Please keep in mind that customers control their accounts and associated Customer Data. We use Customer Data according to our customers’ instructions and our Terms of Service. Customers are able to: (1) restrict, remove, disclose, and access content and information associated with the accounts in their Workspaces; (2) grant, deny, or limit access to those accounts and Workspaces; and (3) configure the privacy settings for those accounts and Workspaces. If you create a Screendesk account with your work email and you aren’t already part of your company’s Workspace, your company may have the ability to add your account (including the content in it) to its Workspace. We’ll give you notice before that happens.If information is aggregated or de-identified so that it can no longer be reasonably associated with an identifiable person, we may use it for any lawful purpose.
We share information outside of Screendesk only as described below:
Trusted Third Parties: We disclose information to our service providers or other third-parties so they can help us provide our Services and run our business. Examples include for storing Customer Data, payment processing, providing customer service, and helping us with our marketing activities. We’ll only disclose the information necessary for these parties to perform their services for us, and they’ll be bound by contractual obligations to protect your personal information.
Other Users: When you collaborate with others, we display your basic account or profile information for context. For example, if you share a Screendesk recording with another user, we’ll let them know that it was you who shared it. Also, when users interact with a video or other content on our Services, we make certain usage information visible to the video owner and viewers, such as who viewed a video (if the viewer is logged in at the time of viewing) or how many times a video was viewed.
Administrators: If you join a Workspace owned by another person or entity, the administrator of that Workspace has the right to access the content in it. Customers and their authorized users may choose to share and disclose information according to their own policies. Also, if you sign up for Screendesk with an email domain that is owned or managed by your employer or organization, we may share the fact that you have an account with us and some basic account information with your employer or organization.
Change in Business Structure: If Screendesk is involved in a merger, acquisition, public offering, asset sale, insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar change in our business structure, we may need to disclose your information to those involved in the transaction, subject to confidentiality requirements.
For Legal Reasons: We may release your information if we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, regulation, valid legal process, an enforceable government request, to prevent fraud or a security breach, enforce our policies or agreements, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.
With Your Consent: We’ll otherwise share your information only with your consent.For example, if you choose to enable a third-party integration, we may share account information and/or content from your account, but only as authorized by you when you enable or use the integration.
We are committed to protecting your information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, and loss. We use industry-standard security practices to keep your information secure, such as encryption, access controls, physical security measures, and internal reviews of data collection, use, and storage.

For example, if you access our Services from a foreign country, data may be stored locally on the device you use to access the Services.We perform data transfers in accordance with applicable data protection law, using the following safeguards:
Standard Contractual Clauses: Where required, we use standard contractual clauses to meet the data transfer requirements for processing personal data that is subject to the data protection laws of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and UK and for other international transfers of Customer Data to the extent required by applicable law. Our Data Processing Addendum incorporates the standard contractual clauses.
Other Valid Transfers: We will otherwise only transfer personal data to a country that the European Commission or UK authorities have determined provides an adequate level of protection for personal data or pursuant to another legally valid personal data transfer mechanism.
Privacy Shield: While Screendesk remains self-certified under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks and is committed to applying the Privacy Shield Principles to personal data received from the EU or Switzerland, we do not rely on those frameworks as a legal basis for personal data transfers.

We also recognize that however good the maker’s intentions, technology can amplify the ability to cause great harm. That’s why we’ve established this policy. We feel an ethical obligation to counter such harm: both in terms of dealing with instances where Screendesk is used (and abused) to further such harm, and to state unequivocally that the products we make at Screendesk are not safe havens for people who wish to commit such harm. If you have an account with any of our products, you can’t use them for any of the restricted purposes listed below. If we find out you are, we will take action.
Violence, or threats thereof: If an activity qualifies as violent crime in the United States or where you live, you may not use Screendesk products to plan, perpetrate, or threaten that activity.
Child exploitation, sexualization, or abuse: We don’t tolerate any activities that create, disseminate, or otherwise cause child abuse. Keep away and stop. Just stop.
Hate speech: You cannot use our products to advocate for the extermination, domination, or oppression of people.
Harassment: Intimidating or targeting people or groups through repeated communication, including using racial slurs or dehumanizing language, is not welcome at Screendesk.
Doxing: If you are using Screendesk products to share other peoples’ private personal information for the purposes of harassment, we don’t want anything to do with you.
Malware or spyware: Code for good, not evil. If you are using our products to make or distribute anything that qualifies as malware or spyware — including remote user surveillance — begone.
Phishing or otherwise attempting fraud: It is not okay to lie about who you are or who you affiliate with to steal from, extort, or otherwise harm others.
Spamming: No one wants unsolicited commercial emails. We don’t tolerate folks (including their bots) using Screendesk products for spamming purposes. If your emails don’t pass muster with or any other anti-spam law, it’s not allowed.
Cybersquatting: We don’t like username extortionists. If you purchase a Screendesk product account in someone else’s name and then try to sell that account to them, you are . Cybersquatting accounts are subject to immediate cancellation.
Infringing on intellectual property: You can’t use Screendesk products to make or disseminate work that uses the intellectual property of others beyond the bounds of .
While our use restrictions are comprehensive, they can’t be exhaustive — it’s possible an offense could defy categorization, present for the first time, or illuminate a moral quandary we hadn’t yet considered. That said, we hope the overarching spirit is clear: Screendesk is not to be harnessed for harm, whether mental, physical, personal or civic. Different points of view — philosophical, religious, and political — are welcome, but ideologies like white nationalism, or hate-fueled movements anchored by oppression, violence, abuse, extermination, or domination of one group over another, will not be accepted here.
For cases of suspected malware, spyware, phishing, spamming, and cybersquatting, please alert us at .
Please share as much as you are comfortable with about the account, the content or behavior you are reporting, and how you found it. Sending us a URL or screenshots is super helpful. If you need a secure file transfer, let us know and we will send you a link. We will not disclose your identity to anyone associated with the reported account.
Someone on our team will respond within one business day to let you know we’ve begun investigating.
*This policy and process applies to any product created and owned by Screendesk.

When we say “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” in this document, we are referring to Screendesk.
When we say “Services”, we mean any product created and maintained by Screendesk.
When we say “You” or “your”, we are referring to the people or organizations that own an account with one or more of our Services. We have specific ownership policies for our products: Screendesk.
We may update these Terms of Service in the future. These changes have been to clarify some of these terms by linking to an expanded related policy. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will refresh the date at the top of this page and take any other appropriate steps to notify account holders.
When you use our Services, now or in the future, you are agreeing to the latest Terms of Service. That’s true for any of our existing and future products and all features that we add to our Services over time. There may be times where we do not exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service; in doing so, we are not waiving that right or provision. These terms do contain a limitation of our liability.
If you violate any of the terms, we may terminate your account. That’s a broad statement and it means you need to place a lot of trust in us.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. The Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. We recommend users set up two-factor authentication for added security. In some of our Services, we may require it.
You may not use the Services for any purpose outlined in our
You are responsible for all content posted and activity that occurs under your account. That includes content posted by others who either: (a) have access to your login credentials; or (b) have their own logins under your account.
You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.
If you are using a free version of one of our Services, it is really free: we do not ask you for your credit card and — just like for customers who pay for our Services — we do not sell your data.
For paid Services that offer a free trial, we explain the length of trial when you sign up. After the trial period, you need to pay in advance to keep using the Service. If you do not pay, we will freeze your account and it will be inaccessible until you make payment. If your account has been frozen for a while, we will queue it up for auto-cancellation.
If you are upgrading from a free plan to a paid plan, we will charge your card immediately and your billing cycle starts on the day of upgrade. For other upgrades or downgrades in plan level, the new rate starts from the next billing cycle.
All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties.
We process refunds according to our Fair Refund policy.
If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid up month, your cancellation will take effect immediately, and you will not be charged again. We do not automatically prorate unused time in the last billing cycle.
Verbal, physical, written or other abuse (including threats of abuse or retribution) of Company employee or officer will result in immediate account termination.
We make a promise to our customers to support our Services until the end of the Internet. That means when it comes to security, privacy, and customer support, we will continue to maintain any legacy Services. Sometimes it becomes technically impossible to continue a feature or we redesign a part of our Services because we think it could be better or we decide to close new signups of a product. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of our Services with or without notice.
Sometimes we change the pricing structure for our products. When we do that, we tend to exempt existing customers from those changes. However, we may choose to change the prices for existing customers. If we do so, we will give at least 30 days notice and will notify you via the email address on record. We may also post a notice about changes on our websites or the affected Services themselves.
We reserve the right to temporarily disable your account if your usage significantly exceeds the average usage of other customers of the Services. Of course, we’ll reach out to the account owner before taking any action except in rare cases where the level of use may negatively impact the performance of the Service for other customers.
We take many measures to protect and secure your data through backups, redundancies, and encryption. We enforce encryption for data transmission from the public Internet.
When you use our Services, you entrust us with your data. We take that trust to heart. You agree that Screendesk may process your data as described in our Privacy Policy and for no other purpose. We as humans can access your data for the following reasons:
To help you with support requests you make. We’ll ask for express consent before accessing your account.
On the rare occasions when an error occurs that stops an automated process partway through. We get automated alerts when such errors occur. When we can fix the issue and restart automated processing without looking at any personal data, we do. In rare cases, we have to look at a minimum amount of personal data to fix the issue. In these rare cases, we aim to fix the root cause as much as possible to avoid the errors from reoccurring.
To safeguard Screendesk. We’ll look at logs and metadata as part of our work to ensure the security of your data and the Services as a whole. If necessary, we may also access accounts as part of an abuse report investigation.
To the extent required by applicable law.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Screendesk is a “service provider”, not a “business” or “third party”, with respect to your use of the Services. That means we process any data you share with us only for the purpose you signed up for and as described in these Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We do not retain, use, disclose, or sell any of that information for any other commercial purposes unless we have your explicit permission. And on the flip-side, you agree to comply with your requirements under the CCPA and not use Screendesk’s Services in a way that violates the regulations.
These Service Terms incorporate the Screendesk Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”), when the General Data Protection regulation (“GDPR”) applies to your use of Screendesk Services to process Customer Data as defined in the DPA.

Regardless of whether you execute or not, we protect and secure your data to the high standards set out in the addendum.

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Services, use of the Services, or access to the Services without the express written permission by the Company.
You must not modify another website so as to falsely imply that it is associated with the Services or the Company.
We design our Services with care, based on our own experience and the experiences of customers who share their time and feedback. However, there is no such thing as a service that pleases everybody. We make no guarantees that our Services will meet your specific requirements or expectations.
We also test all of our features extensively before shipping them. As with any software, our Services inevitably have some bugs. We track the bugs reported to us and work through priority ones, especially any related to security or privacy. Not all reported bugs will get fixed and we don’t guarantee completely error-free Services.
We offer Application Program Interfaces (“API”s) for some of our Services. Any use of the API, including through a third-party product that accesses the Services, is bound by the terms of this agreement plus the following specific terms:
You expressly understand and agree that we are not liable for any damages or losses resulting from your use of the API or third-party products that access data via the API.
Third parties may not access and employ the API if the functionality is part of an application that remotely records, monitors, or reports a Service user’s activity other than time tracking, both inside and outside the applications. The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine if an integration service violates this bylaw. A third party that has built and deployed an integration for the purpose of remote user surveillance will be required to remove that integration.
Abuse or excessively frequent requests to the Services via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account’s access to the API. The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. If we need to suspend your account’s access, we will attempt to warn the account owner first. If your API usage could or has caused downtime, we may cut off access without prior notice. Some third-party providers have created integrations between our Services and theirs. We are not liable or accountable for any of these third-party integrations.
We mention liability throughout these Terms but to put it all in one section:
You expressly understand and agree that the Company shall not be liable, in law or in equity, to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, lost profits, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use the Services; (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the Services; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (iv) statements or conduct of any third party on the service; (v) or any other matter relating to this Terms of Service or the Services, whether as a breach of contract, tort (including negligence whether active or passive), or any other theory of liability.
In other words: choosing to use our Services does mean you are making a bet on us. If the bet does not work out, that’s on you, not us. We do our darnedest to be as safe a bet as possible through careful management of the business; investments in security, infrastructure, and talent; and in general giving a damn. If you choose to use our Services, thank you for betting on us.
If you have a question about any of the Terms of Service, please support@screendesk.io.
At Screendesk, our users’ privacy is at the core of our decision making. We provide a service that changes the way we work and allows us to be more expressive and informative in our daily work communication. Sensitive information may pass through our systems, and we don’t take that lightly.We have created this page to show you how our systems use your data. For more information about how we use personal data, please view our .
Your text-based data is comprised of things like your name, notifications, password, linked accounts like Google and Slack, video names, comments, transcripts, and so on. The majority of this data is stored on an encrypted database at both rest and in-transit within AWS.
This includes your avatars, videos and thumbnails. These files are stored on our encrypted S3 buckets, which can only be accessed by certain robots and engineers within our organization who have special access.
We only send data to trusted third-party systems that are subject to strict privacy and security controls. We think it’s important you understand not only what these systems are but also why we send your data to these systems. If you don’t agree with or understand our reasoning, please email us at support@screendesk.io. If you do not agree with your data going to a specific system, deleting your Screendesk account will permanently delete all of your data from all our systems. If you participate in a Screendesk paid account, only the Screendesk account administrator at your organization can delete your data. For folks coming to figure out GDPR compliance, the following third-party services act as data processors for us. When we work with these service providers in our capacity as a data processor for our customers' personal data, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) calls these third-party service providers a sub-processor. A subprocessor is a third party data processor engaged by Screendesk who may have access to or process personal data: (i) on behalf of Screendesk customers; (ii) in accordance with customer instructions as communicated by Screendesk; and (iii) in accordance with the terms of a written contract between Screendesk and the subprocessor.

Why: Intercom has drastically increased our ability to address bugs and handle requests from our users (that’s you!) over when we used to primarily use email. As a part of being able to maintain your relationship with us on this platform, we have to know who you are. We only know this once you’ve created an account, but we use this information for various debugging purposes and to send you product updates and announcements.

Nature of Processing: Error logging service
What: Honeybadger is used as our error logging platform. When you get an error, we get it too so we can better fix these bugs as soon as possible.
Why: No one likes bugs! Data sent to Honeybadger includes IP address and your Screendesk ID and no other personal information. We grab your IP to get a general location the error is happening in and potentially pin-down bugs that have to do with timezones. We send your user ID so we can more quickly search and diagnose issues surfaced by our users in our customer support panel (Help Scout). Your user ID does not reveal any other personal information to the engineer investigating the issue.
Location: United States
Nature of Processing: authentication and authorization process for our SaaS application and ensure that only authorized users have access to our product. (Enterprise customers only).
Why: This helps us meet compliance requirements, reduce the risk of security breaches, and provide a seamless user experience for our enterprise customers. Additionally, WorkOS allows us to centralize the management of user identities and permissions, simplifying the process of onboarding and offboarding users. By relying on WorkOS for identity management, we can focus on delivering value to our customers while leaving the complex identity management tasks to the experts.
Our non-technical team members have access to Intercom, which allows every person at Screendesk to be able to do customer support. Over time, this will become more restricted as we scale up the team to only be customer support individuals. Our technical team can be granted temporary access to our servers, video and thumbnail storage layers. This is only for debugging or development purposes. Each engineer has a unique key that identifies them within our systems. All actions are logged for 6 years. If their key is compromised, we have an instantaneous way of expiring that key, checking if their key was used by an outsider, and processes to remedy such situations and alert the affected user base. So far, this has never happened in Screendesk's history, and we’re very proud of that.
Videos: You can export all of your video data by downloading each individual video. Text-based Data: Your user information, folders and video metadata can be exported by emailing us. If you ever want to delete your data, deleting your account will permanently delete all of your data off our systems.
Encryption is a process where data is scrambled with a specific secret that only a select few have. If this data is stolen, it cannot be understood unless the stealer has the proper secret. All of your personally-identifiable data (videos, images and text) are encrypted at-rest and in-transit across all systems.
Your data is being sent from one location to another (usually one server/computer to another)
Your data is physically being stored on a device (usually a server)
This is where we store larger (usually media) files such as images and videos
This is a server that stores data that relates to one another. In other words, this is where we can query to answer questions like: "what is a user?", "does a user own one or many videos?"
