Privacy Policy

Last updated 14 November 2026

Bisqit is a little dog on your screen that closes the tabs you drift off to. To do that, it has to look at what's in front of you. This page explains what it looks at, what leaves your computer, and who sees it.

Bisqit ("we") is responsible for your information. You can reach us at ask@dawnce.app.

What Bisqit reads on your computer

While it's running, every few seconds, Bisqit reads:

• the name of the app in front of you and its window title
• in a browser, the current tab's address and title, including in private or incognito windows
• where that tab's close button is, so the paw can hit it
• when you last used the keyboard or mouse: only the time, never which keys you pressed

On a Mac, this uses the Accessibility and Automation permissions you grant in System Settings. On Windows, it uses UI Automation, which doesn't ask for a permission.

What stays on your computer

Your settings, your name and your other answers from onboarding, your list of drift sites, your schedule, your daily numbers, your "not a drift" corrections, your licence key, your dog's photo and pictures if you make your own dog, and a random ID for this install. They're ordinary files, protected by your computer account. We can't see them, except for the parts listed below that Bisqit sends.

What leaves your computer

To judge a page

When something isn't on the built-in list or your own drift list and has stayed in front of you for a few seconds, Bisqit sends:

• the app's name
• the page's address, without anything after "?"
• the page or window title, cut to 140 characters
• the line you wrote about what you do, and the time sinks you picked
• the last few things it judged, up to six, with the time and the verdict

This covers every app, not just browsers, and private or incognito windows too. Titles can hold personal details, like the subject of an email or the name of a document. Bisqit shortens them but can't filter them. It never sends a page's content.

Our server checks your licence key and install ID, then passes the text on without them or your IP address. It goes to OpenRouter, which passes it to an AI model, currently Google's Gemini. The answer is "focus", "neutral" or "drift", plus a few words of reasoning. Our server doesn't store the request or the answer. Bisqit remembers each answer on your computer for 6 hours, so the same page isn't sent again in that time.

This only happens while your subscription or trial is active. It carries on while Bisqit is paused or outside your schedule: those stop the dog from closing anything, but not the judging. Quit Bisqit to stop it.

To make your own dog

This only happens if you choose to use your own dog. Choosing one of our dogs sends nothing. Anything else in your photo, like a person or your home, goes along with it, so pick one that shows just your dog if you can.

The first picture, before you pay. Bisqit sends the photo you picked and your install ID. Our server asks OpenRouter and an AI model, currently Google's Gemini, whether there's a dog in it, then sends it to fal, which makes the first picture of your dog. Our server doesn't keep the photo. For a day it keeps your install ID with the addresses of the pictures fal made, and for a week the address of the first picture, so checkout can show your dog. It counts your tries against your install ID and IP address.

Building your dog on a phone. On a phone, our site can build your dog before you have Bisqit. Your browser sends the photo you picked to our server, which checks it for a dog the same way and has fal make the first picture. The photo goes on fal's storage too, so your computer can fetch it later. For 30 days our server keeps your dog under a six-character code: the addresses of the photo and pictures, and what you told us about your dog (its name, boy or girl, its age and what it's like). If you type in your email address, we send one email through Resend with a link to your dog's page, and don't keep your address: our server keeps only a scrambled form of it for a day, to limit how often it can be sent. When you open that page on a computer, our server keeps that computer's IP address with your dog's code for a week, so Bisqit on that computer can find your dog without the code. When Bisqit brings your dog over, it sends your install ID, and our server keeps it with the first picture's address for a week, so checkout can show your dog. Your tries are counted against your IP address.

The rest of your dog, after you subscribe. Bisqit sends the photo again, the first picture, your dog's name, your licence key and your install ID. Our server puts the photo and the picture on fal's storage. Our worker, which runs on Railway, fetches them, has fal make the other pictures and clips, and puts the finished dog on fal's storage, where Bisqit downloads it. The worker deletes its own copy once your dog is finished. If it can't finish, it keeps the copy so we can try again.

To check your licence

Bisqit sends your licence key and install ID to our server, to confirm your subscription and to keep a key to 5 computers. The server keeps the key, the subscription's ID and status, and the install IDs using that key.

To count how the app is used

Bisqit sends the name of an event and your install ID, for example that the app opened, that you reached a screen in onboarding, that you picked a plan or that the dog closed a tab. Events never say which site or tab. The server keeps totals per day, and counts unique installs in a form that doesn't let us read the IDs back. For the app opening, onboarding, the paywall, picking a plan and unlocking, it also counts installs per country, the one Vercel works out from your IP address. It doesn't keep the address.

When you buy

The prices Bisqit shows depend on the country Vercel works out from your IP address: people in many countries, such as India, Brazil, Türkiye and much of Africa, see lower prices. Checkout happens on Stripe, which is the seller of record and handles payment, tax, receipts and refunds. Stripe collects your email address, payment details and billing details under its own privacy policy. Your install ID goes along with the checkout, so your key finds its way back to your computer. So does the dog you chose: its name, and its picture, which for your own dog is the first picture fal made of it. Stripe shows them on the checkout page and keeps them with the purchase. Our server receives the subscription's ID and status. We can see your subscription and email address in our Stripe account, but we don't copy them to our server.

On bisqit.app

• We set no cookies of our own.
• Vercel Web Analytics counts page views and where visitors came from, without cookies.
• The site's font loads from Google, so Google sees your IP address when you visit.
• The demo page plays our video from YouTube, in its privacy-enhanced mode. Opening that page connects your browser to YouTube, which is owned by Google, sees your IP address and may store data in your browser under Google's privacy policy.
• The page you land on after checkout keeps your checkout's ID in that browser tab, to fetch your licence key.
• On a phone, you can type in your email address to get the download link for your computer (or the link to the dog you built, as above). We send that one email through Resend and don't keep your address: our server keeps only a scrambled form of it for a day, so the same address can't be sent the link over and over, and counts your IP address's requests for a day for the same reason. Resend keeps a record of the email under its own policy.

• Microsoft handles the install and updates if you get Bisqit from the Microsoft Store. Privacy statement

Most of these companies are based in the United States, so your information may be processed outside your country and outside the EEA. Their policies explain how they protect it when that happens. We don't share your information with anyone else unless the law requires it.

Why we use it

• Judging pages, checking licences, making your own dog, emailing the link you asked for and handling subscriptions are needed to give you the service you signed up for.
• Usage counts and site analytics are in our legitimate interest: they show us where people get stuck, so we can improve Bisqit, and they don't say who you are or what you browse.

How long we keep it

• Text sent for judging: not stored on our server. Our server holds your IP address in memory for a short time, to limit requests.
• Licence records: they don't expire by themselves. Ask us and we'll delete yours. The link between a checkout and your key lasts a day for the app and a week for the page you land on after checkout.
• Your own dog: our record of it, with your dog's name and the addresses of its photo, pictures and finished dog, stays with your licence record, and you can ask us to delete it. The files on fal's storage are kept under fal's own policy, and we don't set how long that is.
• A dog built on a phone: our record of it for 30 days, and the IP address of the computer that opened its page for a week. Its photo and pictures on fal's storage are kept under fal's own policy.
• Usage counts: daily totals for 400 days and daily unique counts for 120 days. All-time unique counts are kept, but can't be traced back to an install.
• Payment records: Stripe keeps these as its policy and the law require.

Your choices

• Quit Bisqit. Nothing is read or sent while it isn't running. Turn off Open at Login in its menu to keep it from starting by itself.
• Clear "What do you do?" in Bisqit's Settings, so that line stops being sent.
• Cancel your subscription from Bisqit's menu.
• Uninstall it. To remove your settings from a Mac as well, run defaults delete app.bisqit.mac. With the Windows installer, delete the folder %APPDATA%\Bisqit. A Microsoft Store install removes them for you.

There isn't yet a separate switch to turn off the AI judging or the usage counts.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or delete it, ask us to limit how we use it, and object to how we use it. Email ask@dawnce.app and include your licence key, since that's how we find your records. Usage counts can't be traced to you, so we can't look them up or remove them.

You can also complain to your local data protection authority. In Norway, that's Datatilsynet.

Security

Everything Bisqit sends to our server goes over HTTPS. The keys for the AI model and for payments are only on our server, never in the app. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we hold to the minimum described here.

Children

Bisqit isn't meant for children under 13. If you think a child has given us information, tell us and we'll delete it.

Changes

When Bisqit changes what it does with your information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
