KhuHuPrivacy policy
Applies to: the KhuHu browser extension, version 0.4 and later. Effective: 14 November 2026.
Summary
- KhuHu turns the live captions that Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Zoom shows you into a transcript.
- Everything it creates stays on your computer. This version has no servers, no account, no analytics and no advertising, and sends nothing to us or to anyone else.
- Your transcripts contain what other people in your meetings say. You are responsible for telling them and for getting any consent that the law or your organisation requires.
Who we are
KhuHu is published by [developer or company name], Australia. Contact: team@getkhuhu.com.
What the extension collects, and why
Only after you agree on the welcome screen, and only while you are in a Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Zoom meeting:
| Information | Why |
|---|---|
| Caption text and the names of the people speaking, as shown in the meeting's live captions | To make your transcript |
| Still pictures of a screen that someone shares in the meeting (screenshots), taken automatically when the shared screen changes: only the shared screen, never people's video. You can turn these off. When you click "Capture screen" (or press its shortcut) and no shared screen can be read, the picture is of the meeting window as you see it, which can include people's video | To show in your transcript what was presented |
| Meeting title, start and end time | To label and date your transcript |
| Notes and bookmarks you add | To keep them with the transcript |
| Your settings and your agreement on the welcome screen | To work the way you chose |
| A troubleshooting record of events and errors (for example "meeting ended", or a script error). It contains no caption text, names or meeting titles | To help diagnose problems |
The extension reads captions only on these meeting websites: teams.microsoft.com, teams.cloud.microsoft, teams.live.com, meet.google.com and zoom.us. It doesn't read other websites, and doesn't record audio or video. Screenshots are single still pictures of the shared screen as it is shown on the meeting page. A picture of the meeting window is taken only when you ask for one with "Capture screen", never by itself. The browser allows it on a tab where you have clicked the extension's toolbar icon or pressed its shortcut. So that you don't have to do that in every meeting, the extension asks once whether it may take this picture without the extra click. If you allow it, your browser asks you to confirm, and its message mentions all websites, because that is the only access the browser offers for a picture of a tab. The extension uses it only to take a picture of the meeting tab when you press "Capture screen". It does not read, change or take pictures of any other website. You can say no, and you can change your choice in Settings. To notice the moment a call ends, it watches whether the browser's call connection is open. It never accesses the call's audio. To turn captions on and to name speakers it presses the meeting app's own buttons (captions; in Zoom also Save on the caption-language question, and the Participants list, which it opens briefly). Captions it turned on are kept off your screen unless you choose to show them.
Where it is kept
- In your browser: transcripts and screenshots are kept in the extension's own storage on your computer, where websites can't read them. You choose how long: until you delete them (the default), or deleted automatically after 7, 30 or 90 days or 1 year. You can set this when you first agree, or later in Settings. You can also have screenshots removed from the browser as soon as their files are saved to Downloads.
- As files: if you choose, each meeting's transcript and screenshots are saved to their own folder in Downloads\KhuHu - Meeting transcripts and screenshots on your computer (and, if you turn it on, the troubleshooting record).
- Nowhere else. This version makes no network requests of its own. We never receive your transcripts.
Other people in your meetings
Transcripts include what other participants say and their names, and screenshots include what they share on screen. Live captions are visible only to you, and other participants aren't told that KhuHu is running. Recording and transcription laws differ between countries and states, and some require the consent of everyone in the conversation. Before using KhuHu, tell the people in your meetings and get any consent that applies. If a meeting's organiser has restricted copying captions, KhuHu warns you and marks that transcript.
How long it is kept, and deleting it
- Meetings stay in the extension until you delete them, or until the automatic deletion period you choose in Settings.
- You can delete one meeting, or all meetings, at any time.
- Removing the extension deletes everything it stored in your browser.
- Files saved to your Downloads folder are yours: they stay until you delete them.
- If you connect your notes folder (optional), the extension can read back the screenshots it saved there, only to place them in a PDF you export. It reads that one folder only, cannot change or delete anything in it, and nothing read leaves your computer. You can disconnect it in Settings.
- You can withdraw your agreement at any time, from Settings. Capture stops straight away.
Sharing
We don't sell, rent or share any information, and we don't use it for advertising, profiling or training AI models. Because we never receive your data, we can't disclose it to anyone.
Permissions the extension asks for
| Permission | Used for |
|---|---|

| Storage (including unlimited storage) | Keeping your transcripts and settings on your computer. Long meetings can exceed the default storage limit |
| Side panel | Showing the transcript and your saved meetings beside the page |
| Downloads | Saving transcripts as files in Downloads\KhuHu - Meeting transcripts and screenshots |
| Alarms | Noticing when a meeting has ended, and automatic deletion |
| Active tab | A picture of the meeting tab when you press "Capture screen" and no shared screen can be read, on a tab where you clicked the toolbar icon or pressed the shortcut |
| Access to all websites (optional, only if you allow it when asked) | The same picture of the meeting tab without clicking the toolbar icon first. Not used for anything else, and not asked for when you install |
| Scripting | Reconnecting to a meeting page that's already open after the extension updates, so capture doesn't stop mid-meeting |

getkhuhu.com is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It uses no cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. Cloudflare, as the host, processes standard request information (such as IP addresses) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks; see Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Security
Transcripts are kept in storage that websites can't read. Text from meetings is treated as untrusted and is never run as code. The extension contains no code loaded from the internet.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the Australian Privacy Principles or the EU General Data Protection Regulation), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information. Because everything KhuHu creates is held on your own computer, you can see, export and delete all of it yourself in the extension. Other participants who want a transcript corrected or deleted should ask the person who made it. For questions, contact team@getkhuhu.com.
Children
KhuHu is meant for work meetings and isn't directed at children under 16.
Changes
If a future version handles information differently, for example an optional account that syncs transcripts, this policy will be updated first. The extension will ask for your agreement again before any new kind of collection starts.
