Data Logging Policy

1. Local-First Architecture
Klinqd believes in strict data privacy. The Klinqd is a local desktop application built on Electron. Your settings, target keywords, personas, action quotas, and comprehensive activity logs are stored entirely in a local SQLite database (`.db` file) on your physical hard drive. We do not have access to your personal data.

2. Telemetry & Licensing
To protect the integrity of the Software and prevent piracy, the application makes periodic HTTP requests to our secure licensing server. The only data transmitted during these requests is your 16-character Serial Key and a one-way cryptographic hash of your Hardware ID (HWID). No personally identifiable information (PII) is included in this payload.

3. Third-Party Integrations (Claude MCP)
The Software utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bridge browser automation with Anthropic's Claude. When you issue commands or when the background auto-loop executes, data scraped from the DOM (such as post text, author names, and URLs) is passed to your local Claude Code instance. You are subject to Anthropic's data privacy policies regarding the prompts and context processed by their models.

4. Analytics & Tracking
We do not inject tracking pixels, Google Analytics, or invasive usage telemetry into the compiled desktop application. What happens on your machine stays on your machine.

5. Cookies and Sessions
The internal Puppeteer browser saves your LinkedIn session cookies locally inside a `.browser_data` cache directory to keep you logged in. These cookies are never transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers.
