Privacy & Data Protection
Your models. Your data. Your control.
At OrthoDiagrams, we believe that database design tools should respect the privacy and independence of their users.
Privacy is a fundamental design principle of OrthoDiagrams. Our goal is to provide a powerful, transparent, and trustworthy modeling environment where users maintain control over their projects and information.
Privacy by Design
OrthoDiagrams is built around a simple philosophy: your data belongs to you.
Our approach emphasizes:
- Local-first operation: Work directly on your computer without relying on cloud services.
- No application telemetry: No background collection of usage statistics or behavioral analytics.
- No application tracking: Your modeling activities are not monitored or profiled.
- Data ownership: You retain control over your models, diagrams, and exported files.
- Transparency: Privacy-related functionality and data handling practices should be clear and understandable.
Your Data Stays Yours
OrthoDiagrams is designed to keep your database models and diagrams under your control.
Projects can be saved locally using an open, JSON-based format, allowing you to manage, back up, version, and exchange your files independently.
OrthoDiagrams does not require you to upload your models to external servers to perform its core modeling functions.
Your database structures, relationships, attributes, and diagrams remain within the storage environment you choose.
Local Processing & Offline Operation
OrthoDiagrams is a native desktop application designed for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Core modeling operations are performed locally, including creating, editing, organizing, and exporting diagrams.
The application is designed to function without a continuous internet connection.
This approach reduces dependence on external infrastructure and helps users maintain greater control over their information.
No Telemetry. No Tracking.
OrthoDiagrams is designed without built-in behavioral tracking or application telemetry.
We do not use the desktop application’s core modeling features to collect information about your working habits, project contents, or diagram structures.
We believe that professional software should provide useful functionality without requiring users to surrender information about how they work.
Data Storage & Security
OrthoDiagrams stores project information in files managed by the user.
The application supports portable project files and document exports, including JSON, PDF, and SVG.
You decide where to store your files, how to back them up, and with whom to share them.
While OrthoDiagrams is developed with security and privacy in mind, users remain responsible for protecting their own devices, files, backups, and operating environments.
