Introduction
At Sceptrum, privacy isn't just a compliance requirement—it's core to our mission. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, and protect your information.
Last Updated: December 2025
What We Collect
On-Device Activity
Sceptrum monitors these activities locally on your computer:
- Process Activity — Application names and their resource requests
- Resource Access — Requests to microphone, camera, clipboard, and file system
- Network Activity — Outbound connections and AI API calls detected by pattern analysis
- System Performance — CPU, memory, and disk usage metrics
Important: This data is processed and encrypted locally. We don't transmit your activity logs to our servers unless you explicitly opt in.
Account Information
If you create a Sceptrum account or join our beta:
- Email address
- Full name (optional)
Diagnostic Data (Optional)
With your permission, we collect anonymized crash reports and performance metrics to improve the product. These reports are never linked to your personal identity.

How We Use Your Data
We use collected information for:
- Product Development — Improving features, performance, and user experience

How We Protect Your Data
On-Device Encryption
All sensitive data on your device is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Your monitoring logs, preferences, and rules remain encrypted at rest.
Secure Transmission
When data must leave your device, it's encrypted using TLS 1.3. No unencrypted data ever leaves your computer.
Server Security
Our infrastructure uses industry best practices:
- SOC 2 Type II certified data centers
- Two-factor authentication for all admin access
- Regular security audits and penetration testing
- Automated encrypted backups with geographic redundancy
- Zero-trust network architecture
Security Standards
| Standard | How We Use It |
|---|---|
| AES-256 | Encrypts data stored on your device |
| TLS 1.3 | Encrypts data in transit to our servers |
| OWASP Top 10 | Guides our application security practices |
| GDPR/CCPA | Ensures compliance with privacy regulations |
