"For the record" is a way of saying that something is the background truth of a situation.
"For the record" actually originally refers to when a conversation was being written down or recorded.
The record is a saved conversation (like in a courtroom), and so someone could say, "For the record..." to make sure that what they are going to say is recorded and saved permanently.
"For the record, I told him he couldn't use my car, but he did anyway."

For example, is a phrase used “to introduce something chosen as a typical case” or “introduce something that proves something is true.” My dog, Oso, is learning many new tricks. For example, he can sit, stay, and lie down. For example can be used at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.
Many movies were adapted from books. For example, The Wizard of Oz was a popular novel before it hit the big screen.

@DJ_Breez For the record, I love your example since I happen to have a dog named Oso, but the question is asking about "for the record", rather than "for example".

“For the record” is often used to clarify or justify your position openly.
Sometimes it’s because you want your listener to take note of something. Sometimes it’s to ensure they won’t think negatively about you. Sometimes it’s to avoid blame/responsibility.
In brief, sentences prefaced with this phrase can provide context for attitudes or beliefs.
“For the record, our department was on schedule last week. I’m not sure what caused the delay.” (Denying responsibility for something)
“I mean, for the record, I don’t like her either. But that doesn’t mean I won’t be civil with her.” (Stating an opinion in spite of another)
“For the record, I never intended to spend all day playing video games. It just happened.” (Justifying a behaviour)
