The price is identical to what's listed on your website. I'm not seeing any savings; can you clarify?
2. Is it possible to switch between tabs while ensuring that only the tab with blurred areas retains the blurring effect, without affecting the other tabs?
3. I've come across information about the Windows app. Will it also blur areas on my desktop?
A: Chrome extension features are not ported to a Windows app at the moment. There is DataMask screenshot editor that can be installed from Windows Store. If you buy DataMask extension license it will also unlock DataMask Editor Pro features both in browser and Windows App.
To clarify, DataMask Editor on Windows Store is just a website wrapped as a desktop app. It does not have new capabilities compared to running DataMask Editor in the browser.
Q: Can you please explain these points in more detail - I dont know quite what you mean:
1.
Do you mean gaussian blur using some other tool or your tool? "Can blur be reversed? Simple blur (gaussian) is not safe and should only be used for stylistic purposes. I have created Blur+ mode that applies a distortion filter and makes blur irreversible."
2. If I blur out names of senders on a gmail page, and I go to the next page, (not reload) does it still blur the same area where the names are? How is DataMask different from other blur extensions? DataMask provides a truly secure Blur+ filter and is the only extension that can persist data masking after the website is reloaded. No other extension offers this.
A: 1) Gaussian blur is unsafe in general and all tools using it are affected. There are articles describing how to use relatively simple math to make text readable again. DataMask Blur+ adds extra layers of distortion to make text irreversible.
2) DataMask can preserve masking after page reload/close/navigation on regular websites. Complex web applications like Gmail are more difficult to support, but could be investigated if there is enough demand from DataMask users.
You can get the changes to persist by changing the "Persist" toggle to on in the DataMask header. This is a Pro feature, so you will need Pro license. There are limitations of how well changes are persisted based on how complex website structure is.
You report websites where blur is not working to support@datamask.tech, but I will address it at best effort basis.
Q: It's not letting me register my appsumo account.
When I click the team now button, it does not take me to a registration page, it takes me to the chrome extension download page, and then it only downloads the free version. I cannot find a place where I can actually register and enter my app sumo code. Can you please give some guidance?
A: You can enter your license code in DataMask extension settings page. You open settings page by clicking on DataMask extension icon in browser toolbar and then clicking on a cog icon in the DataMask header bar.
Q: The Editor Pro works only in browser and windows?
Not macbook?
How does one blur screenshots after it has been taken already, if one is using a macbook - is there something in the browser extension that allows us to?
A: DataMask Editor works in all major browsers: Edge, Chrome, Safari. You can open editor in Safari on your Macbook and drag&drop files from local file system to apply blur and markup.
A: You can get the changes to persist by changing the "Persist" toggle to on in the DataMask header. This is a Pro feature, so you will need Pro license. There are limitations of how well changes are persisted based on how complex website structure is.
You can always report websites where persist does not work well to support@datamask.tech and I will see if I can improve the algorithm to support more websites.
Q: I'm currently using the products free version, to see if this is right for me.
I noticed when you access the Azure portal, it does not allow you to alter or blur your account name that appears on the top right-hand corner as the banner is horizontally aligned to it. I'm I doing something wrong?
I think the price is also misleading as people will be under the assumption they are making a saving, however the product costs the same if a user was to purchase directly from Datamask. I have no issue with the price point but as mentioned above it's a bit misleading from a "17% saving" standpoint.
This can now be ignored; using the trial licence it has allowed me to blur the area I needed after minimising the data mask panel...So far the extension is doing what I require.
Q: I bought this app but I am pretty afraid about one thing, When I tried to login to your system it said from ...
metamas extension that your site is on pishinglist and collecting user data. Please confirm.
A: DataMask gets flagged by MetaMask because of a very similar name. I have raised this issue with MetaMask but did not get any resolution so far.
DataMask extension has been in Chrome Web Store for more than 2 years without incidents or guideline violations. I can assure that DataMask is safe to use. I set highest standards for user privacy and data protection.

A: DataMask extension can only interact with the website content part. Browser UI elements cannot be blurred. You could as an alternative switch to full screen mode in the browser while recording.
A: Yes, you can get a shareable link that is valid for 5 days. After you take a screenshot it's opened in DataMask Editor. From there you have an option to download the file in JPEG/PNG/WEBP format or get a shareable link. After 5 days screenshot is automatically deleted from DataMask cloud storage.
DataMask extension does not by default upload images to the cloud, user has to take action. This helps to ensure that no sensitive data leaves users' computer without them knowing about it.
A: Currently, you have to login using Google account. Authentication helps to prove the ownership of the DataMask license and allows to carry the license across devices.
A: DataMask has many data masking features that will help with your use-case. I recommend to install DataMask extension and try to do a dry run on the websites that you plan to show in the webinar. Every new user has 7 days to try all features for free. You will find the install link on the official website: https://datamask.tech.
If you run into any problems, find bugs or have features suggestions drop me an email at support@datamask.tech
A: Blur can be reversed and is not a secure way to hide private information. DataMask provides truly secure Blur+ filter. Moreover, DataMask does much more than just blur and allows to edit text on websites, scramble text with random information or remove HTML elements on websites all together.
