Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 18, 2026
1. Introduction
This privacy policy describes how BiteBye ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our desktop application and website at bitebye.app.
2. How the App Works
BiteBye is a desktop application that detects nail-biting gestures using your computer's webcam and on-device artificial intelligence. The app runs entirely locally on your computer. No webcam images, video frames, or visual data are ever transmitted over the internet, stored on our servers, or shared with any third party.
The AI model used for detection is bundled with the application and runs locally on your device. Your webcam feed is processed in real time and immediately discarded after analysis. We never see, access, or store any images from your camera.
3. Data We Collect
3.1 Purchase data
When you purchase a license, we collect your name, email address, and payment information through our payment processor (LemonSqueezy). We do not store your credit card details. LemonSqueezy handles all payment processing in compliance with PCI-DSS standards.
3.2 License data
We store your license key and its activation status to enforce our one-device-per-license policy. This information is used solely to validate your purchase and provide support.
3.3 Leaderboard data
If you opt in to the leaderboard, we store a user-chosen username and your experience points. This data does not include your email, real name, or any other personal information. You are responsible for the username you choose.
3.4 No webcam data
To be explicit: we do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any images, video, or visual data from your webcam. All webcam processing happens locally on your device and is discarded immediately.
4. GDPR Compliance
Since nail-biting detection runs entirely on-device with no data transmission, no personal visual data is processed by our servers. The only personal data we hold is your purchase email and license status. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data at any time from our support page.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties. The only exception is LemonSqueezy, our payment processor, which receives the information necessary to process your purchase.
6. Cookies
Our website uses only essential cookies for session management. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.
7. Children's Privacy
BiteBye is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app or website constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
