Privacy

Short, because there is little to say: the app collects nothing, and this site collects as little as a website can.

vxKite, the app

• It never connects to the internet. There is no account, no key and no update service, and nothing about your use of it is reported anywhere. The one exception is Windows' installer, which may download Microsoft's WebView2 runtime on a PC that lacks it.
• The camera and screen sharing show what you choose in vxKite's own windows; nothing is recorded or sent.
• Your files stay yours. Opening a file writes nothing beside it, and what vxKite makes in a job goes into one vxKite folder there, with the exhibit record beside it.
• It keeps a small diagnostic log on your own computer. The log names the files you opened and their paths, and the lines the status bar showed — never what is in a file, and never the words you type to search. It is in ~/Library/Logs/com.vxkite.desktop/ on a Mac and %LOCALAPPDATA%\com.vxkite.desktop\logs\ on Windows; delete that folder to delete it. It leaves your computer only if you send it.
• To show some kinds — an Office file as a PDF, say — vxKite keeps a converted copy in its own cache on your computer, up to 30 days after it was last used (even after the original is gone) and never more than 2 GB in all. Clear Cache empties it at once: do that when a case's materials go back.
• The exhibit record keeps no computer name and no checksum.

The licence agreement says the same in its sections 2 and 5, on Terms.

This website

• No cookies, no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no scripts from anyone else. The fonts come from vxkite.com itself.
• Like any web host, the server keeps ordinary access logs — the address a request came from, the time, and the page asked for. They are not used to follow anyone. On the early-access page, each download, and each opening of the Feature Pilot, is noted with the tester's ID and the time (never the code), so each code keeps to its share; nothing else is kept, and no cookie is set.
