Privacy

Local Data Finder is designed so your archive does not need our trust.

Desktop app

Selected paths, extracted text, search queries, index settings, and your optional license token stay on your device. The app does not send corpus data, paths, queries, diagnostics, or usage telemetry to us. Opening a source uses your operating system.

Licensing

If you buy or verify an Archive key, the app contacts the Sociobot billing API with the license token. Sociobot/Dodo, the merchant of record, processes purchase details under its own policies. We do not put payment card data in this app.

Website

The site uses no advertising, tracking pixels, third-party fonts, or analytics SDK. Standard short-lived server logs may contain an IP address, requested path, user agent, and timestamp for security and reliability.

Your control

Remove a source to remove its extracted records from the index; this never deletes the original files. Uninstalling the app and deleting its application-data folder removes its local index and license cache.

Privacy questions can be filed in the public project repository without including personal archive content.
