1. Introduction
Welcome to Cloakly. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website or use our desktop application and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
2. Data We Collect
We collect and process the following types of data:
- Identity Data: Includes email address when you create an account, subscribe, or join our newsletter.
- Technical Data: Includes internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
- Usage Data: Information about how you use our website and application.
Important: Cloakly is designed to protect your screen privacy. We do not record, transmit, or store the contents of your screen, windows, or applications that you choose to hide or manage using Cloakly. All window management processing happens locally on your device.
3. Antivirus Warnings and False Positives
To provide seamless window management and privacy features, Cloakly utilizes standard Windows APIs and techniques such as DLL injection. This allows the application to interact with other windows to apply privacy settings (like preventing screen capture) directly.
Heads Up: Because some malicious software affects system behavior, your antivirus (like Windows Defender) might mistakenly flag privacy utilities as a threat. This is known as a false positive.
We want to be fully transparent with you:
- Cloakly is safe: We only use this technology to hide windows you explicitly choose.
- Zero spying: We do not log keystrokes, record your screen, or read your files.
- Local only: All window management happens on your device. No screen data leaves your machine.
If your antivirus blocks Cloakly, you may need to add it to your allow list or exclusions for full functionality.
4. How We Use Your Data
We use personal data where legally permitted, including to:
- Provide and maintain our service.
- Notify you about service changes.
- Enable interactive features when you choose to use them.
- Provide customer support.
- Analyze and improve the product.
5. Data Security
We use appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss of personal data, and we restrict data access to people who have a legitimate business need.
6. Third-Party Links
Our service may include links to third-party websites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy policies, or practices.
