording on the Recordings page.
• Settings and state. Your choices in the popup (chat notice, audio only, microphone), the state of a running recording, and a count of saved recordings (used to ask once for a rating, and to tell how many free recordings are left) are kept in Chrome's extension storage on your computer.

Purchases and the license key

The first recordings are free. After that, recording needs a purchase.

• Buying happens on Lemon Squeezy's checkout page, not in the extension. Lemon Squeezy is the seller of record and handles your email and payment details under its own privacy policy (https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/privacy). The extension never sees them.
• As with any online purchase, the developer sees the order in Lemon Squeezy's dashboard: your name, email and country. They are used only for support and refunds.
• After the purchase you get a license key. When you paste it into the extension, the extension sends the key to Lemon Squeezy's license service to activate it, and then at most once a day, when you open the popup, to check that it is still valid. The request carries the key and the id of this activation. It carries nothing about your recordings, meetings or browsing.
• The key and the result of the last check are kept in Chrome's extension storage on your computer.

Google Drive

Only when you click "Share link":

• Google asks for your consent the first time. The extension asks for one permission, drive.file: access only to files the extension itself creates in your Drive. It cannot see, change or delete anything else in your Drive.
• The recording is uploaded from your computer directly to your Google Drive through Google's API, and made viewable by anyone who has the link. The link is copied to your clipboard. The extension keeps the link and the file name in its local storage, so the Recordings page can show them.
• Nothing goes to the developer's servers. There are none.
• The file is yours. Google's privacy policy applies to it, and you can delete it or change its sharing in Drive at any time.
• "Disconnect Google Drive" on the Recordings page revokes the extension's access. You can also revoke it at https://myaccount.google.com/connections.

Uninstall survey

When you uninstall the extension, Chrome opens a short, optional survey page asking why. Its address carries only the extension's version and your Chrome interface language. Answering is up to you. The extension itself sends nothing to the survey.

What the extension does not do

• No analytics, tracking, advertising or crash reporting.
• No accounts and no servers of the developer's. The developer receives nothing from the extension, only survey answers you choose to submit and the order details of a purchase.
• No sharing with third parties, apart from the license key check described above.

Your control

Stop a recording at any time with the Stop button, by closing the tab or by leaving the call. Delete recordings from your Downloads folder like any other file. Uninstalling the extension removes its local storage, including any unsaved recording.

Consent of other participants

Recording laws differ between countries and regions, and some require everyone's consent. You are responsible for informing participants and getting their consent where required. The chat notice helps with informing them but is not consent.
