Consent Notice

By default, nothing is collected

The agent ships in on-demand mode: it only reads and serves your data while you’re looking at it, and stores nothing. You do not need to consent to anything to use it that way.

When you enable background collection, you consent to this

If you opt in to background mode, you agree that, on the computer where you run it, the agent will:

• run as a background service and, on an interval you control (default every 60 seconds), record snapshots of headline diagnostics (CPU, memory, disk, load) and recent activity;
• store those snapshots on that computer’s own disk, in your user data folder, so you can review trends over time;
• keep them only for your chosen retention window (default 14 days), pruning older data automatically.

What you are NOT consenting to

• Any transmission of your data to QuietStewardship or anyone else — there is none.
• Collection of file contents, keystrokes, screen, passwords, browsing history, microphone, camera, or location — the agent reads none of these.

See the full Agent Data-Handling & Transparency disclosure.

You stay in control

• Pause or resume collection any time from the system-tray menu.
• Open the data folder and delete stored history whenever you like.
• Switch back to on-demand mode, or uninstall the agent entirely.

Record of consent

Your consent (and its version) is recorded locally, in the agent’s own configuration on your machine— not on our servers. If this notice changes materially, the agent will ask again before continuing background collection.
