Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Information We Collect

Telescopo, developed by Bad Command AI, is built to keep your documents private. The Telescopo app is built with privacy by design:

  • No document contents, file names, file paths, prompts, or personal information are collected
  • No document browsing, reading, writing, AI prompt, or export activity is sent to us
  • Anonymous diagnostic analytics may be collected through TelemetryDeck to troubleshoot app issues and errors

Anonymous Diagnostics

Telescopo may use TelemetryDeck for anonymous, privacy-focused diagnostic analytics. These diagnostics help us understand app issues, anonymized errors, and simple purchase flow behavior so we can fix problems and improve reliability.

TelemetryDeck diagnostics are not used to collect document contents, file names, file paths, prompts, personal information, or the contents of your Markdown workspace. We do not use them to identify you, track you across apps or websites, or associate your documents with any Bad Command AI account.

How Your Data is Processed

All document processing happens locally on your device. When you open a document with Telescopo:

  • Files remain on your Mac unless you choose to store or sync them with a service such as iCloud
  • No document data is uploaded to Bad Command AI servers
  • No Bad Command AI cloud processing occurs
  • Document contents are never transmitted to us

iCloud Sync

Telescopo supports native iCloud Sync for documents you choose to store in iCloud. iCloud syncing is handled by Apple through your Apple account. Bad Command AI does not operate the iCloud service, cannot access your synced documents, and does not receive analytics about your synced files.

File Access

Telescopo requires file system access to open and display your documents. This access is:

  • Controlled by macOS sandboxing
  • Limited to files you explicitly open
  • Never used to scan or index your files
  • Revocable through System Preferences

Recent Files

For convenience, Telescopo maintains a list of recently opened files. This list:

  • Is stored locally using secure bookmark references
  • Contains no file content or metadata
  • Can be cleared at any time
  • Is never transmitted off your device

Website

The telescopo.app website does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics. No personal data is collected when you visit this site.
