Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

OG TestDesk is a local desktop application. The short version: it doesn't collect, transmit, or sell any of your data, because there's nowhere for it to go — there's no OG TestDesk server, no account, no analytics, no telemetry. Everything the app does happens on your own machine, talking directly to the databases, APIs, and AI tools you configure it to talk to.

What the app stores, and where

Connection metadata (nicknames, hosts, saved queries/requests, environments) — a local SQLite file in your OS's standard app-data directory. Never uploaded anywhere.
Passwords / secrets — your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service), or an encrypted local file as a fallback if no OS keychain is available. Never stored in plain text, never included in the metadata file above.
Cookies collected by the Requests tool — kept locally, exactly like a browser's cookie jar, only replayed to the same host that set them.

Network connections the app makes

The app only connects to hosts you explicitly configure:

The databases you add as connections (Postgres/MySQL/SQLite, optionally through an SSH tunnel you configure)
The APIs/URLs you send HTTP requests to
An optional local MCP server (off by default) that only listens on 127.0.0.1 — reachable only from your own machine, not the internet, for local AI-assistant integration you explicitly enable

OG TestDesk itself never phones home. There is no update-checker, analytics beacon, or crash reporter that sends data off your machine.

Third parties

None. The app doesn't integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. Any data that leaves your machine only does so because you configured the app to talk to a specific database or API — the app is a client for services you choose, not a service itself.

Children's privacy

OG TestDesk is a developer tool with no content rating concerns and doesn't knowingly collect information from anyone, including children, since it doesn't collect information at all.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted at this same URL with a new "last updated" date.
