Privacy Policy
Vesper Desk · Effective Date: September 26, 2026 · Last Updated: September 26, 2026
1. What We Collect
When you use Vesper, we may collect:
If You Create an Account
- Email address (for magic-link login and account recovery)
- Account creation and last-login dates
- Optional profile fields you choose to set later (for example display name), when that feature exists
When You Link Platforms
- Your user ID from each linked platform (Twitch, Kick, YouTube, etc.)
- Your username on each platform
- Connection status (linked or disconnected)
- Platform OAuth tokens (encrypted and stored server-side only; never in your browser or sent in plaintext)
From Your Usage
- Login events and IP addresses (for security), as provided by our auth and hosting providers
- Basic server logs needed to operate and diagnose the website
We do not currently run a separate product analytics or crash-reporting program in the desktop app. If we add optional analytics or crash reports later, we will update this Policy and ask for consent or provide an in-app opt-out before collecting that data.
2. What We Do NOT Collect
We explicitly do not collect or store:
Live Stream Content
- We do not download, cache, or record any video, audio, or chat from streams
- We do not store stream transcripts or VOD data
- We do not monitor what you watch as a content archive; we provide a viewing interface
- Streams are served directly from Twitch, Kick, YouTube — not through our servers as a CDN for stream media
Tokens in Your Browser
- OAuth tokens are never stored in browser localStorage, sessionStorage, or cookies for platform linking
- Tokens are encrypted and stored only on our secure backend
- Your browser never sees the platform token; only our server can decrypt and use it
Personal Files
- We do not access, scan, or store files from your computer
- We do not monitor your system processes or file system
- We do not capture your screen without your explicit consent (screen sharing, if added later, will require an explicit picker)
Sensitive Data
- We do not intentionally collect special-category data such as racial or ethnic origin, political beliefs, religious affiliation, health info, biometric data, or sexual orientation
- We do not track your activity on other websites or apps outside Vesper
Children's Data
- We do not intentionally collect data from children under 13
- See Section 6
3. How We Use Your Information

4. Data Processors & Third Parties
We use trusted service providers to run Vesper:
Vercel
Hosts the Vesper web application (vesperdesk.app) and backend API.
Supabase
Stores your account data, encrypted tokens, and related database records; provides authentication infrastructure.
Linked Platforms
When you link Twitch, Kick, YouTube, or another platform:
- That platform's privacy policy applies to their data
- We exchange authentication through their official OAuth flow
- They control what data they share with us and what they collect on their side
Email Delivery
Magic-link and transactional email may be sent through Supabase Auth and/or a transactional email provider we configure (for example Resend) for production delivery.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
How Long We Keep Data
| Data Type | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account credentials / email | Until you delete your account |
| Linked platform info | Until you disconnect or delete account |
| Encrypted tokens | Until you revoke access or disconnect |
| Login / server logs | Per provider defaults (typically up to ~90 days) |
| Support emails | About 1 year after the issue is resolved |
Deleting Your Account
Email support@vesperdesk.app from your account email and ask us to delete the account. We will remove your data from our servers within 30 days.
What Happens When You Delete
- Your account profile is permanently removed
- Linked platform info is deleted
- Encrypted tokens are securely destroyed
- Linked platforms keep their own records (contact them to request deletion there)
Data Portability
You may request a copy of your Vesper account data (account email, linked platforms list, and related profile fields we store) by emailing support@vesperdesk.app.
6. Children's Privacy
Vesper is not intended for children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 created an account, we will delete it and associated data.
