Privacy First Design

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority. Learn how Findly protects your data by processing everything locally on your device.

Our Privacy Principles

Built from the ground up with privacy as the foundation

Local Processing Only

All file analysis and search operations happen entirely on your device. Zero cloud processing.

No Data Collection

We don't collect, store, or transmit your files, search queries, or personal data.

Complete Transparency

Open-source algorithms and clear documentation of what data we process locally.

Offline First

Works completely offline. No internet connection required for core functionality.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

We collect minimal personal information only when you voluntarily provide it:

  • • Email address (for waitlist notifications and product updates)
  • • First name (for personalized communications)
  • • Use case information (optional, to improve our product)

File Data

Findly processes ZERO file data on our servers. All file analysis, indexing, and search operations happen entirely on your local device. We never see, store, or transmit your files or their contents.

Usage Analytics

We collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics to improve the product:

  • • App performance metrics (response times, crash reports)
  • • Feature usage statistics (which features are used most)
  • • No search queries, file names, or personal content

How We Protect Your Data

Local Processing Architecture

Findly is designed with a "privacy by architecture" approach. Our AI models run entirely on your device, ensuring your sensitive files never leave your computer. The search index is stored locally and encrypted.

Data Encryption

All local data storage uses industry-standard encryption. Your search index and application data are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.

Network Communications

The only network communications are for product updates, license verification, and anonymous telemetry. All communications use TLS encryption and contain no personal file data.

Your Rights and Choices

Data Control

You have complete control over your data. You can delete your local search index, opt out of telemetry, and unsubscribe from all communications at any time.

Data Portability

Since all your data stays on your device, you can easily export or migrate your search index and settings to another device or backup location.

Account Deletion

You can request deletion of your email address and any associated data from our servers by contacting us at privacy@findly.ai.

Privacy Promise

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Your files and search activity remain completely private and under your control.
