Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Overview

Ushadow ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website and services.

Local Data Storage - Your Privacy First

All data is stored locally on your device. No recordings, workflows, secrets, or any other data you create within Ushadow is ever transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Anonymous Install Tracking: The only data we collect is a single anonymous tracking request when you install Ushadow. This request includes:

  • A hash of your machine identifier (anonymized, non-reversible)
  • Your operating system type and version
  • Ushadow version installed

No personal information is transmitted. We cannot identify individual users, track usage patterns, or access any of your data. This minimal tracking helps us understand adoption and prioritize platform support.

Website Information Collection

Website Analytics: We collect anonymous usage data including pages visited, time spent, and general location (country level) to improve our website.

Newsletter: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and optionally your name. This is processed by Buttondown.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

  • Service providers who assist in operating our website (hosting, analytics)

Cookies

We use minimal cookies for essential website functionality and analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. To unsubscribe from our newsletter, use the unsubscribe link in any email. For other requests, contact us at privacy@ushadow.io.
