Rookery privacy policy

Last updated 1 November 2026

Rookery has no account and no server. Your vault is encrypted and stays on your own machine.

What leaves your device

Nothing. There's no server, and your data isn't sent anywhere.

What stays on your machine

Your vault, its backups and your settings are stored on your own computer, encrypted with a key that comes from your master password. Nobody else, including us, can read them without that password.

Using your secrets

When you copy a secret, Rookery keeps it out of clipboard history and cloud clipboard sync. When you start a program through rook run, its secrets are passed to that program only, on your machine.

Your rights

You can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how it's used. Email privacy@unkindness.dev. South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) gives you these rights, and you can complain to the Information Regulator if you think we've got something wrong.

Children

Rookery doesn't ask for anyone's age or personal details. If a child has sent us personal information through feedback or a tip, a parent or guardian can email us to have it removed.

Who is responsible

Rookery is published under the name Unkindness by Yavin Mc Pherson (Lord-Raven1 on GitHub), based in South Africa.

Changes

If what Rookery does with data changes, we'll update this page before that version is released. The date at the top shows the latest version.
