1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how ApakaTech (“ATCapture”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects information when you use our desktop apps, browser extensions, website and related services (the “Service”).

2. Information we collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Account information – such as your name, email address and workspace details.
• Usage data – how you use ATCapture, features accessed, app version and basic diagnostics.
• Device & log data – IP address, browser type, OS version, language, crash logs and performance metrics.
• Billing information – limited payment and billing data when you subscribe to a paid plan (full card details are processed by our payment provider).
• Support communications – messages and attachments you send to our support channels.

3. Content you capture

ATCapture enables you to capture screenshots, record your screen and audio, annotate, and generate links or QR codes.

• Captured content – images, videos, annotations and text you create using the Service.
• Storage – depending on your settings, content may be stored locally on your device, uploaded to our servers, or sent directly to a third-party integration.
• Access – we do not access the contents of your captures unless necessary to operate the Service, troubleshoot issues, or where required by law.

Please avoid capturing highly sensitive data (such as passwords, payment details or health information) unless strictly necessary and appropriately protected.

4. Short URLs & QR codes

When you create a short URL or QR code (for example https://atcap.app/random_keys), we may log:

• The original link or capture associated with the short URL/QR code;
• Basic analytics, such as total clicks, referrer, device type and approximate location (country/city);
• Technical data like IP address, user-agent and timestamps to help detect abuse and keep the Service reliable.

5. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate and maintain ATCapture;
• Process captures, generate links/QR codes and deliver sharing and analytics features;
• Monitor performance, fix bugs and improve stability;
• Personalize your experience and remember preferences;
• Send important service-related messages (for example, security alerts or changes to these policies);
• Respond to support requests and feedback; and
• Analyze aggregated usage patterns to improve ATCapture and plan new features.

6. Legal bases

Where data protection laws require a legal basis (for example, under the GDPR), we rely on:

• Performance of a contract – to provide the Service you sign up for;
• Legitimate interests – to improve ATCapture, maintain security and prevent abuse;
• Consent – for certain optional analytics or marketing communications; and
• Legal obligations – to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

7. Cookies & similar technologies

Our website and dashboard may use cookies or similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences and understand how visitors use ATCapture. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect functionality.

8. How we share data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us operate ATCapture (hosting, analytics, email, payments). They are required to protect your data and use it only on our instructions.
• Integrations that you choose to connect (e.g., cloud storage, chat, CRMs).
• Legal authorities when required by law, court order or to protect our rights, users or the public.
• Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, where permitted by law and with appropriate safeguards.

9. Data retention

We keep your data for as long as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business or legal purposes, such as:

• Maintaining your account and capture history;
• Complying with legal, tax or accounting requirements; and
• Resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements.

You can delete captures, links or your account from within ATCapture or by contacting us. Some limited records may remain in backups for a period of time or where required by law.

10. Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls and monitoring. However, no online service is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your password safe and choosing where you store or share captures.

11. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights over your personal data, such as:

• Accessing a copy of your personal data we hold;
• Requesting correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Requesting deletion of certain data;
• Objecting to or restricting certain processing; and
• Requesting export of your data in a portable format.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@atcapture.in. We may ask for proof of identity before processing your request.

12. Children

ATCapture is not intended for children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

13. International transfers

We may process data on servers located in different countries. When we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection as required by law.

14. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the product.
