Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 6, 2026
Overview
PulseDev is a desktop application that connects to cloud AI providers (Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini) to power code fixes. Your privacy is fundamental to how we build our product. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Data We Collect
Code Snippets Sent to AI
When you use PulseDev's AI features, only the specific code snippet relevant to your request is sent to the AI provider (Anthropic's Claude API). We do not send your entire codebase, repository, or any files you haven't explicitly selected.
Account Information
When you purchase a license, we collect your email address and payment information through our payment processor (Stripe). We do not store credit card details directly.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email. We do not share your email with third parties.
No Telemetry
PulseDev does not collect telemetry, usage analytics, crash reports, or any background data. The app does not phone home.
Website Analytics
Our marketing website uses cookieless, privacy-friendly analytics. No cookies are set, no personal data is collected, and no cross-site tracking occurs. We collect only aggregate page-view counts and referrer data to understand how visitors find us.
Data We Do NOT Collect
- Your source code or repository contents (beyond the snippet you explicitly send)
- Browsing history or websites you visit
- File system contents or directory structures
- System information or device fingerprints
- Usage patterns or feature analytics
Data Storage
PulseDev does not store your code or project data on our servers. Project settings and session history are stored on your device. If you uninstall PulseDev, all local data is removed.
Data Retention
Account emails and license records are retained for as long as your account is active. Newsletter emails are retained until you unsubscribe. We do not retain AI request data — code snippets are processed by the third-party provider and not stored by PulseDev.

Data Privacy
PulseDev sends only the specific code snippet relevant to your request to your configured cloud AI provider (Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini). Your full codebase is never transmitted.
Your Rights
You can request deletion of your account and associated email by contacting us at [email protected]. Since we store no usage data, there is nothing else to delete.
International Privacy Rights
European Users (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, rectify, port, or delete your personal data. Our lawful basis for processing is contractual necessity (license fulfillment) and legitimate interest (newsletter, analytics). The data controller is Perlat Kociaj, based in the United Kingdom. To exercise your rights, email [email protected].

California residents may request disclosure of the categories of personal information we collect and request deletion. We do not sell personal information. Contact [email protected] to make a request.
