# Privacy And Review

DesktopBeast™ v1.0 Early Access is local-first. Captures are written to local files in folders you control.

Review captures before sharing. DesktopBeast™ may preserve private/logged-in indicators, visible desktop content, window titles, file paths, OCR text, or page/app content visible at capture time.

ArchiveBeast™ Library is a local viewer for reviewing captures. BrowserBeast™ v1.0.1 Freeware captures browser/web artifacts and can also be reviewed in ArchiveBeast™ when you point the Browser shelf at the folder that contains those Markdown files. BrowserBeast does not automatically sync into ArchiveBeast yet.

Privacy signals are advisory. They are designed to help human review, not to replace careful inspection before sharing.

DesktopBeast™ creates local-first desktop evidence artifacts. You decide whether an artifact stays private, is redacted, or is shared with an AI platform.

DesktopBeast™ does not:

- upload captures
- use cloud OCR
- silently monitor the desktop
- redact sensitive content automatically
- detect every private detail

User sharing/exporting is a separate act. Cloud AI analysis is a deliberate user choice, not hidden behavior.
