Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 13, 2026
ScreenChat is a desktop app that lets you ask an AI assistant about what's on your screen, through text, screenshots, and live voice. This policy explains what data we collect, how it's used, and the choices you have.
We've tried to keep this readable. If anything is unclear, email support@screenchat.im.
1. Information we collect
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and a securely hashed password. Authentication is handled by Supabase.
Content you send to the assistant
- Text messages you type to the assistant.
- Screenshots, only when you explicitly capture one (via the camera button; screen capture is opt-in and never automatic). Captured images are sent to the AI provider to generate a response and stored with your chat history so you can refer back to them.
- Live voice & screen: when you start a live voice session, your microphone audio and periodic frames of your shared screen are streamed to the AI provider in real time so the assistant can respond. A text transcript of the conversation is saved to your chat history.
Usage and account data
- Your chat history (messages, transcripts, titles, and screenshot thumbnails).
- Your subscription tier (free or Pro) and remaining voice allowance.
- Basic usage counters and rate-limit state used to operate and protect the service.
Payment information
Purchases are processed by our payments provider, Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record. They collect and process your payment details, so we never receive or store your full card number. We retain only the subscription status needed to provide Pro features.
2. How we use your information
- To provide the core service, generating AI responses to your text, screenshots, and voice.
- To save and sync your chat history across sessions.
- To manage your account, subscription, and voice allowance.
- To maintain security, prevent abuse, and enforce rate limits.
- To respond to support requests you send us.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your conversations or screenshots for advertising.
3. AI processing & third-party services
To deliver ScreenChat, we share data with the service providers ("subprocessors") below. Each processes data only to provide their part of the service, under their own privacy terms.
| Provider | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Gemini API) | Generating AI responses; live voice and screen understanding | Your text messages, captured screenshots, live audio, and live screen frames |
| Supabase | Authentication, database, and file storage | Account email, chat history, screenshots, subscription and usage data |
| Lemon Squeezy | Payments and subscription billing | Billing details you provide at checkout |
| Vercel | Hosting this website | Standard web request logs (e.g. IP address) |
4. Data retention
Your account information and chat history are retained until you delete them or close your account. You can delete individual chats from within the app at any time. If you'd like your account and all associated data deleted, contact support@screenchat.im and we'll remove it.
5. Security
We rely on established providers (Supabase, Google, Lemon Squeezy) with industry-standard security practices, and data is transmitted over encrypted connections. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
6. Your choices
- Screenshots are opt-in: nothing from your screen is captured unless you press the camera button or start a live voice session.
- You can delete chats, and request full account deletion, at any time.
- You can stop using the service and cancel your subscription whenever you like.
7. Children
ScreenChat is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be communicated where appropriate.
