The "Local-First" Guarantee

DeClaw is built on a Local-First architecture. This means:

  • We do not have servers that process your text, prompts, or files.
  • All PII redaction and injection scanning happens on your device.
  • Your sensitive data never leaves your machine to be processed by us.

1. Data We Do Not Collect

Since the DeClaw engine runs locally as a binary on your macOS device, Itova Labs has no access to:

  • The contents of your screen or clipboard.
  • The prompts you send to AI assistants.
  • The files you scan with the Skill Scanner.
  • Your personal identifiers (SSN, Credit Cards, etc.).

2. Data We Do Collect

We collect minimal metadata to ensure the app works and to improve the product:

License Validation

To verify your license, the app sends a hash of your machine ID and your license key to our licensing server.

Crash Reports (Opt-In)

If you enable "Share Analytics", the app sends crash traces and usage statistics.
