Security

Security designed around local screenshot work.

Capture minimizes what needs to leave your device and separates screenshot processing from account, subscription and optional multi-user administration services.

Minimal permissions

Capture uses Manifest V3 and avoids powerful permissions such as Chrome debugger access when they are not required for the product workflow.

No remote extension code

Executable extension code is packaged with the extension. Backend services provide account/entitlement data, not remotely downloaded executable extension logic.

Server-side Pro checks

When Pro or multi-user administration features are used, paid entitlement, device limits and access permissions are verified by backend services rather than trusted solely from editable local storage. A time-limited entitlement cache can support brief offline use, but normal screenshot pixels and local project content are not part of the entitlement request.

Privacy masking

Blur and pixelate help obscure information, but highly sensitive secrets should be fully covered, removed or cropped before sharing.

No silent screenshot cloud

Normal screenshot capture, editing, comparison and local export stay local. The optional Pro comparison link uploads only the selected before/after frame after an explicit Share Link action, stores it privately and provides an expiring, revocable link.

Security reporting: If you discover a potential security issue in Capture, please report it to support@ratdeck.com with enough detail for RATdeck to investigate safely.

Know what you keep and share.

History and local backup explains retention and original image files. Comparison sharing explains uploads, expiry and why you should inspect both original frames before creating a link.
