Privacy

The short version

DevTee is a private-beta measurement tool for computer work. To do that job, the Mac app captures sensitive activity data, including keystroke text by default. If you do not want DevTee to receive that information, do not install the app, pause capture, or configure stricter capture rules before you type.

We do not sell your personal information, share it with advertisers or data brokers, or use captured activity to train general-purpose AI or third-party models. If that ever changes, we will ask you to opt in before using captured activity for training. We use the data to provide DevTee, operate the service, support you, protect the system, and improve the product.

What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains how Center Pixel, Inc. ("Center Pixel", "DevTee", "we", "us") handles personal information for devtee.com, the DevTee web app, and the DevTee Mac desktop client (collectively, the "Service").

Information you provide

• Account information. We collect your email address, password hash if you sign up with email and password, user slug, timezone, account settings, waitlist or activation status, and API tokens used to pair the Mac app.
• Google sign-in information. If you continue with Google, Google sends us basic account information needed to sign you in, such as your email address, profile information, and Google account identifier. DevTee does not access the contents of your Gmail inbox.
• Team and invite information. If you create, join, or invite people to a Team, we collect information about the Team, memberships, roles, invitation email addresses, and invite status.
• Communications. If you email us or otherwise contact us, we collect what you send so we can respond and keep a record of the conversation.

What the Mac app captures

On a Mac where you install and pair DevTee, the desktop client may capture and send the following to DevTee's servers:

• Keystrokes. Key code, canonical key name (for example KeyA or Enter), modifier flags, key-down versus key-up, millisecond offset within the capture interval, keystroke count, and, in full capture mode, the literal UTF-8 text the keystroke produced. This can include text typed into editors, terminals, chat windows, search bars, and password fields.
• Active app and window. The foreground application's name and bundle identifier, plus the active window title. Window titles can contain URLs, document names, email subjects, message recipients, terminal commands, and task descriptions.
• Mouse activity. Cursor position in screen coordinates, clicks, scroll deltas, and modifier flags.
• Device, session, and heartbeat data. A stable per-machine identifier generated by the client, device name, client version, operating system version, session identifiers, timestamps, and periodic liveness heartbeats.

DevTee does not intentionally capture screenshots, screen contents, clipboard contents, files you open, microphone audio, camera video, or network traffic. It does not capture activity from machines where you have not installed and paired the client.

Capture modes and redaction

Desktop events include a capture mode. Current modes are:

• Full. Keystroke text, window titles, app context, and mouse positions are sent as captured. This is the default.
• Count only. Only per-interval keystroke counts are sent for keyboard activity. Individual keystrokes and text are dropped on the device before upload. Window titles and app context may still be sent.
• Ignore. The event is reduced before upload. Keystroke counts are zero, keystroke arrays are empty, and window titles are replaced with <redacted>.

You can scope down capture per app or per window title where the client supports those rules. Rule resolution happens on the device before upload, so redacted content is not sent to DevTee. You can also pause capture from the Mac app, and quitting the app stops capture.

Website and operational data

When you use the website or web app, we collect ordinary operational data such as IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, referrers, timestamps, session cookies, CSRF cookies, and a browser timezone cookie used to set your account timezone. We may use Google Analytics for website analytics and Sentry or similar tools for error monitoring. These tools may receive request metadata needed to provide analytics or debugging services.

How we use information

• Provide, authenticate, pair, operate, and maintain the Service.
• Build dashboards, leaderboards, team views, summaries, and other product features.
• Detect, prevent, and investigate security issues, abuse, fraud, and reliability problems.
• Respond to support requests and communicate about the Service.
• Improve DevTee using product analytics, feedback, aggregated data, and de-identified data.
• Comply with law, legal process, and enforce our agreements.

We may process captured activity with AI systems to provide features you use in DevTee, but we do not use captured activity to train general-purpose AI or third-party models. If that ever changes, we will ask you to opt in before using captured activity for training.

Who can see information

• You. You can see activity associated with your account in the product surfaces we provide.
• Teams. If you join a Team, information associated with your membership and team-visible product surfaces may be visible to Team owners, admins, and members. Do not join a Team unless you are comfortable with the Team seeing information DevTee makes visible to that Team.
• Leaderboard viewers. The leaderboard may show your user slug and aggregate daily keystroke count unless your account is hidden from the leaderboard. Contact us if you want to be hidden.
• Center Pixel personnel. We may access stored data when needed to operate the Service, provide support, investigate abuse or security issues, debug reliability problems, or comply with legal process.
• Service providers. We use vendors for hosting, storage, email delivery, authentication, analytics, error monitoring, security, and similar operational needs. They may process information for us under their contracts with us.

We may also disclose information if required by law or legal process, to protect rights, safety, and security, or as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

Storage, transfer, and retention

DevTee is operated by Center Pixel, Inc. in the United States. Your information may be processed and stored in the United States and other places where we or our service providers operate.

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the Service, maintain security and backups, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and operate our business. During private beta, export, correction, deletion, and account closure requests can be sent to us by email. We aim to remove deleted information from active systems promptly and from backups within 30 days, unless we need to keep it longer for legal, security, or abuse-prevention reasons.

Your choices

• Pause capture, quit the Mac app, or configure stricter capture rules before typing sensitive information.
• Use browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some web app features may not work without necessary cookies.
• Use unsubscribe links or contact us to opt out of non-essential emails.
• Revoke Google sign-in access from your Google account settings.
• Contact us to request access, export, correction, deletion, account closure, or leaderboard opt-out.

We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because of that, Global Privacy Control and similar opt-out signals do not change those practices. We do not otherwise respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.

Children

DevTee is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as DevTee changes. When we do, we will post the updated version here and update the date above. If a change is material, we may also notify you by email or in the Service.
