Privacy Policy · 100% Local-First Architecture
Your screen stays under your control.
CaptureStack is engineered on a strict 100% Local-First Windows Architecture. Across every edition—CAP ($5.99), PRO ($9.99), Echo ($19.99), and Home ($29.99)—your screenshots, OCR text, voice dictations, and visual memory stay on your PC.
1. Local-First Screen, OCR, Voice & Visual Memory Processing
- No silent screen upload: CaptureStack does not automatically upload your screen captures, MP4 recordings, OCR text, or clipboard contents to external servers.
- Offline OCR & Neural Voice: Text extraction in PRO, neural speech-to-text / TTS in Echo, and persistent visual indexing in Home run locally on your Windows 10/11 hardware.
- Explicit user action only: Visual sessions or context bundles are only shared with an AI assistant (such as Claude, Cursor, Codex, or ChatGPT) when you explicitly copy, drag, or trigger a local MCP tool call.
2. Checkout, Licensing & Account Records
When you purchase a CaptureStack license on capture-stack.com, we process only the minimum transactional data required to issue, deliver, and recover your license:
- Purchase email address: Used to deliver your receipt, bind your cryptographic license key, and verify self-service license recovery on My Account.
- Order & payment metadata: Edition SKU (
CAPTURESTACK_BASE,CAPTURESTACK_PRO,CAPTURESTACK_ECHO, orCAPTURESTACK_HOME), verified payment status, transaction reference, and timestamp. - Payment processor isolation: Card numbers and wallet credentials are processed directly by PayPal and Google Pay. CaptureStack never sees or stores your raw credit card number.
3. Retention & Your Data-Subject Rights
Purchase, receipt, and license records are retained only as long as necessary to provide ongoing license recovery, prevent payment fraud, and comply with tax and accounting laws.
Under GDPR, CCPA, and applicable privacy laws, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw optional marketing consent at any time without affecting the validity of your software license.
