Once ClearHarbor Desktop is installed, it works without an internet connection. The only thing that ever leaves your computer is a note you choose to write and send us, plus a set of non-identifying technical details about the app — never your documents or their contents.

What counts as “technical details”?

What's in the note: what you typed, cleaned twice — once on your own computer, before you see it, and again when it reaches us — and shown to you on screen before you send it.

What's in the technical details: around 60 small pieces of information about how the app was used — things like which screen you were on, how many items were found, your app and Windows version, and how large the document was. Each one is a category, a count, or a version number, never free text — none of them can hold a name, a document, or a file path, because the fields they're built from don't have room for that kind of thing.

How long we keep it: 30 days, then it's deleted automatically.

First time opening it on Windows?

Windows may show a caution screen the first time you open this — that's normal for a new app from an independent developer, not a sign of a problem. Click More info → Run anyway to continue.
