Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 13, 2026

Overview

IMBAlino is a free desktop application. We are committed to protecting your privacy. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

Data Collection

IMBAlino does not collect any data. Specifically:

• No telemetry or usage analytics
• No personal information gathering
• No cookies or tracking mechanisms
• No advertising or marketing data collection

Local Data Storage

All application data is stored exclusively on your local machine:

• Chat history is stored locally with Windows DPAPI encryption in %AppData%/IMBAlino/
• Application settings are stored in %AppData%/IMBAlino/settings.json
• Custom scripts are stored in %AppData%/IMBAlino/scripts.json
• Task definitions are stored in %AppData%/IMBAlino/tasks.json

You can delete all local data at any time by removing the %AppData%/IMBAlino/ folder.

Update Checks

IMBAlino periodically checks for updates by making an HTTPS GET request to a version manifest file hosted on Amazon S3. This request contains:

• No personal data
• No device identifiers
• No usage information

Only standard HTTP headers (such as User-Agent) are included, as with any web request.

Claude API Communication

All communication with the Claude AI service goes directly from your machine to Anthropic's servers through the Claude Code CLI. IMBAlino acts as a graphical wrapper and does not intercept, modify, store, or relay your conversations through any third-party servers.

Your interactions with Claude are governed by Anthropic's Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Services

IMBAlino does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The only external communication is:

• Update checks (as described above)
• Developer knowledge base sync — periodic download of curated articles from our S3 storage (no personal data sent)
• Claude API calls through the official CLI (handled by Anthropic)
