GDPR Considerations

Screen recordings frequently capture sensitive information that appears on screen during recording: customer data in CRM dashboards, internal communications, financial figures, code containing secrets, and personal information visible in browser tabs or notifications. A single screen recording can inadvertently contain dozens of pieces of personal data. When these recordings are hosted on US-based platforms, all of this incidentally captured data is processed under US jurisdiction. European screen recording tools store your video content on EU infrastructure, ensuring that any personal data captured in recordings remains under GDPR protection. This is particularly important for teams that use screen recordings for internal training, bug reporting, or customer support, where sensitive data frequently appears on screen during everyday workflows.

Screen Recording & Video — Frequently Asked Questions

Why is screen recording a GDPR concern if I am just recording my own screen?
Screen recordings routinely capture personal data that happens to be visible during recording. This includes customer names and emails in your CRM, chat notifications with colleague names, browser tabs showing personal accounts, code with API keys or credentials, and dashboards displaying business-sensitive information. Under GDPR, any personal data captured in a recording must be processed lawfully and stored securely. When you upload screen recordings to a US-based platform, all of this incidentally captured data leaves EU jurisdiction. An EU-hosted recording platform keeps this sensitive content under European data protection law.
Can I use Loom for internal team communication in an EU company?
Loom is a US company (acquired by Atlassian) that processes and hosts video content on US infrastructure. Every screen recording you create passes through and is stored on Loom's servers, including any personal data visible on screen. For internal team communications containing sensitive information, this means your internal discussions, product demos with real customer data, and engineering walkthroughs with code are all stored under US jurisdiction. European screen recording alternatives host all video content within the EU, providing cleaner GDPR compliance for internal communication workflows.
How should I handle screen recordings that accidentally capture personal data?
If a screen recording captures personal data unintentionally, you should treat it as any other personal data processing under GDPR. Best practices include using a recording tool with editing capabilities to blur or crop sensitive areas before sharing, setting retention policies to automatically delete old recordings, limiting sharing to only those who need access, and documenting screen recording in your data processing records. European recording platforms typically offer built-in editing tools and configurable retention policies that make managing incidental personal data capture more straightforward.
