Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 4, 2026
Keeply is a local-first desktop application — your files never leave your computer. This privacy policy explains the minimal data we actually process, who handles it, and your rights.
Table of Contents
Your files stay on your device
Keeply manages version history of your project files locally. All project files are stored only on your computer or NAS. Keeply does not upload, transmit, access, read, or process your file contents. We do not operate any cloud storage servers and cannot view your work at any time.
Network communications made by the Keeply desktop application are limited to:
- License verification: Communicates with Keygen.sh (see below)
- Update checks: Checks whether a new version is available
The desktop application does not collect or transmit any telemetry, usage analytics, file metadata, or file contents.
What we do NOT collect
| Category | Collected? |
|---|---|
| Your project files or file contents | ❌ Never |
| File names, paths, or directory structure | ❌ Never |
| Screen recordings, screenshots, or UI activity | ❌ Never |
| Credit card numbers or payment details | ❌ Never (handled by Paddle) |
| Passwords | ❌ Never |
| Browsing history | ❌ Never |
Data processed during license verification
To verify your software license, Keeply communicates with Keygen.sh (Keygen LLC, Virginia, USA). The data transmitted includes:
- License key — Confirms whether the license is valid
- Vault location identifier — A one-way hash of your project vault's unique ID (cannot be traced back to the original identifier or your file contents)
- Application version — Checks compatibility and license scope
- Vault location token — A hashed identifier of your team's vault location (cannot be reversed to the actual storage path)
We do not transmit your name, email address, or any file contents. Keygen holds SOC 2 Type II certification, uses Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) for international data transfers, and retains server logs for up to 30 days and analytics data for up to 90 days.
For details, see the Keygen.sh Privacy Policy.
Legal basis (GDPR): Contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b)).
Data processed during payment
All purchases of Keeply are processed by Paddle.com, which serves as our Merchant of Record. Your transaction is with Paddle, not Keeply. Paddle collects and processes: name, email address, billing address, payment method, location, and IP address.
Keeply never receives, stores, or accesses your credit card number or full payment details. Paddle may share limited buyer information (name, email, and transaction details) with us solely for order fulfillment and product support.
For details, see the Paddle Privacy Policy and Paddle Buyer Terms.
Legal basis (GDPR): Contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b)) and legitimate interest in fraud prevention (Article 6(1)(f)).
Data collected on our website
The Keeply marketing website (keeply.work) detects your preferred language entirely within your browser — we do not send your IP address to any third party for this purpose. Your language choice is saved to your browser's local storage only after you explicitly pick one from the language menu, or open a language-specific link (e.g. keeply.work/de/).
If you contact us by email, we retain the correspondence to respond to your inquiry. You will not be added to any marketing list unless you explicitly opt in.
Third-party services

| License verification logs (Keygen) | Up to 30 days (logs); up to 90 days (analytics) |
