# Privacy
WinSight is a local desktop application. It has no account system, telemetry or automatic upload feature. The optional update check makes a user-triggered HTTPS request to the WinSight website. The public GitLab release endpoint is contacted only if the website version file is unavailable. No WinSight report data is sent.

## Data read locally
WinSight reads Windows version and activation state, hardware models, storage capacity and health data, network adapter information, selected registry values and Windows Management Instrumentation data. Advanced views can display product keys and the Windows MachineGuid.

## Exports
Exports are redacted by default. Redacted files replace the following values:
- current username
- computer name
- IP and MAC addresses
- Windows MachineGuid
- Product ID
- full installed and OEM product keys

Hardware models, Windows version, update dates and capacity figures remain in redacted reports. Treat those as potentially identifying in highly sensitive environments.

Full exports require Advanced Mode and an explicit confirmation. Console logs can contain command output and are added to a support bundle only in full mode.

## Local logs
Diagnostic logs are stored under `%APPDATA%\WinSight\logs` and are automatically deleted after 30 days. Logs remain local unless the user deliberately shares them.
