Privacy

This policy is a draft and will be completed before launch.

Hookslide is a desktop app. It runs on your computer, and we do not run servers for it. We never receive your products, photos, posts, keys or how you use the app. This page explains what stays on your computer, the little we do hold, and what each service involved sees.

Who we are

Hookslide is made by its maker. For anything about your data, email support@hookslide.invalid.

What stays on your computer

Your products, photos, posts, videos and spending log are saved inside the app on your computer. Your Gemini API key and your license key are encrypted with your operating system's protection (your Windows account, or the Mac Keychain). Backups are files you save yourself. Uninstalling the app and deleting its folder removes all of it.

What we hold

• Your purchase, as Polar shows it to us: your name, email, billing country and address, your license key and the computers it is activated on (by label, such as "Windows computer 4F2A"). We use it to help you with your license and to meet tax and accounting duties, which is part of our contract with you. Polar keeps it for as long as the law requires.
• Emails you send to support, used to answer you (our legitimate interest in supporting the product), and deleted within 24 months unless the conversation is still open.

We do not sell or share personal data for advertising, and we do not use it to train any AI model.

Google

When you plan or render a post, the app sends what that post needs (the product details, photos and text you chose) straight to Google's Gemini API with your key. Google processes it under its own Gemini API terms, on your Google account. When you ask Hookslide to read your app's landing page, your computer downloads that page directly.

Polar

Polar sells Hookslide as the merchant of record, so it receives your payment details, email, billing address and IP address, under its own privacy policy. When you activate or the app checks your license (each time it starts, and about once a day), it sends Polar your license key, the computer's label and the app version, and Polar sees your IP address. Payments never reach us.

GitHub

Installers and updates are downloaded from GitHub, including from the download page. GitHub sees your IP address and which file you download.

This website

This website is hosted by a provider, whose servers see your IP address and the pages you open and keep them in short lived logs. The site uses no analytics or advertising cookies.

Transfers

Google, Polar and GitHub are based in the United States, so data you send them may be processed there under the safeguards they offer, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold, to correct it, to delete it, or to stop using it, by emailing support@hookslide.invalid. If you are in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.
