Privacy policy.

1. In a Nutshell

  • Your data stays on your machine. DealDesk is built local‑first. Your thesis, targets, contacts, and documents live in a database on your own computer.

  • We don’t see your deals. Nothing is sent to our servers unless you explicitly enable integrations (like connecting to an LLM or CRM).

  • No selling your data. Ever.

  • Anonymous telemetry is off by default. You have to turn it on if you want to help us improve.

2. What We Collect (Very Little)

  • Account info - Name, email, company (only if you use our hosted dashboard)

  • Payment info - Handled by Stripe – we never see your full card details

  • Usage data - Anonymous, aggregated (e.g., “feature X used 100 times”)

  • Your deal data - Nothing – it never leaves your machine

3. What About AI Integrations?

If you choose to connect DealDesk to an LLM provider (like Anthropic or OpenAI) or to a CRM:

  • You explicitly enable that connection.

  • Only the data you send (e.g., a contract you upload) goes to that provider.

  • Those providers have their own privacy policies – please review them.

  • We do not store or train on your data.

4. Your Rights (Because We Respect Them)

  • Access – Ask what data we have about you (very little).

  • Deletion – Ask us to delete your account and any associated info.

  • Opt out of telemetry – Just keep it disabled (default) or set DEALDESK_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1.

5. Security

  • All connections to our hosted services are encrypted (TLS).

  • Your local DealDesk instance is your responsibility – keep your machine and backups secure.

6. Changes to This Policy

If we make a material change, we will email you (if you have an account) or post a notice on our website.
