# Kept

Kept is a local-first Chrome extension for recording tamper-evident proof of important web sessions.

Positioning: "Keep receipts for the important things you do online."

Use Kept when you may need a record of a cancellation, refund request, support chat, account deletion flow, submitted form, warranty claim, or checkout dispute.

## What Kept Does

Kept records a browser tab after the user intentionally starts a recording. It captures active-tab video, screenshots, page URLs, page titles, navigation events, click metadata, form-submit metadata, timestamps, artifact hashes, and verification metadata.

Kept exports a proof bundle containing the recording, screenshots, structured event log, readable summary, and hash-chain metadata. The bundle is designed to be tamper-evident: if exported files are changed later, verification should flag the change.

## What Kept Does Not Claim

Kept is not court-certified evidence. It does not prove that a website was authentic, that a company is legally liable, or that a recording will be admitted in a formal proceeding.

Kept is personal proof: a local record that can help with support escalations, chargebacks, refunds, account disputes, and "here is what happened" conversations.

## Privacy Model

Kept is local-first. Recordings, screenshots, event logs, and proof bundles stay in the user's browser profile by default. Kept does not upload recording contents to Kept servers.

Kept does not record anything until the user starts a session. It is not intended to silently monitor unrelated browsing.

Kept avoids storing raw form values in event metadata where possible and marks sensitive-looking fields as unsafe to persist. Visible page content can still appear in screenshots or video if it is on screen during recording.

## Proof Bundle Contents

- `session.webm`: active-tab video recording when available.
- `screenshots/`: screenshots captured during the session.
- `events.json`: structured clicks, navigations, form submits, timestamps, and metadata.
- `summary.html`: readable offline report.
- Verification metadata: hashes and a hash chain used to detect post-export tampering.

## Common Use Cases

- Canceling a subscription.
- Requesting a refund.
- Recording a warranty claim.
- Capturing a support chat.
- Deleting an account.
- Submitting a tax, government, school, or job form.
- Recording checkout pages when totals, terms, or fees look wrong.
