Privacy Policy

Deckhand: File Organiser
Publisher: AuZzii-Xssistant
Effective date: 12 November 2026

Files and local processing

Deckhand accesses files and folders you select or configure in rules. Depending on your settings and rules, it may read names, paths, metadata, and file contents. Optional OCR recognises text from images or scans. Files can contain personal information. Deckhand processes this information on your device to evaluate rules, show previews, perform file actions, and record their results.

Deckhand does not require an account, send telemetry, or automatically upload your files, file contents, or activity logs to the publisher.

Local storage and your choices

Deckhand stores settings, rules, run history, logs, and recovery data in its data folder. History and logs can contain file names, paths, destinations, and error messages. Access to these files is governed by the permissions on your device. Anyone with sufficient access to the data folder can read them.

You can change which folders Deckhand processes, disable rules and OCR, review your activity in History and Log, and manage history retention in Settings. You can remove the local data folder after closing Deckhand. Backups and exports you save separately remain until you delete them.

Cloud folders and scripts

If you enable online-only downloads, Deckhand can request files through your configured sync provider, such as OneDrive. Your sync provider may also synchronise changes to files in synced folders under its own privacy policy. You can disable online-only downloads in Settings.

Commands or scripts you configure can access or transfer information according to what they do and the permissions they run with. Review scripts before enabling them. You can remove the command or script action from its rule to stop Deckhand from running it.
