Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

Draft, pending legal review. This policy has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and may change before DextraDesk launches publicly. Text in highlighted boxes is still to be filled in.

The short version

Who we are

DextraDesk is run by [OWNER'S LEGAL NAME OR COMPANY], [POSTAL ADDRESS] ("we", "us"). We're responsible for the personal data described here. Contact: support@dextradesk.com.

What we collect and why

WhatDetailsWhy
Account Your email address; your password, stored only as an argon2id hash (we can't read it); whether your email is verified; when you signed up. To give you an account, sign you in, and send account emails (verification, password reset).
Two-factor sign-in If you turn it on: the secret your authenticator app shares with us, and hashed recovery codes. To check your codes when you sign in.
Sign-ins A sign-in cookie on app.dextradesk.com. We store only a hash of it, with when it was created and when it expires (30 days, renewed while you use the app). To keep you signed in, and so signing out or changing your password ends sign-ins.
Your PCs Each PC's name (its Windows computer name unless you rename it), operating system, DextraDesk app version, when it was added, and when it was last online. To list your PCs, connect you to them, and know when an update has reached them.
Plan and billing Your plan, your Stripe customer and subscription IDs, the subscription's status, monthly or yearly, and renewal date. Stripe handles your card details and billing address; we never see your card number. To give you the plan you paid for, and to keep records that tax law requires.
Activity and safety When your account was last active; whether it has been disabled, and why. To run and support the Service and to stop misuse.
Technical logs Our servers log errors, when PCs come online and go offline (with their IDs), and relay connections (with IP addresses and session IDs). IP addresses are also used, in memory only, to limit repeated sign-in and sign-up attempts. Our web servers don't keep a log of every page visited. To keep the Service secure and working, and to fix problems.
Messages to us Anything you send to support@dextradesk.com, including any screenshots or log files you attach. To answer you.

What we don't collect

On your PC

The DextraDesk app keeps its pairing key on your PC, encrypted by Windows so only your Windows user can use it, and writes log files to %LOCALAPPDATA%\DextraDesk\logs. These logs stay on your PC; we only see them if you send them to us. To check for updates, the app contacts app.dextradesk.com every few hours.

To connect directly, your browser and your PC exchange network addresses (IP addresses), as all WebRTC connections do. Each can see the other's address.

Legal bases (EU and UK)

If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to you, we use your data: to perform our contract with you (account, PCs, connections, billing); for our legitimate interests in keeping the Service secure, preventing misuse and fixing problems (logs, rate limits, disabling accounts); and to meet legal obligations (tax and accounting records).

Who we share it with

We use these service providers, who handle data for us under contract and only to provide their service:

We don't sell or rent your personal data, and we don't share it for advertising. We may disclose data if the law requires it, to protect people from harm or to investigate misuse of the Service, or as part of a sale or merger of the business (you'd be told first).

Where your data is

Our servers are in the United States and Canada. If you live elsewhere, your data is transferred there. [Transfer safeguards for EU/UK users, e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses, to be confirmed.]

How long we keep it

How we protect it

All connections use HTTPS or encrypted WebRTC. Passwords are hashed with argon2id; sign-in cookies, email links and recovery codes are stored only as hashes. Two-factor sign-in is available. Only the owner can sign in to our servers, using keys, and the database accepts connections only from our app server. Repeated sign-in attempts are rate-limited. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data, we'll tell you as the law requires.

Your choices and rights

Children

DextraDesk isn't for children. You must be at least [18] to create an account. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy in an important way, we'll email account holders before the change takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
