Privacy and data

What stays on your PC, and when the app uses the internet.

What stays on your PC

  • No account, no sign-in, no telemetry. Actify Studio does not send your tests, recordings or usage data anywhere.
  • Your files stay on your PC, in C:\Users\<you>\Actify-Studio: projects, tests, Page Objects, flows, reports and videos. Back them up like any other folder.
  • App preferences (settings, favorites, custom headers, unsaved draft) are stored locally by the app.
  • Secrets are encrypted with Windows data protection and kept in the app’s data, outside your projects: they never end up in test files or exports.
  • Runner screenshots are temporary: deleted at the next run, when the app closes, or with Clear.
  • The built-in browser keeps cookies and logins between sessions, like a normal browser. Clear browsing data removes them.
  • Uninstalling the app from Windows does not delete the Actify-Studio folder in your user folder; delete it manually if you no longer need your tests.

Recorded values are plain text

Anything you type while recording appears in the steps, generated code, reports and videos. Move passwords into secrets with Save as secret, and use test accounts and test data.

When the app uses the network

  • Internet access is used only for: the sites you open in the built-in browser; the one-time test runner setup (downloads Playwright and its browser); the Download Node.js button, which opens nodejs.org in your default browser; and the Docs link in the welcome guide, which opens this documentation in your default browser.
  • Local-only connection: the app’s browser accepts automation connections (used by In-App runs) only from your own computer (127.0.0.1), never from the network.

The full Privacy Policy covers both the app and this website.
