1. Who this policy applies to
This policy applies to the Touchless desktop application, its tutorial and control features, and the public Touchless download website.
2. Information Touchless can access
Depending on which features you use, Touchless can access, collect, or locally generate:
- Camera input for hand gesture recognition.
- Microphone input for voice commands and dictation.
- Optional phone camera and phone microphone streams when you enable QR-based pairing over your local network.
- On-screen content you intentionally capture using screenshot, recording, or clip features.
- Files and folders you choose to save to, such as drawings, screenshots, screen recordings, and clips.
- Application settings, tutorial progress, selected devices, custom gestures, and similar local preferences.
- Limited device and version metadata needed when the app checks for new releases.
- Optional diagnostic or debug files created on your device if debugging or advanced features are enabled.
3. How Touchless uses this information
Touchless uses this information only to provide the product's features, such as gesture control, mouse mode, dictation, saved outputs, update checks, and optional phone pairing.
Touchless does not require account creation to use its core desktop features.
4. Local processing
Touchless is designed so that gesture recognition and core voice features run primarily on your device.
- Camera frames are used to detect gestures and hand landmarks during runtime.
- Microphone audio is used for voice commands and dictation when you enable those features.
- If you enable phone camera or phone microphone mode, the stream is sent only between your devices over your local network.
- Saved screenshots, recordings, clips, and drawings are created only when you intentionally trigger those features.
Touchless does not sell your personal information, and it is not designed as an advertising or data-broker product.
5. Disclosure to third parties and network activity
Touchless may make limited network requests in the following situations:
- Checking for new app releases or downloading update packages.
- Loading files from the Touchless download or update host when you install or update the app.
- Serving the optional QR pairing page to your phone over your local network when you enable the phone camera or phone microphone feature.
For currently released builds, this may involve third-party infrastructure such as GitHub for release metadata and Cloudflare-hosted download delivery. If a future Touchless feature explicitly sends user content to an outside AI or cloud service, that feature should be treated as optional and disclosed in-product before use.
6. Storage and retention
Touchless stores data primarily on your device, including settings and files you intentionally create or save through the app.
- Settings and preferences may be stored in local Touchless configuration folders such as
~/.touchless. - Saved outputs such as drawings, screenshots, recordings, and clips are stored in the folders you choose.
- Custom gestures and similar user-created content are stored locally so they remain available across sessions.
- Some temporary working files may be created during capture, export, or update operations and later cleaned up or overwritten by the app.
Most locally stored data remains on your device until you delete it, change save locations, clear the relevant files, or uninstall the app.
7. Security
Touchless is designed to reduce unnecessary data transfer by keeping core processing local where possible.
- Touchless uses operating-system permissions for camera and microphone access.
- Touchless update checks and download links are intended to use HTTPS endpoints.
- Touchless phone pairing is intended to use encrypted local-network connections.
- Access to local Touchless data depends on the security of your Windows account, device, and chosen storage locations.
No software can guarantee absolute security, and you are responsible for protecting access to your PC and saved files.
8. Your choices, access, and controls
You can control how Touchless accesses device data by:
- Granting or revoking camera and microphone permissions in Windows.
- Choosing whether to enable voice features, phone pairing features, screenshots, recordings, and clips.
- Deleting saved files, custom gestures, and local configuration data from your device.
- Uninstalling the app at any time.
Because Touchless stores most user data locally, you can usually access that information directly through the app itself, through the save folders you selected, or through the relevant Touchless configuration folders on your device.
9. What Touchless does not do by default
- Touchless does not require you to create an account to use its core desktop features.
- Touchless does not sell personal information.
- Touchless does not use always-on advertising trackers or behavioral advertising features in the current public desktop experience.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as Touchless adds or changes features. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
