Privacy Policy

Freyja is a desktop application published by the individual developer operating under the GitHub handle @Falciighol (“we”, “us”, or “the Vendor”). This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we process when you use the Freyja desktop application (the “App”) and the related website at falciighol.github.io/freyja-releases (the “Site”), and what rights you have over that data. We have written this policy to be readable, not to be padded with boilerplate.

Short version

• The App runs entirely on your device. There is no Freyja server that stores your data.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking. The App does not phone home with usage data.
• Your plans, configs, history, and GitHub token live in a JSON file on your machine. We never see them.
• The only network calls the App makes are: (a) directly to api.github.com using your token, (b) for Pro users, a lightweight license-validity check to a Vendor-operated endpoint, and (c) auto-update checks against the public GitHub Releases page.
• If you buy a Pro license, Paddle processes the payment. Paddle is the Merchant of Record and is the data controller for billing data. We receive only your email address and a license activation record.

1. Data the App stores on your device

The App keeps its state in a local JSON file under your operating system’s user-data directory:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Freyja/
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Freyja\
• Linux: ~/.config/Freyja/

That file contains the plans and saved configurations you create, your local run history, your preferences, your GitHub Personal Access Token (“PAT”), and — for Pro users — your license key. This file never leaves your machine unless you choose to back it up, share it, or use the App’s import/export feature.

2. Data the App transmits

The App makes a small, fixed set of network requests. Each is described below.

Destination	When	What is sent
api.github.com	Whenever you list repos, list workflows, dispatch a workflow, stream logs, approve a deployment, etc.	Your PAT (as a bearer token) and the request payload you initiated. Sent directly from your device to GitHub — never proxied through us.
Freyja license endpoint (Pro only)	On Pro feature use and periodic background checks.	Your license key and a device identifier, for the sole purpose of returning whether the license is currently valid.
GitHub Releases (github.com)	Auto-update check on launch and periodically thereafter.	A standard HTTP request with your IP address and the App’s version string. No license key or PAT is included.

The App does not load remote scripts, fonts, or other third-party assets at runtime. There is no advertising network and no analytics SDK.

3. Data Paddle processes on our behalf

When you purchase a Pro license, the checkout is hosted and processed by Paddle.com Market Limited (“Paddle”), which acts as the Merchant of Record. Paddle is the controller for the personal data submitted during checkout (name, billing address, payment details, IP address, country for VAT/GST purposes, etc.) and operates under its own privacy notice. See Paddle’s Privacy Policy and Buyer Terms.

Paddle shares with us only the limited information we need to issue and support your license: your email address, your purchase date, and a transaction identifier. We use that information to email your license key, to look up your purchase if you contact us for support, and to verify or revoke licenses where appropriate (for example, after a refund).

4. The Site

The Site is a static page hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may log standard request metadata (IP address, user-agent, referrer, time of access) for security and operational purposes; see GitHub’s privacy statement. The Site does not use cookies, analytics, advertising trackers, or any other client-side telemetry. The Site loads cdn.tailwindcss.com to render styles; that request is made by your browser directly to that CDN and is governed by its operator’s privacy practices.

5. Cookies

The App is a desktop application and does not use cookies in the web-browser sense. The Site does not set any cookies.

6. Children

Freyja is a developer tool intended for professional use. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 16.

7. Data retention

We retain license-issuance records (email, license key, purchase date) for as long as your license is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to meet tax and accounting obligations and to honor refunds and reactivation requests. Paddle retains transaction records under its own retention policy. You can request deletion of your license record at any time (see Section 9); doing so will deactivate the license.

8. Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our legal bases for processing the limited data described above are:

• Performance of a contract — to issue, validate, and support your Pro license.
• Legitimate interests — to detect and prevent license-key abuse, to deliver software updates, and to provide support when you contact us.
• Legal obligation — to retain limited records for tax and accounting purposes.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights with respect to data we hold (i.e., license issuance records), open an issue on the public freyja-releases repository or contact Paddle for billing-data requests. For data stored only on your own device, you can exercise all of these rights yourself by editing or deleting the local JSON file described in Section 1.

10. International transfers

Paddle operates internationally and may transfer billing data across jurisdictions under appropriate safeguards described in its own privacy policy. The Vendor stores license-issuance records on infrastructure that may be located outside your country of residence; where required, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change this Privacy Policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes affecting existing users, give reasonable notice through the App or the Site.

12. Contact

For privacy questions or data-rights requests concerning data we hold, open an issue on the freyja-releases repository (or contact us privately at the email address listed on the @Falciighol GitHub profile, if available). For billing data held by Paddle, contact Paddle’s buyer support via paddle.net.
