Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how RoxyKovu LLC collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you use our website, mobile applications, desktop software, and related services. Effective date: March 8, 2026. Last updated: July 22, 2026.

RoxyKovu logo

Privacy by app

This one policy covers every RoxyKovu app. The general rules are in sections 1 through 17. Jump straight to your app for exactly what it stores, what can leave your device, and why.

1. Who we are

RoxyKovu LLC ("RoxyKovu," "we," "us," or "our") is the data controller responsible for your personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to all RoxyKovu products and services, including our website (roxykovu.com), mobile apps distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play, and desktop software distributed through the Microsoft Store and the Mac App Store. By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. Please also review our Terms of Service.

2. Our privacy-first approach

3. Information we collect

We collect different categories of information depending on how you interact with our services.

3.1 Information you provide directly

3.2 Information collected automatically (website)

3.3 Information collected by our apps

3.4 Information we do NOT collect

4. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

5. Health and fitness data

FFM accesses health and fitness data only with your explicit permission, and this data stays on your device, except for the optional, encrypted iCloud Backup described in Section 5.5.

5.1 iOS (Apple HealthKit)

5.2 Android (Health Connect)

5.3 Location data

5.4 PatchShepherd

5.5 iCloud Backup (FFM iOS)

5.6 EDEN clinical health data and HIPAA

6. Advertising

Two of our games show ads: 20 Questions and Numera Saga, both powered by Google AdMob. In Numera Saga the only ad is a rewarded tile you choose to tap. No other RoxyKovu app displays advertising of any kind.

7. Cookies and tracking technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. You can manage your preferences through our cookie consent banner or the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

7.1 Essential (always active)

7.2 Analytics (requires consent)

7.3 Marketing (requires consent)

7.4 Managing cookies

7.5 Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no uniform industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website respects your cookie consent choices as described above. When you reject analytics and marketing cookies through our consent banner, no tracking occurs regardless of your DNT setting.

We recognize and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a valid opt-out request for the sale or sharing of personal information and for targeted advertising, as required by the CCPA/CPRA and other applicable state privacy laws. If you have GPC enabled, non-essential cookies and tracking will remain disabled even if you have not interacted with our consent banner.

8. Who we share data with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with the following categories of service providers, and only as necessary to operate our services.

We may also disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of our users or the public.

9. Data retention

When data reaches the end of its retention period, it is securely deleted or anonymized. If deletion is not immediately possible (for example, because data is stored in backup archives), we will securely store and isolate the data until deletion is possible.

10. Data security

Data breach notification

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users and relevant supervisory authorities as required by applicable law (including within 72 hours under GDPR where applicable).

11. Your rights and choices

Regardless of where you live, you have the following choices regarding your data.

12. International privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local data protection laws.

12.1 European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland (GDPR / UK GDPR)

12.2 California, USA (CCPA / CPRA)

12.3 Other US states

12.4 Brazil (LGPD), Canada (PIPEDA), and other jurisdictions

13. Children's privacy

14. Automated systems, on-device AI, and peer-to-peer connectivity

14.1 AI chat assistant on the website

14.2 On-device Apple Intelligence (2Q Battle Mosey)

14.3 Other on-device app processing

14.4 Peer-to-peer multi-device features (2Q)

14.5 Microphone use in 2Q

14.6 2Q on Apple TV (tvOS)

The Apple TV (tvOS) version of 2Q is a strict subset of the iPhone/iPad experience and collects no personal data, no identifiers, and serves no ads:

14.7 EDEN microphone, voice, and the "Hey Eden" assistant

15. Age verification and minors

16. Third-party links and services

Our services may contain links to third-party websites, services, or content that are not owned or controlled by RoxyKovu. This includes app store listings, social media pages, and external resources referenced in our apps or website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party services. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website or service you visit. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement by RoxyKovu.

17. Changes to this policy

18. Privacy details by app

Sections 1 through 17 apply to everything we make. This section says exactly what each individual app does, so you never have to guess which general rule covers your app. Where an app is stricter than the general policy, the app wins.

18.1 Fitness for the Fighting Man (FFM)

FFM keeps your training, nutrition, body, and health data on your device. There is no FFM account and no sign-in. Nothing leaves your device unless you switch on a specific optional feature, and each of those features is off until you turn it on.

Platforms
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Android
Account
None. No login, email, or user ID exists.
Ads
None.
AI
Free coaching runs entirely on your device. Premium cloud AI is off by default.

Stays on your device

  • Workout history, programs, custom workouts, and progress.
  • Your profile: optional name, birthdate, sex, height, weight, body-fat percentage, and affiliation, branch, or discipline.
  • Nutrition logs, meal plans, hydration, and targets.
  • Menstrual-cycle tracking, including cycle and period length, period start dates, and flow and ovulation-test results imported from Apple Health.
  • Every raw Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android) record the app reads. Raw health records are never copied off your device.
  • Location, which is used only to compute distance during a live run. No route, coordinate, or map trace is ever transmitted.
  • Microphone audio and speech. Wake-word detection and dictation run on-device wherever your device and language support it. On devices or languages where Apple does not offer on-device recognition, iOS falls back to Apple's server-side speech service and the audio is handled by Apple under Apple's terms.
  • Prompts and responses from the free AI coach. On Apple platforms that is Apple Foundation Models plus a bundled local model; on Android it is Gemini Nano through ML Kit. No network is required.
  • Debug and crash logs, kept as a local rolling file.
  • Apple Watch data. The Watch app makes no network calls of its own.

What can leave your device

  • Premium cloud AI (off by default, requires an active subscription). When you turn it on, requests go to RoxyKovu's own AWS service in the US East region, which calls Amazon Bedrock to generate the response. What is sent: an anonymous per-install device hash (a random value created on first launch, not a device identifier), your workout request details, your AI preferences, a role-scoped profile string that deliberately excludes the name you typed, and your App Store receipt or Google Play purchase token so we can confirm the subscription.
  • Health-derived numbers, with Premium cloud AI on. So the coach can reason about recovery, requests include values your device computed: readiness score, sleep hours last night and on average, heart-rate variability, resting heart rate, muscle freshness, one-rep-max figures, and recent session history. These are derived summaries, not raw Apple Health or Health Connect records, but they are still health information and we treat them as sensitive.
  • Coach chat, meal planning, and food parsing, with Premium cloud AI on. Chat sends your conversation history, which is everything you have typed to the coach in that conversation. Meal planning sends your calorie and macro targets, goal, day count, and any dietary preferences you typed. Food parsing sends the food description you typed.
  • Voice command fallback, with Premium cloud AI on. If on-device planning of a spoken command fails, the transcript of that command is sent to the same service. Only a restricted, non-health tool set is available on that path.
  • In-app feedback (off by default). Sends the anonymous device hash, your rating, the category, the message you typed, app version, platform, and device model. Kept for one year. On Android you can additionally tick a box to attach your local debug log. Rating an AI response also sends that exchange, up to 2,000 characters of your message and 2,000 of the reply, which can include whatever you typed to the coach.
  • AI quality telemetry (same off-by-default toggle). Sends chat mode, which model answered, response time, whether you acted on the answer, timestamp, app version, platform, and the anonymous device hash. It sends no message content. Kept for 90 days.
  • Optional iCloud Backup (off by default). Your data is encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM and written to your own private iCloud, using a key stored only in your iCloud Keychain. RoxyKovu holds no key and cannot read it. Raw Apple Health records are excluded from the backup.
  • Optional settings sync and database mirroring (both off by default). These use your own iCloud, not our servers, and exclude consent, health-permission, and feedback keys.
  • Food lookup. The food name you type is sent to the USDA FoodData Central public API to find nutrition data. No device hash or identifier is attached.
  • Update check. The app's bundle ID is sent to Apple's public app-lookup endpoint to see whether a newer version exists.
  • Spotify (optional). If you connect Spotify for now-playing control, Spotify handles the sign-in. FFM does not store your Spotify credentials.
  • Nearby workout sharing (you start it). A custom workout is sent straight to the other device over local peer-to-peer networking. There is no server in the middle.
  • Purchases. Apple or Google processes payment. Your receipt or purchase token is checked against Apple's or Google's verification service. We never see your card details. On Android, a Google Play Integrity token is attached to cloud AI requests to prevent abuse.
  • Android system backup. Android's own Auto Backup is enabled at its platform default, so Android may copy app data to your Google account independently of FFM. You can turn this off in your Android system settings under Backup.

On Mac, FFM has no Apple Health access at all. Health reading happens only on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

18.2 20 Questions (2Q)

The game and its AI opponent run on your device, and there is no 20 Questions account. 2Q is ad-supported on iPhone and iPad, so unlike the rest of our apps it does involve advertising and tracking. The Apple TV version shows no ads.

Platforms
iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and an iMessage app
Account
None. Optional Game Center sign-in only.
Ads
Yes, Google AdMob rewarded ads you choose to watch. None on Apple TV.
AI
Runs on your device using Apple Intelligence.

Stays on your device

  • Battle Mosey's reasoning. Prompts, your questions, and the model's answers are processed by Apple's on-device Foundation Models. No question you ask is sent to any AI service.
  • Game progress, stats, coins, cosmetics, theme, nickname, and settings.
  • iMessage secret words, which are encrypted at rest on your device. If encryption is unavailable the app refuses to store the word rather than saving it in the clear.
  • The offline reference cache the AI reads from.
  • Reminders, which are scheduled locally on your device rather than pushed from a server.

What can leave your device

  • Advertising. Google AdMob serves the optional rewarded ads. Google and its certified partners may collect your advertising identifier, IP address, and ad-interaction data. Where the law requires it we show a consent prompt before personalized ads run, and on iPhone and iPad we present Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can revisit these choices from Legal, then Manage Privacy Options.
  • Public reference lookups during Battle Mosey. When the answer is not in the bundled offline cache, the app requests the public Wikipedia and Wikidata pages for the secret item. The item's name goes in that request. The questions you ask never do.
  • Feedback you send. Your message (up to 4,000 characters), the category, app version and build, platform, device model, timestamp, and a hashed anonymous install ID used only for rate limiting.
  • Mosey accuracy telemetry (opt-in, off by default). If you turn on "Help Improve Mosey" in Settings, the app uploads records of how the AI decided an answer, and those records include the exact question you asked. Kept for 180 days. Leave the toggle off and nothing is uploaded; the same records are still kept locally so the in-app inspector works.
  • Multiplayer and Group Play. Game state travels directly between devices over Apple's peer-to-peer networking, encrypted by Apple. There is no RoxyKovu server. The peer name shown to others is your device name or the nickname you set.
  • iMessage games. Game state rides inside the iMessage conversation and is protected by iMessage's own encryption.
  • Game Center and purchases. Handled by Apple if you use them.
  • Voice input. Where on-device recognition is unavailable, Apple's speech service transcribes the audio under Apple's terms.

18.3 Numera Saga

Numera Saga plays entirely on your device and sends nothing to RoxyKovu. There is no account and no RoxyKovu server. Numera Saga succeeds SumSquare, which has been retired.

Platforms
iPhone and iPad, plus a home-screen widget
Account
None. Optional Game Center sign-in only.
Ads
Yes, but only the optional rewarded tile you choose to tap. Never forced, never full-screen.
AI
None. Puzzles and story are authored content shipped with the app.

Stays on your device

  • Settings: theme, high contrast, symbol overlay, text size, sound and music volume, haptics, and daily reminder.
  • Your profile: nickname, avatar, and cosmetic choices.
  • Progress and stats: coins, wins, streaks, experience, achievements, story progress, star records, and codex entries.
  • Any puzzle you have in progress.
  • Widget state and locally scheduled daily reminders.
  • A key in the device Keychain used to detect tampering with local saves, plus purchase transaction IDs. Both are marked device-only and excluded from iCloud and device transfer.

What can leave your device

  • Rewarded ads. Google AdMob serves the ad when you tap the reward tile. Google and its partners may collect your advertising identifier, IP address, and ad-interaction data. Consent prompts are shown where required, along with Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt.
  • Optional iCloud progress sync (on by default, switchable off in Settings). Game state only: coins, streaks, win counters, achievements, unlock flags, nickname, cosmetics, story progress, experience, and volume. It goes to your own iCloud account, not to us. Turn it off in Settings and every sync path stops.
  • Game Center and purchases. Handled by Apple if you use them.

Numera Saga has no analytics, no crash reporter, and no telemetry endpoint. Aside from the ad SDK, the app makes no network requests at all.

18.4 Terminally Online

Terminally Online makes no network requests of its own. Your save is encrypted on your device, and the only things that ever leave are Game Center scores and App Store purchases, both handled by Apple.

Platforms
iPhone and iPad
Account
None. Optional Game Center sign-in only.
Ads
None.
AI
None. Enemy behavior is hand-written game logic.

Stays on your device

  • Your entire save: character, class, level, stats, run history, inventory, abilities, titles, currencies, and achievement flags.
  • The save file is AES-GCM encrypted at rest, using a key generated on your device and held in your Keychain.
  • The display name you type for your character. It is stored locally, never sent to Game Center, and never shown to other players.
  • Display preferences and tutorial flags.
  • A save that fails its integrity check is quarantined locally rather than deleted, so nothing is lost silently.

What can leave your device

  • Game Center (optional). Scores and achievements go to Apple only if you are signed in. Decline and the game plays exactly the same without leaderboards.
  • Purchases. Apple processes payment. We never see your card details.
  • Your own iCloud (optional). The encrypted save blob and its key sync through your iCloud key-value store and iCloud Keychain so your progress follows you between your devices. Because the blob is encrypted with a key only you hold, the synced data is unreadable without your device.

The game contains no analytics, no crash reporter, no advertising, and no tracking prompt. It sells consumable in-app currency and includes a randomized draw mechanic that spends that currency. Deleting the app removes the local save, but the iCloud copy and Keychain key persist in your Apple account until you clear them there.

18.5 VitalQuest: Ascend

VitalQuest: Ascend is in development and has not been released. When it ships, this section will describe exactly what it collects, before it is available to download. It will display no advertisements.

18.6 Triage

Triage is built to keep your money data on your device. Your accounts, balances, and transactions are stored locally in an encrypted database. RoxyKovu does not receive, store, or have access to your financial data. There is no Triage account and no Triage server.

Platforms
Mac, iPhone, and iPad
Account
None. No sign-in of any kind.
Ads
None.
AI
On-device by default. Optional cloud AI is off unless you connect your own provider key.

Stays on your device

  • Everything you enter or import: accounts, balances, transactions, budgets, promotional balances, and rules.
  • On-device AI. Triage runs locally using Apple's Foundation Models or a local model you choose to install. Prompts and responses never leave your device on this path.

What can leave your device

  • Optional cloud AI (off by default). If you turn it on and connect a third-party provider with your own API key, Triage sends redacted data to the provider you chose, under that provider's terms. For categorizing transactions that is transaction text: merchant or payee, amount, date, category, and last four digits. For the AI assistant it also includes a working summary of your finances: account names, balances and APRs, totals, income and spending by category, top merchants, recent transactions, and promotional balances. Full account, card, routing, Social Security, and IBAN numbers are removed first. That redaction is best effort and not guaranteed, and some providers, especially free tiers, may retain or train on what you submit. You can disable cloud AI and remove your key at any time.
  • Exchange rates. If you hold balances in more than one currency, Triage downloads public exchange-rate data from the European Central Bank to estimate cross-currency totals. That request fetches rates only. It sends none of your accounts, balances, or transactions.
  • Widgets and Live Activities (optional). A short financial summary, such as net worth, cash, debt, and the next payment or promotion, is shared with the widget so it can be drawn. It stays on your device, but it can appear on your Home Screen or Lock Screen where anyone who can see your screen can read it.
  • Siri and Shortcuts (optional). Your spoken or typed request is processed by Apple's Siri under Apple's terms. The figure itself is read from data already on your device.
  • Optional iCloud sync (off by default). Your data syncs through your own iCloud using Apple's CloudKit. The sensitive money fields are end-to-end encrypted, so neither Apple nor RoxyKovu can read them.
  • Your device and its backups. Your data lives on this device, so anyone with access to your unlocked device or your device backup can see it. App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID and idle locking helps protect it.
  • Exporting or sharing. If you export your data or use a share feature, you control where it goes and these protections no longer apply.
  • Purchases. Apple processes payment. We never receive your card details.
  • Connecting a provider or installing a model. Signing in to a provider or downloading a local model sends only connection information to that service, never your financial data.

RoxyKovu operates no Triage server and keeps no copy of your data, so in none of these cases does your financial data reach us. Triage contains no analytics, telemetry, advertising, or third-party tracking SDKs.

18.7 Vianta

Vianta brings AI to your Apple HomeKit smart home, entirely on your device. There is no account and no sign-in. Vianta collects no personal data, and it never transmits your home data to RoxyKovu or to any third party.

Platforms
Mac, iPhone, and iPad
Account
None. No sign-in of any kind.
Ads
None.
AI
Runs on your device. It makes no network calls.

Stays on your device

  • Your HomeKit data, including accessory names, rooms, zones, scenes, and device states, is read and processed on your device only.
  • The built-in assistant runs on Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Your requests and its responses are processed locally.
  • The local interface. Vianta exposes a small interface that AI tools and scripts on the same Mac can use, including through the open Model Context Protocol. It is bound to localhost, active only while the app is open, and requires a secret token. It is not reachable from your network or from the internet.

What can leave your device

  • Optional in-app feedback. If you choose Settings, then Send feedback, the text you type plus basic app and device information (app version, build, OS version, and device model) is sent over HTTPS to RoxyKovu so we can improve the app. This is the only outbound data Vianta sends. If you never send feedback, nothing leaves your device.

Vianta has no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs that collect data.

18.8 Naval Letter Builder

Naval Letter Builder drafts, formats, and exports correspondence entirely on your device. The only data that ever leaves is feedback you type and choose to send, plus any file you export yourself. There is no account and no server-side copy of your drafts.

Platforms
iPhone and iPad
Account
None. Optional Face ID or Touch ID app lock is local to your device.
Ads
None.
AI
The writing critics run on your device using Apple Intelligence, and can be switched off.

Stays on your device

  • Every draft, stored in the app's private storage with iOS file protection applied. Drafts are not exposed to the Files app.
  • Your saved defaults: letterhead and command lines, SSIC, originator, signer name, signature variant, your drawn signature image, and font and classification preferences.
  • Dictation. Speech recognition is forced to on-device mode, and if your device cannot do on-device recognition the app reports an error rather than sending your audio to a server.
  • Camera scans and photo imports. Text recognition runs locally through Apple's Vision framework.
  • AI critic activity. Suggestions and rationale live in a short in-memory buffer that is never written to disk. Accept and skip counts stay in local settings and are never transmitted.
  • Document generation. Word and PDF files are produced by an export engine bundled inside the app and run offline.
  • Clipboard copies are marked local-only, so they do not travel to your other Apple devices through Universal Clipboard.

What can leave your device

  • Feedback you send. The message you type goes to a RoxyKovu service in the US East region. The app warns you before sending. Do not paste classified or controlled unclassified information into the feedback box.
  • Files you export or share. Once you export a document or hand it to another app, you control where it goes and this policy no longer governs it.

Naval Letter Builder has no analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or attribution SDKs, and no third-party packages at all. It does not disable Apple's system-wide Writing Tools or system keyboard dictation, so if you route text through those OS features, Apple's terms govern that text rather than ours.

18.9 EDEN

EDEN is professional clinical software, and it works differently from the rest of our apps: it is a client for an electronic health record, so clinical data is stored on RoxyKovu's secured infrastructure rather than only on the device. Speech recognition and the Eden assistant still run entirely on the device. EDEN is licensed to healthcare practices, not sold to consumers.

Platforms
iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Account
Required. Issued by your practice, with multi-factor authentication supported.
Ads
None.
AI
Inference runs on your device. There is no third-party or cloud AI provider.

Stays on the device

  • Speech recognition. Dictation and the wake word are forced to on-device mode, so raw audio is not sent to Apple or to us.
  • Wake-word detection and its personalization, which use a bundled model retrained locally. Voice enrollment samples never leave the device.
  • The Eden assistant's reasoning, which runs on Apple's on-device Foundation Models. There is no OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or other external model provider in the app.
  • Document scanning, scanned-lab text extraction, and before-and-after photo comparison, all processed locally.
  • Conversation memory with Eden, written to an encrypted local file that is excluded from device backups.
  • Sign-in tokens, held in the device Keychain, marked device-only so they never sync to iCloud. Passwords are never stored on the device.
  • Recently viewed and open charts, cached per device and never synced to the server.
  • When the app is backgrounded or locked, caches, temporary files, and the pasteboard are cleared.

What leaves the device

  • Clinical data, by design. Patients, encounters, problems, allergies, medications, orders, labs, prescriptions, billing, scheduling, messages, and tasks live on RoxyKovu's AWS infrastructure in the US East region, encrypted in transit and at rest. This is what an EHR is; the record has to outlive any one device.
  • Sign-in. Credentials and multi-factor codes are sent over TLS to the EDEN authentication service.
  • Ambient scribe output. The encounter transcript and the generated note, suggested codes, and draft summary are uploaded and attached to the encounter. The audio itself is never uploaded; the text is.
  • Files and images. Clinical photos, encounter photos, insurance cards, intake signatures, lab images, chat attachments, and documents upload to RoxyKovu's private storage.
  • Audit trail. Every access to protected health information is logged with who, what, and when, as HIPAA requires.

EDEN carries no analytics, crash reporting, attribution, or advertising SDKs, and no tracking prompt. Clinical data in EDEN is not end-to-end encrypted: the service can process stored records, which is what makes server-side search, auditing, and practice-wide access possible. Section 5.6 covers how we handle clinical health data and HIPAA obligations.

18.10 Clara

Clara holds the people you track, their details, your gift ideas, and your never-give rules on your device and in your own private iCloud. The AI runs on your device, there are no analytics or advertising SDKs, and no RoxyKovu server stores your records. Clara has not been released yet; this section describes the app as built and will be updated at launch.

Platforms
iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Account
None. Your own iCloud account is the only identity.
Ads
None.
AI
Runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. No cloud AI provider, no API key.

Stays on your device

  • Everything you record: people, relationships, birthdays and occasions, profile fields, gift ideas, notes, reminders, budgets, gift history, circles, and household tasks, written to encrypted local storage.
  • Never-give rules and dislikes, which are enforced locally.
  • Photos, avatars, and mood-board images you add.
  • Contacts import reads only the single contact you tap. Clara never reads through your address book.
  • All AI prompting and generation, using Apple's on-device Foundation Models with plain non-AI fallbacks when Apple Intelligence is unavailable. Anything the assistant proposes to change requires your explicit confirmation first.
  • Reminders and occasion alerts, scheduled locally on your device.

What can leave your device

  • Your own iCloud (on by default, switchable off). Your records sync to your own private iCloud so they follow you between your devices. This is your Apple account, not a RoxyKovu server, and no other person can read it. Clara uses standard CloudKit protection rather than app-level end-to-end encryption, so whether it is end-to-end encrypted depends on your iCloud Advanced Data Protection setting.
  • Sharing with another person (off by default). When you turn sharing on, only the profile fields you wrote about yourself and your own avatar become readable by the people you invite. Your gift planning, ideas, notes, and activity stay private to you. That surprise-protection boundary is enforced in code and covered by tests. Inviting someone sends their email address to Apple so it can resolve their iCloud account.
  • Beta diagnostics (TestFlight builds only, on by default with an opt-out in Settings). During the beta we upload roughly once a day: a random per-install identifier, app version, platform, OS version, device model, and events. Be aware that AI events include the exact text of your Ask Clara request, up to 2,000 characters, along with a first name when that name appears in what you typed. If you type "add a Kindle for Mom's birthday," that sentence reaches our storage. Non-AI events carry shape only, never names or field values. This is switched off in Settings under Diagnostics, and it does not exist in App Store builds.
  • Feedback you send. The category, your message (up to 4,000 characters), a random per-install identifier, app version, and platform. None of your records are attached.
  • Discover product search. Search terms go to a RoxyKovu service that queries a merchant catalog on your behalf. Terms come either from what you typed or from a person's interests, with the person's name stripped and never-give conflicts removed before the request. Interest keywords leave the device; names and profile records do not.
  • Product images and merchant links. Product thumbnails load directly from merchant image servers, so those servers see your IP address. Tapping a product opens the merchant's page in your browser as an ordinary web visit.
  • Voice input. Speech recognition prefers on-device transcription but does not require it, so on some devices and languages Apple's speech service transcribes the audio under Apple's terms.

Clara links no third-party SDKs at all. There is no advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting library, and no affiliate redirect service is currently in use.

18.11 PatchShepherd

PatchShepherd is a Windows desktop utility that finds outdated software on your PC and helps you update it. It has no analytics and no telemetry: it never reports your activity, and it never sends your list of installed applications to us. The only information that reaches RoxyKovu is feedback you choose to type and send.

  • Platforms: Windows 10 and newer, through the Microsoft Store.
  • Account: none with RoxyKovu. There is no sign-in and no license key. Pro is a one-time purchase, and your entitlement is checked through Microsoft Store licensing using the Microsoft account you are already signed in to.
  • Ads: none.
  • Analytics and telemetry: none. There is no analytics, telemetry, or crash-reporting component in the app, and nothing is sent automatically to report how you use it.

Stays on your device

  • Your scanned software inventory, available updates, health scores, and update history.
  • Your settings, including theme, language, scheduled scans, and the record that you accepted the terms. These live in the Windows registry under your user account and in the app's own folder in your local application data.
  • A local activity log, kept on your PC, that records the package-manager commands the app ran and the applications it detected.
  • PatchShepherd does not collect your computer name, your Windows username, your domain, or a hardware inventory.

What can leave your device

  • Feedback you send. If you open Settings and send feedback, we receive the message you typed, a randomly generated identifier for your installation (not tied to you or to your hardware), the app version, your Windows version, and a timestamp. It is handled by our own Amazon Web Services endpoint in the US East (Ohio) region, which also sees your IP address as part of the connection.
  • The optional diagnostic log attached to that feedback. The feedback dialog offers to attach a copy of the local activity log, and that box is ticked by default. If you leave it ticked, the log is encrypted and uploaded with your message. It contains recent app activity, including the commands PatchShepherd ran and the applications it detected on your PC. Untick the box if you would rather not send it.
  • Version lookups for .NET tools. During a scan, including a scheduled one, PatchShepherd asks nuget.org for the current version of each .NET global tool you have installed. Only the package name is sent, but nuget.org sees your IP address.
  • Windows Update checks. When Windows Update scanning is enabled, the Windows Update agent contacts Microsoft in the normal way.
  • Package manager traffic. To find and install updates, PatchShepherd runs the package managers already on your PC, such as WinGet, the Microsoft Store, Chocolatey, Scoop, PowerShell Gallery, npm, and pip. Each contacts its own official repositories directly and sends whatever it normally sends, which includes the names of the packages being checked. We do not route or copy that traffic.
  • Installing a package manager. If you ask PatchShepherd to set up Chocolatey or Scoop for you, it downloads and runs that project's official install script from that project's own website.
  • Optional AI access, off by default. PatchShepherd can expose your update list, installed software, and update history to an AI assistant running on the same PC, through a local interface. It is off until you turn it on, and where that assistant then sends the information is governed by whichever assistant you chose.
  • Pro purchase. Microsoft processes the payment and the entitlement check. We never see your card details.

PatchShepherd needs administrator rights to install updates. That is a consequence of what the app does, not a way of collecting information about you.
