Privacy Policy

We believe privacy is a fundamental right. Learn how Sceptrum protects your data with on-device processing and encryption.

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.

Our Core Principle: Sceptrum operates on-device by default. Your activity monitoring happens locally on your Windows machine. We collect minimal data, encrypt everything at rest, and never sell 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.

Website Usage

Our website uses minimal tracking. We use session-only cookies for functionality and do not use third-party advertising cookies.

How We Use Your Data

We use collected information for:

  • Product Development — Improving features, performance, and user experience
  • Security — Detecting and preventing threats on your device
  • Support — Helping you troubleshoot and resolve issues
  • Communication — Sending product updates, security alerts, and release notes
  • Legal Compliance — Meeting regulatory requirements
What We Don't Do: We never sell your data, use it for behavioral advertising, share it with data brokers, or profile you for third parties.

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

If we discover data from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately.
