Privacy Policy

Privacy by design, not by accident. Your data stays on your device.

Last Updated: December 3, 2025

Our Privacy Commitment

FlowBatch is a 100% offline desktop application built with privacy as a core principle. We designed FlowBatch to process your files locally on your device without any cloud uploads, tracking, or data collection.

This privacy policy explains how FlowBatch operates, what data stays on your device, and how we handle information through our website. In short: your media files never leave your computer.

Desktop Application

What FlowBatch Processes

FlowBatch processes your image and video files entirely on your local device. When you create a workflow and run batch processing:

  • All file processing happens locally using FFmpeg and other bundled tools
  • Files are read from your selected input folders
  • Processed files are written to your selected output folders
  • No files are uploaded to any server or cloud service
  • No network connections are made during file processing

Local Data Storage

FlowBatch stores the following information only on your local device:

  • Workflow Presets: Your saved workflows (node configurations and connections)
  • Application Settings: User preferences and interface customization
  • License Information: Your license key (if you purchased a license)
  • Processing Logs: Local logs of batch operations for troubleshooting

All of this data remains on your computer in your user application data folder. We have no access to this information.

What FlowBatch Does NOT Collect

FlowBatch does not collect, transmit, or access:

  • Your image or video files
  • File names, folder paths, or directory structures
  • EXIF metadata or other file information
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Crash reports or diagnostic data
  • Your workflow presets or configurations
  • System information or hardware specifications
  • Personal information or identifiable data

🔒 Zero Network Activity

The FlowBatch desktop application does not make any network requests during file processing. You can verify this by monitoring your network traffic or running FlowBatch completely offline.

License Activation

When you purchase a FlowBatch license and activate it:

  • The license key is validated locally using cryptographic verification
  • Your license key is stored only on your device
  • No personal information is required for activation
  • License validation does not send data to our servers

FlowBatch uses offline license verification based on cryptographic signatures. Your license key is verified mathematically without needing to contact external servers.

Website Analytics

Our website uses Ahrefs Analytics to understand visitor behavior and improve the site. Ahrefs collects:

  • Pages visited and time on site
  • Referral sources (where visitors came from)
  • Approximate location (city/country level)
  • Device type and browser information
  • Anonymized IP addresses

This data helps us understand how people use our website and marketing materials. Analytics are only for the website and have no connection to the FlowBatch desktop application.

Waiting List Sign-ups

When you join our waiting list via the website form:

  • We collect your email address (required)
  • We collect your name (optional)
  • Form submissions are processed by Formspree
  • We use this information only to send launch announcements and early access invitations
  • You can unsubscribe at any time

Email Communications

If you sign up for our waiting list, we may email you:

  • Launch announcements and product availability
  • Early access invitations and beta program information
  • Major feature updates and releases

We will not sell, share, or rent your email address to third parties for marketing purposes. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

Cookies

Our website uses minimal cookies:

  • Analytics Cookies: Used by Ahrefs to track website usage (can be blocked with standard browser settings)
  • No Tracking Cookies: We do not use third-party advertising or tracking pixels

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. This may affect website functionality but will not impact the FlowBatch desktop application.

Data Security

Because FlowBatch processes all files locally on your device, you are in complete control of your data security. We recommend:

  • Keep your operating system and security software up to date
  • Use strong passwords and device encryption
  • Backup important files regularly
  • Keep your FlowBatch license key secure

For website data, we use industry-standard security practices and HTTPS encryption for all communications.

Data Retention

Desktop Application

All data created by FlowBatch (presets, settings, logs) remains on your device until you delete it. Uninstalling FlowBatch will remove the application but may leave user data in your application data folder depending on your operating system's uninstaller behavior.

Website Data

We retain waiting list email addresses until:

  • You request deletion by contacting us
  • You unsubscribe from our communications
  • We determine the data is no longer necessary (e.g., after product launch concludes)

International Users

FlowBatch is operated from the United States. If you are accessing our website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States.

  • We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
