Privacy Policy

Short version: Cinder does not collect your recordings or any personal data. The app runs entirely on your own computer, and this website uses only anonymous, aggregated analytics. There are no accounts and nothing to sign up for.

The Cinder app

Cinder is a desktop application that records and edits screen video on your machine. All capture, editing, and video encoding happen locally on your device. Cinder has no servers and no account system, which means:

• Your recordings, audio, webcam video, and project files never leave your computer unless you choose to share or upload them yourself.
• The app sends no analytics, telemetry, or usage data.
• No account, email address, or login is ever required.

Cinder bundles the open-source ffmpeg tool to encode video. It runs locally as part of exporting and does not transmit your files anywhere.

This website

This site (cinder.talktodre.org) is a static page hosted on Vercel. It uses Vercel Web Analytics, which records anonymous, aggregated page views and performance metrics. It does not use tracking cookies, does not build an advertising profile of you, and does not collect information that identifies you personally. The site sets no cookies of its own and runs no third-party advertising or social trackers.

Downloads

The Cinder installer is hosted on GitHub Releases. When you download it, GitHub may log the request as described in the GitHub Privacy Statement. That happens on GitHub’s servers and is outside our control.

What we never do

• We never sell, rent, or trade your data.
• We never access the contents of your recordings.
• We never share personal data with advertisers.

Changes

If this policy changes, the “Last updated” date above will change with it. Because the app processes everything locally, updates here will usually concern the website rather than the software.
