PRIVACY POLICY Last Updated: January 2026 OVERVIEW This Privacy Policy describes how the "Desktop Hub" application ("we," "us," or "our") handles your information. Our commitment to your privacy is absolute: We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any of your personal data. DATA COLLECTION We do not collect any personal information, usage data, or analytics. • No Account Required: You do not need to create an account to use this application. • No Tracking: We do not track how you use the application. • No Analytics: We do not use third-party analytics software (such as Google Analytics or Firebase) to monitor user behavior. LOCAL DATA STORAGE This application is designed to function entirely offline. All data generated or used by the application is stored locally on your device. • User Settings: Your layout configurations, themes, and preferences are stored in local configuration files on your hard drive. • Productivity Tools: Data entered into the built-in Contacts, Calendar, and Notes features is saved exclusively to your local device storage. • Custom Apps: Paths to your custom applications and files are stored locally to facilitate the launcher functionality. We do not have access to this data, and it is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. INTERNET USAGE & EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS The internal components of this application (including the launcher, dock, and built-in productivity tools) are designed to work entirely offline. However, interaction with outside software is subject to independent policies: • Updates: The application may connect to the Microsoft Store solely for the purpose of checking for and downloading application updates, governed by the Microsoft Store's own policies. • External Links: If you use the application to launch a web browser or click a link to an external website, that interaction is subject to the privacy policy of the browser and the website you visit. • Third-Party Apps: Any external applications launched via this hub operate independently. Their data usage, internet connectivity, and privacy practices are governed by their own respective privacy policies, not ours. PERMISSIONS The application requests specific permissions solely to perform its core functions as a desktop replacement and launcher: • File System Access: Required to scan for installed applications (for the "App Import" feature) and to launch the files/executables you select. • Window Management: Required for the "Opened Apps Dock" to detect and display currently running windows. These permissions are never used to collect data about you. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY Our application is safe for all ages. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. Since the application operates offline, no data from children is ever transmitted to us or third parties. DATA SECURITY Because your data is stored locally on your device, it is protected by your device's own security measures (such as your Windows login password, bitlocker, and disk encryption). We recommend keeping your Windows operating system updated to ensure your local data remains secure. We are not responsible for unauthorized access to your device resulting from physical theft or malware installed by other means. YOUR RIGHTS (GDPR & CCPA) Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have rights regarding your personal data. • Non-Applicability of Data Requests: Since we do not collect, process, or store your personal data on our servers, we do not possess any data to provide, correct, or delete upon request. • Full Control: You maintain full ownership and control of your data on your local device. You may view, edit, or delete your data at any time by using the application's built-in features or by clearing the application data in Windows settings. DATA RETENTION We do not retain your data; it exists only on your device. • App Data: If you uninstall the application, the Windows operating system will typically remove local application data associated with the installation. • Exported Files: Any configuration files you have explicitly exported via the "Export Settings" feature are standard files stored on your drive. These remain until you manually delete them. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Since we do not collect your contact information, we advise you to review this policy periodically within the application listing on the Microsoft Store. CONTACT If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us via the support information provided on our Microsoft Store listing page.
