KISSIK privacy policy

Last updated: 2 November 2026

KISSIK is a camera studio that runs on your PC. It is built so that your picture, voice and files stay with you.

What stays on your PC

• Camera and microphone. Video and audio are processed on your PC (effects, backgrounds, framing, captions) and sent only where you choose: a meeting app through the KISSIK virtual camera, a file you record, or a live stream destination you set up.
• Captions and speech. Live and accurate captions are worked out on your PC with speech models stored on it. Your voice is never uploaded.
• Phone camera. Your phone connects to KISSIK directly over your local network or USB cable, protected by a private pairing code. Nothing passes through our servers.
• Settings, scenes, recordings and snapshots are saved in your Windows user folders.

What KISSIK downloads

• Speech and caption models, once, when you turn those features on (from their public open-source hosts).
• A small public list of sponsored picks and a check for new versions. These are plain downloads: KISSIK sends no account, device ID, location or usage data with them.

Sponsored picks

One small card, always labelled "Sponsored", may suggest a product that fits your setup (for example a sharper camera if yours is below 1080p). KISSIK chooses it on your PC from the public list; nothing about you is sent to us or to sponsors. Opening a pick takes you to the sponsor's website, which has its own privacy policy. Turn picks off any time in Settings and help → Show sponsored picks.

Crash reports

If KISSIK crashes, it saves a report on your PC. After the first crash it asks whether you want reports sent automatically. With your yes, each report holds only the error message and the KISSIK and Windows versions, with user names, folder names, e-mail addresses and the PC name removed. It never includes video, audio, files or settings. Reports go to the developer's crash inbox (Sentry) and are used only to fix bugs. Change your answer any time in Settings and help → Send crash reports automatically.

Remote control

"Let AI assistants and Stream Deck control KISSIK" is off by default. When on, it listens only on your own PC (127.0.0.1) and requires a secret key.

Children

KISSIK does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
