Privacy Policy

Overview

Caipi is designed with privacy in mind. The application runs entirely on your local machine, and we collect minimal data necessary to provide and improve our service.

Who We Are

The data controller for Caipi is Paul-Louis Pröve (Germany). You can reach us at caipi@plpp.de.

Data We Collect

Purchase Information

When you purchase Caipi, our payment processor Paddle collects:

• Email address (for license delivery and support)
• Payment information (processed securely by Paddle)
• Country (for tax compliance)

This information is subject to Paddle's Privacy Policy.

License Validation

When you activate your license, we verify it against Paddle's API. This sends:

• Your license key
• A device identifier (hashed, non-reversible)

Update Checks

Caipi periodically checks for updates (for example via GitHub Releases). This sends a request containing your current version number. Like any web request, the services involved may also receive technical data such as your IP address and user agent, which is used only for basic security and troubleshooting.

Data We Do NOT Collect

• Your conversations with Claude
• Your files or file contents
• Commands you run
• Usage analytics or telemetry
• Browsing history or behavior tracking

All interactions with Claude go directly from your device to Anthropic's servers. We never see or store this data.

Third-Party Services

Anthropic (Claude)

Caipi uses Claude Code, which connects to Anthropic's servers. Your conversations and data sent to Claude are governed by Anthropic's Privacy Policy.

Paddle

Payments and license management are handled by Paddle. See Paddle's Privacy Policy.

GitHub

Software updates are distributed via GitHub Releases. See GitHub's Privacy Statement.

Legal Bases (GDPR)

Where GDPR applies, we process personal data based on: performance of a contract (to deliver and maintain your license), compliance with legal obligations (tax/accounting), and legitimate interests (basic security and support).

Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Union, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Request restriction of processing
• Object to processing of your data
• Data portability

To exercise these rights, contact us at caipi@plpp.de.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Data Retention

We retain purchase records and license information for as long as your license is valid and for a reasonable period thereafter for legal and accounting purposes. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

Cookies

We do not use tracking cookies on our website. Our site may use essential cookies required for basic functionality.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. All communications use HTTPS encryption. We do not store sensitive payment information — this is handled entirely by Paddle.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or through the Software. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
