Privacy

Privacy, in plain language.

Last updated November 10, 2026. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do not do.

Who we are

Desktopchik is a small private backup service, currently in private beta. This page describes our own practice. It is a plain-language summary, not a legal document, and it does not create rights beyond those in our terms.

What we collect

  • Account details — the name and email address you give us when you request a demo or accept an invite.
  • Billing details — handled by our payment provider once a plan is active. We do not store card numbers ourselves.
  • Device information — the operating system, agent version, and the folders you selected, so the app can back them up.
  • Basic logs — sign-in events, backup start and finish times, and error messages. These help us keep the service working.

What we do not collect

We do not read your files. Backups are encrypted on your computer before they are uploaded, and the keys stay with you, so the stored data is not readable by us. We do not run analytics or advertising scripts on this website, and we do not build profiles of visitors.

Why we collect it

Account details are used to reply to your request and to operate your account. Device information and logs are used to run backups, to restore your files when you ask, and to fix problems. We do not sell data and we do not use it to train anything.

How long we keep it

Account details are kept while your account is open. Snapshots are kept for the version history window of your plan, then deleted. If you close your account, we delete your snapshots and account details within 30 days, except for invoices we are required to keep.

Where your data lives

Encrypted snapshots are stored in the region you choose when you set up the agent. Account and billing records are kept in the same region. Our payment provider may process billing data in another country.

Your choices

You can ask us for a copy of your account details, ask us to correct them, or ask us to delete your account. You can also stop using the service at any time and remove the agent from your computer.

Contact

Write to hello@desktopchik.pro for any privacy question. We answer within a few business days during the beta.

Because Desktopchik is in private beta, this policy may change as the service does. When it does, we update the date at the top of this page.
