Before publication
This document is a review draft. It must be replaced with an approved policy after the legal business identity, privacy contact, support-email retention period, final hosting providers, applicable jurisdiction, and effective date are confirmed.
1. Scope
This draft covers the website at unitdeckstudio.com and the UnitDeck Local app for Windows. UnitDeckCloud is not a public service. Before any Cloud release, a separate or updated policy will describe account data, Workspace data, session cookies, hosting regions, subprocessors, retention, deletion, and export behavior.
2. Data stored by UnitDeck Local
UnitDeck Local stores planning data entered by the user in the local app-data area on the user's Windows PC. It is not automatically transmitted to UnitDeck Studio unless the user exports it or deliberately provides it for support.
Local database content
- Projects and subprojects
- Tasks, checklists, work records, recurring work, reminders, dependencies, and attachment metadata
- People, roles, equipment, and other resources
- Assignments, milestones, dependencies, availability, and holidays
- Data used to calculate schedules, workload, and reports
Default local locations
- Database:
%APPDATA%/FennecDeck/fennecdeck.sqlite - Attachments:
%APPDATA%/FennecDeck/attachments/ - Resource image icons:
%APPDATA%/FennecDeck/resource-icons/ - Backups:
%APPDATA%/FennecDeck/backups/ - Troubleshooting logs:
%LOCALAPPDATA%/FennecDeck/logs/
The user-facing product name is UnitDeck. The internal folder name FennecDeck remains to protect local data created by earlier development versions.
3. Information received through support
If you email support@unitdeckstudio.com, we may receive your email address, name or display name, the content of your message, and files you choose to attach. This information is used to respond, investigate issues, and improve product reliability.
Do not send original project files, customer information, passwords, verification codes, or sensitive business information unless a sanitized sample has been specifically requested.
Retention period to be confirmed: the approved policy must state the exact retention and deletion rules for support communications after the email operating policy and applicable laws are reviewed.
4. Website access information and cookies
The current website does not include advertising, behavioral analytics, account registration, a contact form, or marketing cookies. Email links open the visitor's own email application.
After deployment, hosting and network providers may automatically process standard access data—such as IP address, request time, requested URL, and browser information—for security and service operation. The approved policy must name the final providers, purposes, and retention terms after the Azure and DNS configuration is finalized.
5. Network use
UnitDeck Local does not synchronize project data to UnitDeckCloud and does not require a UnitDeck account. Its interface uses an internal server bound to 127.0.0.1 on the user's PC. Local product code does not include behavioral advertising or remote project-data telemetry.
Microsoft Store may process Microsoft account, acquisition, installation, update, diagnostic, and related service data under Microsoft's own terms and privacy statement. UnitDeck Local does not use a purchase or trial entitlement gate, and UnitDeck Studio does not directly process payment-card data for the Local app.
6. Backup, restore, and deletion
New full ZIP backups include the SQLite database, task attachment files, and resource image icons with a manifest and integrity hashes. Full restore validates the archive and creates a pre-restore backup; legacy .sqlite and .db files remain database-only restores. Clear All Data creates a pre-reset backup and leaves backups and logs. Local files and ZIP archives are not app-encrypted, so users must store them securely.
Uninstalling or using Clear All Data may leave backups or logs so data and recovery evidence can survive. To remove local data completely, preserve anything needed first, then review and remove the %APPDATA%/FennecDeck and %LOCALAPPDATA%/FennecDeck folders.
7. User choices and requests
Users can manage Local data through the app's backup, restore, and reset controls, and can preserve or remove local files directly. Requests to review or delete information deliberately provided through support may be sent to the official support address. The approved policy must add the applicable response periods and exceptions.
8. Changes to this policy
This policy will be updated to reflect actual behavior before adding accounts, Cloud synchronization, Microsoft Teams integration, payments, analytics, automatic updates, or other external services. Material changes will be announced on this website.
9. Contact
Privacy and local-data inquiries: support@unitdeckstudio.com
Effective date: to be confirmed after final legal and operational review.
