Everything stays on your computer. KaikuSDR has no account, sends no statistics, and makes no network connection of its own, with three exceptions you start yourself: looking for updates, downloading a speech-to-text model when you choose one, and sending a problem report.

• The page is served by the app itself, only to your own computer, and only to the window (or browser tab) the app opened: a page from anywhere else, or another program, cannot reach it.
• Your channels, names, settings and activity log are in one file, kaiku.db, in the app's folder (on a Mac, ~/Library/Application Support/KaikuSDR).
• Recordings go where you told them to go.
• Speech to text runs on your computer; what was said never leaves it.
• A problem report is written into the app's folder (Reports) when the app ends because of an error, when a receiver stops with an error, when the page breaks, or when you press Report a problem. It is sent to the developer only when you press Send, and you can read the whole text first. It carries the error, your receivers' models and settings, and the app's own log; never your name, your channels, your recordings or what was heard. It stays on your computer whether you send it or not (Reports/Sent once sent, Reports/Seen once dismissed).
