Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 17, 2026
The short version: Your code never touches our servers. We track your setup progress to help you get started faster, but we never see what you're building. You can opt out of usage tracking anytime.
Your Code Stays Private
This is the most important thing we want you to know:
- Code never leaves your machine - Your source code only goes to your AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). We never see it.
- No prompt surveillance - We don't capture, store, or analyze what you ask your AI agents to do.
- No file scanning - We don't know what projects you're working on, what files you edit, or what you build.
- Your API keys are yours - We never see or store your AI provider credentials. You connect directly to them.
What We Do Track
To help you get set up and to improve Prompter Hawk, we track basic usage milestones:
We track:
- Account creation and verification
- App installation and login events
- Whether you've configured an AI backend
- Whether you've created your first mission
- Session activity (active, idle)
We never track:
- Your code or file contents
- Your prompts or AI conversations
- Mission names or descriptions
- Project paths or file names
- Your API key values
Why We Track Setup Progress
We use this information to:
- Help you succeed - If you get stuck during setup, we can send helpful tips
- Improve the product - Understanding where users drop off helps us fix confusing steps
- Remember your preferences - So you don't have to reconfigure things
Opting Out of Usage Tracking
You can disable usage tracking in the desktop app settings at any time. The app will continue to work normally - you just won't get setup assistance emails, and we won't know if something is blocking your progress.
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address - For authentication and important product updates
- Technical metadata - IP address and browser/device info for security and session management
Email Communications
We send different types of emails:
- Transactional emails - Login links, account verification, payment receipts. These are essential and can't be disabled.
- Setup assistance - Helpful tips if you haven't completed setup steps. You can unsubscribe from these.
- Product updates - Major feature announcements (infrequent). You can unsubscribe from these.
Every non-essential email includes an unsubscribe link. We will never sell your email or send you unrelated marketing.
Website Analytics
Our website uses privacy-friendly analytics:
- What we track: Page views, button clicks, scroll depth, time on page, referral sources
- What we don't track: Your name, email, or any personally identifiable information
- No cross-site tracking: We don't follow you around the internet
Data Storage and Security
Your account data is stored in a Vercel Postgres database. Session data is stored locally on your machine. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest.
Data Retention
- Account data - Kept while your account is active
- Usage events - Retained for 90 days, then automatically deleted
- Website analytics - Retained for 90 days, then automatically deleted
If you delete your account, your personal data will be removed within 30 days. Anonymized analytics may be retained for longer.
Your Rights
You can:
- Export your data - Request a copy of what we have about you
- Delete your account - Remove all your data from our systems
- Opt out - Disable usage tracking in the desktop app

Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as Prompter Hawk evolves. If we make significant changes that affect how we handle your data, we'll notify you via email before they take effect.
TL;DR: Your code never touches our servers. We track setup progress to help you succeed, but we never see what you're building. You can opt out anytime. We don't sell your data or spam you.
