QuickType privacy policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

QuickType is a desktop app where a team of AIs builds projects on your computer. It is run by Kaleb Griffith ("we"). This policy says what QuickType keeps, where it goes, and what you can do about it. Questions: support@voltyn.org.

The short version

Your projects, chats with the AIs and your AI keys stay on your computer. We never see them.
If you sign in, our server keeps your GitHub username and id, and what you do in the Community (listings, reviews, posts, purchases, your earnings).
Error reports are off unless you turn them on, and you can see exactly what would be sent first.
The AI services you connect get the prompts and code needed for your project, under their own privacy policies.
We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising profiles.

What stays on your computer

These live in QuickType's folder on your PC and are not sent to us:

your projects, their files, plans and build history
chats with the AIs
AI keys (saved in a file only your Windows account can read)
your settings, inventory and downloaded parts
crash records (crashes.jsonl), unless you send an error report

What the AI services receive

QuickType sends each AI you connect what it needs to work on your project: instructions, parts of your project's files and the plan. Which services get it depends on which ones you connect, for example Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (ChatGPT and Codex), Google (Gemini) or GitHub (Copilot). Each one handles that data under its own privacy policy and terms. A local AI (Ollama) runs on your computer and sends nothing out.

You sign in with GitHub. Our server (hosted by Cloudflare) keeps:

Your account: your GitHub id and username, your plan (free, Pro, Tester, DevOps), when you joined and last signed in. A sign-in session is stored only as a scrambled hash.
Community activity: things you list in the shop (name, description, pictures, files), reviews and star ratings, discussions and replies, and reports you make about content.
The market and your earnings: which numbered copies you own, your listings, purchases and sales, and a ledger of your earnings and payouts (amounts, dates, what it was for).
Your profile: a shown name, a short bio, one link, a colour, a scene and up to 3 pinned listings, if you fill them in. Your picture is your public GitHub picture.
Ads you choose to watch: when you started each one and whether you watched it to the end or ended it early (and after how long), so the Pro pass can be given, the daily limit kept, and ad watching counted.
A record of staff actions (for example, a listing taken down), so changes can be checked later.

Anything you post in the Community (listings, reviews, discussions) is public to other QuickType users along with your GitHub username. So is your profile page: what you filled in, what you sell, how it's rated, how many copies you've sold and how many posts you've made. Your profile never shows your earnings, what you bought, your email or when you were last online.

If someone breaks the rules, DevOps can suspend their account for a while (they can't post, sell or list) or clear what they wrote on their profile. The account owner sees the reason in the app.

Error reports (opt-in)

Error reports are off until you turn them on (the home screen asks once, and it's in Account > Data). When they're on, QuickType sends a short report at most once a day: the app version, your platform, build statistics, error types and error codes. It does not include your name, folder names, your project's code, your chats or your keys. Account > Data has "See what would be sent", which shows the exact text. Reports go to our server; if it can't be reached, they go to the QuickType repository's GitHub Issues using your own GitHub sign-in.

Payments (when switched on)

Card payments and payouts are handled by Stripe (sellers get a Stripe Express account for payouts; we keep only its id and whether payouts are ready). We never see or store your full card number. Stripe collects what it needs (for example, payment details, and identity details for sellers who get paid out) under Stripe's privacy policy. We keep the amounts and dates of purchases and payouts.

Ads (when switched on)

Ads only play when you press "Watch an ad". They are shown by an ad network (for example Google), which may use cookies or similar technology and collect information about the ad view under its own privacy policy. We only keep when each ad view started and finished.

Only the services that run QuickType: Cloudflare (hosting and storage), GitHub (sign-in, and error reports if the server can't be reached), Stripe (payments, when on) and the ad network (ads you choose to watch, when on). We may also share information if the law requires it. We don't sell personal information.

How long we keep it

Account and Community data: while your account exists.
Sign-in sessions: they end after 30 days without use.
Error reports: deleted after 90 days.
Earnings, purchase and sales records: kept as long as the law requires for financial records.

Your choices

Use QuickType without signing in. Everything that works on your PC alone keeps working.
Turn error reports off at any time in Account > Data.
Sign out at any time. Deleting your projects and settings from your PC removes them for good.
Ask us to see, correct or delete your server data at support@voltyn.org. We'll answer within 30 days. Some records, like completed sales, may need to be kept by law.

Children

QuickType is not for children under 13. If you're under 18, you need a parent's or guardian's permission to buy or sell anything. If we learn we have data from a child under 13, we delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes and QuickType's "What's new" will say so. Big changes will be shown in the app before they take effect.
