Overview

MarketOS Inc. ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you purchase and use our MarketOS software application.

MarketOS is designed as a local-first application. This means the software runs entirely on your computer, and your creative work, brand data, and generated content remain on your local machine. We do not have access to the content you create.

Your content stays on your machine. We never see, store, or have access to your generated images, captions, or written content.

Local-First Architecture

MarketOS is built with a local-first architecture, which is fundamental to our privacy commitment. Here's what this means for you:

Your Data Stays Local

All brand data, generated content, images, and settings are stored on your computer, not on our servers.

API Keys Protected

Your API keys for OpenAI, Google, Stability AI, and other services are stored locally and encrypted. We never see them.

Direct API Connections

When generating content, MarketOS connects directly to AI providers using your keys. We are not an intermediary.

No Phone Home

MarketOS does not send usage data, analytics, or telemetry back to our servers. The app works offline after installation.
