The Sandbox Advantage
When it comes to screen recording, many people worry about privacy. Ironically, installing software is often more dangerous. In contrast, browser-based screen recorders operate within a 'sandbox'.

How GrabScreen Protects Your Data
GrabScreen takes privacy seriously:
- Permission Based: The browser blocks access until you click 'Allow'.
- Local Processing: Video is encoded on your device.
Understanding Local vs Cloud Recording
Local recording is the most private option. GrabScreen only uploads to the cloud when you explicitly click the upload button. This makes it safe for sensitive tasks like recording bug reports with internal data.
Conclusion
Online screen recording is safe when designed properly. Browser sandboxing and local processing work together to protect your privacy. You can confidently use GrabScreen knowing your data stays with you.
