Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how darkrain collects, uses, stores, and handles information in connection with darkrain’s services, including but not limited to Nyx, Outview and its versions, including Outview Go, and related tools. In this policy, “Outview” means Outview and its versions, including Outview Go.

By using darkrain’s services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

General Privacy Summary

darkrain does not sell, rent, or trade user data.

Outview and its versions, including Outview Go, are designed as local desktop applications.

Outview does not send app data, usage data, prompts, files, messages, Google data, or telemetry to darkrain by default.

Data used inside Outview may be stored locally on the user’s own device.

If the user chooses to connect or use a third-party service, such as an AI provider, API provider, Google integration, or other external service, data may be sent to that provider as needed to perform the requested action.

Nyx may store user-provided memories to support personalized functionality.

Nyx does not intentionally store user data outside of memory-related functionality, except where temporary processing is technically necessary for the service to work.

Controller

For data protection purposes, the controller of personal data handled directly by darkrain’s services is the individual operator of darkrain, based in Hungary.

Outview local data is not collected by darkrain by default.

For local Outview data stored only on the user’s device, darkrain may not be able to access, export, correct, or delete that data.

For privacy, data deletion, access, correction, objection, or legal requests, use the contact details listed in the “Privacy Contact” section.

Information We Collect or Process

Depending on the service and features used, darkrain’s services may collect or process:

• Messages, prompts, commands, and other content you provide.
• Account identifiers, usernames, display names, or user IDs from connected platforms.
• App settings, preferences, memory, saved context, or local history.
• Optional integration data, only when you choose to enable or use an integration.
• Temporary technical information needed to operate, debug, secure, or maintain the services, where applicable.

The exact information collected or processed may vary depending on which darkrain service you use and which features you enable.

Outview Local Processing

Outview stores data locally by default.

This may include local app settings, local chat history, local memory, local files, provider settings, integration settings, authentication data, cached data, or other information needed for the app to function.

darkrain does not receive, collect, or store this local Outview data by default.

Users are responsible for managing, backing up, deleting, or protecting data stored locally on their own device.

Deleting the app, clearing app data, resetting settings, or revoking integrations may remove or disable access to local data depending on the user’s system and app configuration.

Nyx Memory

Nyx may store user-provided memories to support personalized functionality.

Nyx memories may include information that users provide directly, ask Nyx to remember, or otherwise save through supported memory features.

Nyx memories can be deleted where supported by:

• Asking Nyx to delete memories through natural language when Nyx is online.
• Using available Discord slash commands when Nyx is online.
• Requesting deletion from the darkrain service operator.

Nyx memory behavior, scope, and availability may change over time as part of development.

Third-Party AI and API Providers

Outview may allow users to choose or configure external AI and API providers.

These may include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, local models, self-hosted models, or other compatible providers selected by the user.

When a user uses a third-party provider, the data needed to complete the request may be sent to that provider.

This may include prompts, messages, files, documents, email content, calendar information, task information, search results, or other user-selected content.

Third-party providers process data according to their own terms, privacy policies, retention policies, and security practices.

darkrain does not control how third-party providers process data once the user chooses to use them.

Local models or self-hosted models may process data locally or within the user’s own configured environment, depending on the setup.

How We Use Information

Information may be used to:

• Operate and provide the services.
• Maintain context, memory, preferences, settings, or app functionality.
• Respond to user requests.
• Perform user-requested actions.
• Debug errors and improve reliability.
• Prevent abuse, misuse, spam, or security issues.
• Develop, test, and improve darkrain’s services.

User data is not sold, rented, or traded.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable, darkrain processes personal data based on one or more of the following legal bases:

• User consent, such as when a user enables optional integrations, grants Google account access, stores memories, or uses a third-party provider.
• Performance of a service, where processing is needed to provide features requested by the user.
• Legitimate interests, such as maintaining security, preventing abuse, debugging issues, protecting services, and improving reliability.
• Legal obligations, where processing or disclosure is required by applicable law.

Where processing is based on consent, users may withdraw consent at any time.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Optional Google Account Access

Some darkrain services, such as Outview, may offer optional Google account integrations.

These integrations are entirely optional and are not required for general use of darkrain’s services unless a specific feature clearly depends on them.

If you do not enable Google integration, darkrain’s services will not access your Google account data.

If enabled by the user, Outview or another darkrain service may request access to one or more of the following Google services:

• Gmail — to help read, search, summarize, draft, send, organize, or manage email, depending on the feature you use.
• Google Calendar — to help view, create, update, search, or manage calendar events.
• Google Drive — to help find, read, organize, or work with files you choose to access.
• Google Docs — to help read, create, edit, summarize, or manage documents.
• Google Sheets — to help read, create, edit, summarize, or manage spreadsheets.
• Google Tasks — to help view, create, update, complete, or manage tasks.

darkrain’s services only request Google permissions needed for the features being used.

Google account access is not required unless you choose to enable a Google-connected feature.

Use of Google User Data

Google user data is used only to provide the Google-connected features you choose to enable.

For example:

• If you connect Gmail, the service may use email content or metadata to respond to your request, summarize a thread, draft a reply, send an email, or perform an email action you initiate.
• If you connect Google Calendar, the service may use calendar data to show availability, create events, update events, or respond to calendar-related requests.
• If you connect Google Drive, Docs, or Sheets, the service may use file or document content to help find, read, summarize, create, edit, or manage items you request.
• If you connect Google Tasks, the service may use task data to help view, create, update, complete, or manage tasks you request.

Google user data is not sold, rented, traded, used for advertising, or used to train generalized AI or machine learning models by darkrain.

Google user data is not accessed unless required for a user-requested feature, a user-enabled integration, or necessary operation of the connected feature.

AI Processing of Google User Data

If a user requests an AI-powered action involving Google data, only the information needed to complete that request may be sent to the AI or API provider selected or configured by the user.

For example, if a user asks Outview to summarize an email thread, the relevant email content may be processed by the selected AI provider to generate the summary.

If a user chooses OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, a local model, a self-hosted model, or another provider, that provider may process the data according to its own terms, privacy policy, and retention practices.

Google user data is not used by darkrain to train generalized AI or machine learning models.

Google API Services User Data Policy

darkrain’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Information received from Google APIs is used only for user-facing features that the user chooses to enable.

Google user data is not used for advertising, is not sold, and is not used to train generalized AI or machine learning models by darkrain.

Storage of Google User Data

In Outview, Google-related data is stored locally by default unless the user chooses to process it through a third-party provider or integration.

Authentication tokens or related connection data may be stored locally as needed to keep an integration connected, unless the user disconnects the integration, revokes access, clears local app data, or deletes the app.

Some Google-related data may be processed temporarily to complete a user-requested action.

Where technically possible, darkrain aims to minimize long-term storage of Google user data.

Some data may still appear in local app history, local logs, memory, cache, saved settings, or other service-specific storage depending on the feature and configuration.

Human Access to Google User Data

darkrain does not allow humans to read Google user data except where necessary and permitted, such as:

• When the user has explicitly requested support involving specific messages, files, events, tasks, or other Google data.
• When necessary for security, abuse prevention, debugging, or legal compliance.
• When the data has been aggregated or anonymized for internal operations.

Human access to Google user data is limited to the minimum necessary for the relevant purpose.

Sharing of Information

darkrain does not sell, rent, or trade user data.

Data may be shared or processed only where needed to operate the services, provide a user-requested feature, comply with legal obligations, protect the services, or support user-enabled integrations.

Depending on the service and user configuration, data may be processed by:

• AI model providers selected or configured by the user.
• API providers selected or configured by the user.
• Platform providers, such as Discord or Google, when using features connected to those platforms.
• Infrastructure or service providers needed to operate darkrain’s services.
• The service operator where necessary for support, debugging, abuse prevention, security, or legal compliance.

For Outview, darkrain does not receive local app data by default.

If a user chooses to send data to a third-party provider through Outview, that transfer is initiated by the user’s configuration or request.

International Transfers

Some third-party providers, platforms, infrastructure providers, or API providers may process data outside the user’s country or outside the European Economic Area.

Where darkrain controls a transfer of personal data, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable law.

Where a user chooses or configures a third-party provider, that provider’s own terms, privacy policy, and transfer safeguards apply.

EU Representative

darkrain does not currently designate a separate EU representative because the service operator is based in the European Union.

If this changes, or if a separate EU representative becomes legally required, this Privacy Policy will be updated with the relevant contact details.

Data Retention

Data is retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the service, feature, security, or legal purpose involved.

• Outview local data may remain on the user’s device until the user deletes it, clears app data, resets settings, revokes integrations, or removes the app.
• Nyx memories may be retained until deleted by the user, removed through available commands or requests, reset as part of development, or removed for operational reasons.
• Account connection data and authentication tokens may be retained until the user disconnects the integration, revokes access, clears local data, or deletes their data.
• Temporary operational or diagnostic data, where used, may be retained for debugging, abuse prevention, and security, then deleted or anonymized when no longer needed.
• Google user data is not intentionally retained longer than needed to provide the user-requested feature, unless retention is required for security, legal compliance, or user-enabled functionality.

Data may be deleted, reset, or purged as part of testing, maintenance, user request handling, security work, or service changes.

User Control and Deletion

Users may request deletion of stored data where technically possible.

Outview users can manage local data on their own device by using available app controls, clearing app data, deleting local files, disconnecting integrations, revoking provider access, or uninstalling the app.

Nyx memories can be deleted where supported by:

• Asking Nyx to delete memories through natural language when Nyx is online.
• Using available Discord slash commands when Nyx is online.
• Requesting deletion from the darkrain service operator.

For Google integrations, users may revoke access directly through their Google Account permissions page.

Revoking access may disable connected Google features in darkrain’s services.

Deletion requests may not be fulfilled immediately and may not be possible in all cases, such as where data has already been deleted, anonymized, stored only locally on the user’s device, controlled by a third-party provider, or retained in limited form for security or legal reasons.

User Rights

Depending on applicable law, users may have the right to:

• Request access to personal data.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Request deletion of personal data.
• Request restriction of processing.
• Object to processing.
• Request data portability.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

These rights may be limited where data is stored only locally on the user’s own device, where darkrain does not have access to the data, where the data is controlled by a third-party provider, or where retention is required for security, legal, or operational reasons.

Automated Decision-Making

darkrain’s services may use AI systems to generate responses or perform user-requested actions.

darkrain’s services are not intended to make legally binding, similarly significant, or fully automated decisions about users.

Users should not rely on darkrain’s services for decisions involving health, safety, legal matters, finances, employment, housing, credit, or other high-risk areas.

Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect data handled by darkrain’s services from unauthorized access, misuse, or loss.

Outview users are responsible for the security of their own device, local files, local app data, provider keys, tokens, and configured third-party services.

No system can be guaranteed to be fully secure.

By using darkrain’s services, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

Children

darkrain’s services are not intended for children under 16.

Users under 16 must not use darkrain’s services unless they have permission from a parent or legal guardian, where such permission is allowed by applicable law.

Where consent is used as the legal basis for processing personal data, users must be old enough to provide valid consent under the laws that apply to them.

Privacy Contact

For privacy, data deletion, access, correction, objection, or legal requests, contact: hello@darkrain.tools

Users may also contact their local data protection authority if they believe their rights have been violated.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated at any time.

Continued use of darkrain’s services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Users will be notified of major changes when reasonably possible.
