Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Deskly ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have complete control over your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website (deskly.in) or use the Deskly desktop application.

2. The Deskly Desktop Application

Deskly is designed to be a local-first application.

2.1. Screen Time Tracking Data

All data collected by the Deskly desktop application regarding your computer usage, including but not limited to open applications, window titles, and website URLs, is stored locally on your device. We do not transmit, upload, or sync this data to our servers or any third-party servers.

2.2. Location of Data

You choose the directory where your tracking data ("Vault") is stored. You have full access to view, modify, export, or delete this data at any time. It is stored in a readable JSON format.

2.3. Analytics and Telemetry

The Deskly desktop application does not contain any telemetry, tracking pixels, or diagnostic reporting that sends data back to us. We cannot see how you use the app or what you track.

3. The Deskly Website and Accounts

While the desktop app operates offline, we provide an optional account system via our website (deskly.in) for basic user management, authenticated via WorkOS (including Google OAuth).

3.1. Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit deskly.in, we may automatically collect standard operational data, such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system, strictly for the purpose of serving the website securely and reliably.

3.2. Information You Provide to Us

If you choose to create an account or sign in to Deskly using a third-party provider like Google, we collect:

• Your email address
• Your name (first and last name, if provided)
• Your profile picture (if provided)

3.3. How We Use Account Information

We use this information solely to:

• Provide you with a secure authentication mechanism across devices.
• Display your profile information within your local application interface.
• Communicate with you regarding essential app updates, security notices, or support requests.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted third-party services to operate the Deskly website and authentication system:

• WorkOS: To handle user authentication securely. When you sign in with Google or another provider, WorkOS processes the OAuth flow. We only retain the basic profile information mentioned in section 3.2.
• Vercel: To host our website and API endpoints. Vercel automatically collects standard access logs for operational and security purposes.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or email address to any third parties.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the information transmitted to our servers (such as utilizing HTTPS and secure JSON Web Tokens). However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

The responsibility for the security of your local screen time data lies with you and the security of the device where it is stored.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you (your account profile).
• Request the deletion of your account and associated profile data.
• Delete your screen time data instantly (simply by deleting the Vault folder on your computer).

To request account deletion, please contact us at hello@deskly.in.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
