Privacy Policy — PrintScreen.ly
Last updated: May 13, 2026 · Effective: May 13, 2026
Bravely Studios LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the PrintScreen.ly application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.
Introduction
PrintScreen.ly includes Mac and Windows desktop apps, a web dashboard, and companion mobile apps on supported builds. Most capture and markup actions happen locally on your device. We collect only the data needed to authenticate you, sync screenshots when you choose cloud features, verify Pro access, deliver updates, and understand aggregate product usage.
Account & Authentication Data
When you create or use a PrintScreen.ly account, we collect the email address tied to that account. Depending on which sign-in method you use, we may also store password hashes, one-time login codes, session tokens, and the provider identifiers returned by Apple or Google.
Magic-code emails are delivered through our transactional email provider. Login sessions for the web dashboard are stored in secure cookies.
Screenshots & Cloud Sync
Desktop and mobile captures stay on your device unless you explicitly upload them or enable cloud sync. When you use cloud sync, uploaded screenshots and their metadata are stored in Bravely-managed storage so they can appear in the web dashboard and on your other signed-in devices. Pro accounts currently have a 2 GB synced-storage cap per account. Shared links you create can be accessed by anyone who has the link until you delete the item or remove the share.
Purchases, Entitlements & Device Registration
Web purchases are processed by our merchant-of-record billing provider. We store your Bravely Account identifier, contact email, plan status, transaction and entitlement identifiers supplied by our billing systems, plus device identifiers, device names, platform, app version, and last-seen timestamps so we can restore purchases, show your active devices, and enforce the 10-device limit for Pro accounts.
Analytics
The PrintScreen.ly website uses aggregate traffic reporting. The website, web dashboard, and supported native apps also use product analytics such as feature usage, session flow, error states, and app version. We do not send screenshot contents, filenames, image text, clipboard contents, or folder paths to analytics. Supported apps and the web dashboard include a setting to disable product analytics; aggregate site traffic reporting remains active.
Permissions
On macOS, PrintScreen.ly uses Screen Recording permission solely to capture screenshots you request. On iPhone and Android, supported builds may request camera or photo-library access so you can capture, import, save, or share screenshots and marked-up images. On Windows, PrintScreen.ly uses standard screen-capture APIs and local file access. We use these permissions only to perform the action you initiated.
Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect payment card details, contacts, microphone recordings, advertising identifiers, or your browsing history outside PrintScreen.ly.
We do not receive screenshot contents from local-only workflows. Screenshot pixels and image metadata reach our servers only when you choose a cloud feature such as upload, sync, or web sharing.
Third-Party Services
We share the minimum information required to operate the product with:
• Web billing provider - web billing, invoicing, and tax handling
• Entitlement provider - entitlement storage and purchase restoration
• Hosting and storage providers - hosting, database storage, object storage, and aggregate web analytics
• Product analytics provider - product analytics
• Apple or Google - only when you use those identity providers or store-managed purchase flows on supported builds
• Our transactional email provider - to deliver login codes and support-related email
We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
Data Retention & Deletion
Local screenshots and settings stay on your device until you delete them. Account records, synced screenshots, device registrations, and entitlement data are retained while your account is active. If your subscription ends, paid cloud and cross-device features may stop working, but we do not promise automatic deletion of synced files solely because billing ended. You can delete your account from the web dashboard or by emailing jeff@bravely.dev. Account deletion removes your sessions, device registrations, and dashboard data, and any screenshots you delete are purged from storage in our background cleanup flow within 30 days.
Children's Privacy
PrintScreen.ly is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
