Video Call & Screen Recorder
Privacy Policy
Effective 18 September 2026·Last updated 18 September 2026
In short
This app collects nothing about you. It has no internet permission, so it is not technically capable of sending your recordings — or anything else — anywhere.
-
No internet access. The app does not request the
INTERNETpermission, so nothing it records or stores can leave your phone through the app. - No accounts, no analytics, no ads. There is no sign-in, no advertising identifier, no tracking library and no crash reporting inside the app.
- Recordings stay on your device. They are ordinary MP4 files in your phone’s own storage, under your control.
- Every permission serves a feature you chose. The microphone is used only while you are recording with the microphone switch turned on.
1Who this policy covers
This privacy policy explains how the Android application Video Call & Screen Recorder (package name com.videocall.screenrecorder), published by Gurukrupa Infosoft (“we”, “us”), handles information. It applies to that app as distributed on Google Play, and to no other product or service.
The app is a screen recorder. It captures what is on your screen, optionally together with audio, and saves the result as a video file on your phone. It is built to do that entirely offline, and this policy describes an app that genuinely has no servers, no accounts and no way of reaching the internet.
2Information we collect
None. We do not collect, receive, store or process any personal information about you or your device.
In particular, the app does not collect any of the following:
- Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any account or profile information — the app has no sign-in and no user accounts.
- Advertising identifiers, device identifiers, IP addresses, or any other identifier that could be tied to you.
- Analytics or usage statistics. There is no analytics library in the app, so no record of what you tap, how long you record, or how often you open it is ever created or transmitted.
- Crash reports or diagnostic logs sent off the device.
- Location data of any kind. The app requests no location permission.
- Contacts, call logs, messages, calendar entries, or content belonging to other apps.
- The contents of your recordings. Your video and audio are written to a file on your device and are never read, analysed, uploaded or inspected by us.
Because nothing is collected, there is nothing for us to sell, share, rent, profile, or pass to a data broker — and we do none of those things.
3The app has no internet access
This is the technical foundation of everything above. An Android app can only use the network if it declares the android.permission.INTERNET permission in its manifest. This app does not declare it. Android therefore blocks any network connection the app might attempt — whether by us, by an included library, or by mistake.
You can check this yourself. On the app’s Google Play listing, open App info › App permissions › See more, and note that “full network access” does not appear in the list.
A practical consequence: the app cannot back your recordings up to a cloud, cannot sync anything between devices, and cannot show you advertising. Those are all things it will not do because it cannot do them.
4Your recordings
When you stop a recording, the app saves an MP4 file to your phone’s shared video storage, in Movies › ScreenRecorder, through Android’s MediaStore. That means:
- The file is an ordinary video on your device. Your gallery app can see it, and you can play, copy, rename, move, share or delete it from any app with storage access.
- The Library screen inside the app is simply a view of those files. Thumbnails, durations and playback are all produced on your device as you use the app.
- Deleting a recording in the app deletes the underlying file. On some Android versions the system shows its own confirmation before the deletion happens.
- Uninstalling the app does not delete your recordings, because they live in shared storage that belongs to you rather than to the app. Delete them yourself if you want them gone.
We never receive a copy of a recording, and no part of one is transmitted anywhere by the app.
5Microphone and device audio
Microphone
The app can mix your microphone into a recording so that you can narrate. The microphone is used only while a recording is running, and only when the microphone switch is turned on. It is never opened when you are not recording. The audio goes straight into the video file being written — it is not stored separately, kept for later, or sent anywhere. You can turn the microphone off before or during a recording, and you can revoke the permission at any time in Android Settings.
Device audio
The app can also record the sound your phone is playing, using Android’s playback-capture feature. Android decides what may be captured, not the app: every app chooses whether recorders are allowed to capture its sound, and many media and streaming apps opt out. Audio from phone and video calls can never be captured by any app on Android — it travels on a protected channel — so call audio can only reach your recording through your microphone, on speakerphone.
Android also lets apps mark their screens as protected; banking apps, streaming video and password fields commonly do. The system blanks that content in every screen recording, on every recorder. This is the platform protecting other apps’ data, and nothing in this app can override it.
6Permissions and why they exist
An Android permission is how an app is allowed to use a capability of your phone. Below is every permission this app declares, what it is for, and what happens if you decline it.
| Permission | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Screen captureMediaProjectionGranted each time | Records what is on your screen. This is not a permission the app can hold on to: Android shows its own consent dialog, and on Android 14 and newer it appears every single time a recording starts. You choose there whether to share the whole screen or a single app. Declining simply means no recording is made. |
| MicrophoneRECORD_AUDIOOptional | Mixes your voice into a recording. Used only while recording, and only with the microphone switch on. Decline it and the app records silently, or with device audio only. |
| NotificationsPOST_NOTIFICATIONSOptional | Shows the recording notification with its pause and stop buttons. Android requires a visible notification while an app records the screen; declining the permission only hides those controls from your notification shade. |
| Foreground serviceFOREGROUND_SERVICE FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USEAutomatic |
Keeps the recording, and the floating control, running while you use other apps. Android requires screen recording to run in a foreground service of the media-projection type. These are granted at install time and involve no data of yours. |
| Display over other appsSYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOWOptional | Draws the floating bubble that lets you start, pause and stop a recording without returning to the app. This is a special access you grant in system settings; it stays off until you turn the bubble on, and the bubble reads nothing from the screen it floats over. |
| Photos and videosREAD_MEDIA_VIDEO READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 12 and below)Optional |
Asked for only from an empty Library, so that recordings made before the app was reinstalled become visible again. Android already lets the app manage the recordings it created itself without any permission. The app looks only in its own Movies › ScreenRecorder folder; it does not read, index or upload your other photos and videos. |
No permission is used for any purpose other than the one described here.
7Settings and Android backup
Your preferences — resolution, frame rate, bitrate, orientation, countdown, audio switches, appearance and so on — are stored in the app’s private storage on your phone. They contain no personal information, and the app never sends them anywhere.
If you have Android’s own backup turned on for your Google Account, the operating system may include that preferences file in your device backup and restore it when you set up a new phone. That backup is made and encrypted by Android, not by this app, and is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. Your recordings are never included in it. You can turn backup off in Android Settings.
Uninstalling the app removes its private storage, and with it every setting.
8Third parties, ads and analytics
The app contains no advertising networks, no analytics services and no third-party tracking libraries. Nothing inside it reports to Google Analytics, Firebase, Facebook, AdMob or any comparable service.
The only libraries it includes are Google’s own Android and Jetpack components, used to build the interface and to play back video. They run on your device as part of the app and send nothing on its behalf — and, again, they could not, because the app has no network access.
Google Play itself handles distribution, installation and updates, and Google may collect information about that in its role as the store. That is covered by Google’s Privacy Policy, not by this one.
10Children’s privacy
The app is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children. It collects no personal information from anyone, which necessarily includes children, so we hold no data belonging to a child and there is nothing for a parent or guardian to ask us to delete. If you believe otherwise, please write to us at the address below.
11Your choices and your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights over personal data a company holds about you: to access it, correct it, delete it, take it elsewhere, or object to its use. We hold no personal data about you at all, so there is nothing for us to disclose, correct, export or erase, and no request of that kind can be acted on because no record of you exists.
What you control stays entirely on your phone:
- Your recordings: delete them in the Library, in your gallery, or from any file manager.
- Permissions: revoke microphone, notification, photos-and-videos or overlay access at any time in Android Settings › Apps › Video Call & Screen Recorder.
- Screen capture: stop a recording at any moment from the app, the notification, the floating control, or the system’s own recording indicator.
- Your settings: uninstalling the app erases them; turning Android backup off keeps them off your Google Account.
You are welcome to write to us with any privacy question regardless, and we will answer it.
12Security
The strongest protection here is structural: data that is never collected and never transmitted cannot be intercepted in transit or exposed by a breach of a server, because there is no transit and there is no server.
Your recordings and settings are protected by your device’s own security — its lock screen, its encryption, and the sandbox Android places around every app. Keeping your phone updated and locked is the most effective step you can take. Once you share a recording with another app or another person, its security is in their hands.
13Recording other people
Laws about recording calls, meetings and conversations differ widely between countries, states and regions, and some require the consent of everyone involved. It is your responsibility to make sure that what you record is lawful where you are, and that anyone who may be recorded has agreed to it where the law requires. Please use the app respectfully, and do not use it to record people without their knowledge.
14Google Play Data Safety
Google Play asks every developer to declare their app’s data practices. Our declaration for this app is:
- Data collected
- None
- Data shared with third parties
- None
- Data encrypted in transit
- No data is transmitted
- Way to request data deletion
- No data is held
This policy and that declaration describe the same app and are meant to agree with each other exactly.
15Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, this policy will be updated before or alongside that release, and the “Last updated” date at the top of the page will change with it. Because the app has no internet access, it cannot notify you from inside the app; significant changes will be described in the app’s Google Play release notes, and this page always holds the current version.
Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the policy as it then stands.
16Contact us
If you have any question about this policy, or about privacy in the app, please get in touch. We aim to reply within a few business days.
