Privacy Policy

DeskMagic is built so your screen and your questions stay between you and the AI you choose. Here's exactly what happens to your data.

1. Who we are

DeskMagic ("DeskMagic", "we", "us") makes the DeskMagic desktop app for Windows and the website at deskmagic.app. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@deskmagic.app.

2. Information the app handles

• Screen captures. The app only captures your screen when you summon it (by shaking your mouse, using your shortcut or clicking "Ask now"). Only the area you select is sent, and only when you send a question.
• Questions and answers. The text you type, any copied text you choose to include, and the AI's replies.
• Your API key. The key you paste from your AI provider. It's encrypted on your device and used only to talk to that provider.
• Settings and history. Your name (if you enter one), chosen AI and model, shortcut, theme, and a history of past questions with small thumbnails.

3. Where that information goes

On your PC. Settings, history and your encrypted key are saved in your Windows user folder (%APPDATA%\DeskMagic). You can clear history anytime in Settings, and uninstalling the app removes the app itself. You can delete that folder to remove everything.

To your AI provider. When you ask a question, your selection, question and conversation are sent directly to the provider you chose. That provider processes it under its own terms and privacy policy:

• Anthropic (Claude): anthropic.com/legal/privacy
• OpenAI (ChatGPT): openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
• Google (Gemini): policies.google.com/privacy

We never receive this data. Please don't select or send information you aren't allowed to share with your AI provider, such as other people's private data or confidential work material.

4. The website

Our website has no analytics or advertising cookies. Like any website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) for security and reliability. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means Google receives your IP address when the page loads.

5. Purchases

If you buy DeskMagic Pro, your payment is handled by our payment provider. They collect your name, email, billing details and payment information to process the order, and send us what we need to issue and support your license (such as your email, license key and order details). We never see or store your full card number.

6. Support emails

If you email us, we keep the conversation so we can help you. We use your email only to reply and, if you're a customer, to send important information about your license or the app.

7. We don't sell your data

We don't sell, rent or share personal information for advertising. We only share it as described above, or if required by law.

8. Security

Your API key is encrypted on your device, and requests to AI providers use encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, so keep your PC and your API keys safe, and revoke a key with your provider if you think it's been exposed.

9. Your choices and rights

You control almost everything locally: clear history in Settings, remove your key, or delete the app's data folder. For data we hold (purchase and support records), you can ask us to access, correct or delete it by emailing hello@deskmagic.app. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have additional rights, and we'll honor them.

10. Children

DeskMagic isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information.

11. Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For meaningful changes, we'll let customers know by email or in the app.
