Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 July 2026

The short version

EveDeck is a desktop application that runs entirely on your own PC. It has no user accounts, no sign-up, and no analytics or telemetry of any kind. The EveDeck project operates no server that stores anything about you. Your settings, logs, and any EVE Online character data the app fetches stay on your computer.

What EveDeck stores on your computer

• Settings — your layouts, seat assignments, hotkeys, and preferences, in a settings.json file under %LOCALAPPDATA%\EveDeck.
• Application logs — a plain-text diagnostic log, also under %LOCALAPPDATA%\EveDeck, used for troubleshooting. It is never uploaded anywhere.
• EVE character access tokens — only if you choose to link a character (see below). These are encrypted with the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI) and are scoped to your Windows user account, so they cannot be read by another user or on another machine.
• Cached character portraits — images downloaded from the EVE Online image server so they do not have to be re-fetched.

You can delete all of it at any time by removing the %LOCALAPPDATA%\EveDeck folder.

What EveDeck reads on your computer

EveDeck reads the chat and game log files that the EVE Online client itself writes to your Documents\EVE\logs folder. This is how it shows which solar system a character is in and how game-event alerts work. These files are read only — EveDeck never modifies them, and their contents are never transmitted anywhere.

EveDeck reads the titles and window positions of running applications in order to place windows, and shows live thumbnail previews of your EVE clients using Windows' own DWM thumbnail feature. Previews are displayed on your screen in real time and are never recorded, saved, or transmitted.

Network connections

EveDeck connects to the following, and nothing else:

• login.eveonline.com— only when you choose to link an EVE character, using Fenris Creations' official OAuth (PKCE) sign-in flow. EveDeck never sees, handles, or stores your EVE username or password. You sign in on their own page and EveDeck receives only an access token.
• esi.evetech.net and images.evetech.net— Fenris Creations' official API and image servers, for character names, portraits, and (if you enable the info flyout) live per-character data like wallet balance, location, and skill training. This data goes directly from Fenris Creations to your PC.
• evedeck.space — a simple check for whether a newer version of EveDeck exists. The request contains no identifying information about you or your characters.
• github.com — to download an update when you choose to install one.

As with any request to any website, these connections necessarily reveal your IP address and the version of EveDeck making the request to the server being contacted. The EveDeck update endpoint keeps standard web server access logs, which are used only to keep the service running and are not combined with anything else or used to build a profile of you. Requests to Fenris Creations' servers are governed by the EVE Online privacy policy, and downloads by GitHub's.

Optional integrations

• Mumble overlay — if you install the companion Mumble plugin, it reports who is currently talking to EveDeck over a local pipe on your own machine. It never leaves your PC, and it reports names and talking state only, never audio or message contents.

What EveDeck does not do

• No accounts, sign-up, or profiles.
• No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, advertising, or tracking of any kind.
• No selling or sharing of data with anyone — there is no data collected to sell.
• No storage of EVE Online passwords. EveDeck never handles them.
• No reading of EVE Online game memory, and no injecting anything into the game client.
• No recording, saving, or uploading of screen content or previews.

Children

EveDeck is a utility for EVE Online players and is not directed at children under 13. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Because EveDeck stores everything locally and the project holds no data about you, there is no account to access, export, or delete. Removing the %LOCALAPPDATA%\EveDeckfolder, and uninstalling the app, removes everything EveDeck has stored. You can revoke EveDeck's access to an EVE character at any time from the third-party application settings in your EVE Online account management, independently of this app.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated. Material changes will also be noted in the release notes.
