Hydropark
Privacy Policy
Hydropark is a local-first desktop app. The short version: your conversations and everything you make with the agent stay on your computer, we hold as little about you in the cloud as an account and a receipt require, and we never sell your data or run ads. The rest of this page is the detail.
1What stays on your device
Your conversations, agents and saved loadouts, templates, panel state, and license files are stored only on your computer (a local SQLite database and files). No conversation data leaves the device — ever, in v1. The language model runs entirely offline on your own processor, so what you type to the agent is never sent to us or anyone else.
2What we store in the cloud (the minimum)
Only what an account and a purchase actually require:
- Account — your email address, if you create an account.
- Purchases & entitlements — which skills you own, so you can re-download and restore them.
- Device list — the machines you have activated (up to five), so you can manage and de-authorize them.
That is the whole list. It does not include your conversations, your prompts, the contents of any panel, or anything the agent generated.
3App telemetry is opt-in and anonymized
Product analytics inside the app are off unless you turn them on, with a clear toggle in Settings. When enabled, they are anonymized and cover product usage only — for example, whether a first skill was enabled, whether two or more skills were composed, share of offline use, and crash-free sessions. They never include conversation content or anything you typed. Turning the toggle off stops collection.
4This website's analytics
This site uses privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Plausible). It sets no cookies, builds no cross-site profile, and stores no personal data. We record only aggregate interface events for the download funnel — page view, adding or removing a plate, a refused combination, changing the bench, copying a loadout, and clicking download or checkout — with no PII and no conversation content. These figures tell us whether the page explains the product, not who you are.
5Payments
Purchases are handled by our payment provider acting as the seller/merchant of record. Card details never touch Hydropark's servers — the provider handles card security and PCI compliance. We receive only the resulting purchase and entitlement record (which skill, that it was paid, the order id), not your card number. See the Terms for the seller-of-record and tax details.
6Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
You can access, export, or delete the account data we hold. Export returns your account, purchases, and device list as JSON; deletion removes that cloud record. Because ownership is enforced by signatures already on your machine, deleting your account does not disable skills you have already installed — they keep working offline (see business continuity). Make a request from the account portal (PLACEHOLDER) or by emailing [email protected]; we respond within the period the applicable law requires.
7Retention
We keep account, purchase, and device records for as long as your account exists and as long as tax and accounting law requires us to keep proof of a sale, then delete or anonymize them. On-device data lives only on your device and is yours to delete at any time by removing it or uninstalling the app.
8Children
Hydropark is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their data.
9Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for material changes, surface a notice in the app or on this page. The local-first, no-conversation-egress commitment is a core product promise, not a setting we quietly revise.
