Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Keepp is a local-first desktop app. Your photos, videos, and the catalog Keepp builds about them stay on your computer.

We don't upload them, we don't have a server that holds them, and we don't have a way to look at them.

What stays on your device

  • All scanned media files (we never copy them off your machine).
  • The SQLite catalog and thumbnails (under %APPDATA%/com.keepp.app/).
  • Face embeddings, scene labels, and similarity hashes.
  • Your manual tags, people names, and recipes.

What does touch the internet

Checkout & payments

Purchases are processed by Stripe. Stripe collects your name, billing email, billing address, and payment method — we never see or store your card number, CVV, or bank details. We receive your email, purchased plan, and order reference so we can issue your license key.

License activation/validation

When you activate Keepp, the app sends your license key and a hostname (used as the device label) to our license server to validate activation limits. No photos, videos, or catalog data are included.

Place-name lookup

Via Nominatim/OpenStreetMap, only when you turn it ON in Settings. GPS coordinates leave your device to receive city/country labels. No personally identifying info is included.

Auto-updater

Pings updates.keepp.app on launch to check for a newer version. We log only the requested target/arch/version (no user identifier).

Your data rights

For payment and billing data held by Stripe, contact Stripe directly: stripe.com/contact/privacy. For license or order questions, email us at [email protected] — we respond within 30 days. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
