Privacy Policy

Your Documents Stay on Your Machine

Vizspect^™ runs entirely on your own Windows computer. It connects to your local copy of Microsoft Visio^® and to your AI assistant’s client on the same machine. Vizspect uses a local server on that computer to connect the two. It does not upload your Visio documents, figures, or their text to Hopeful or to a Vizspect cloud service. The AI assistant you connect may send content to its own provider, as explained below.

No Account Required

Vizspect^™ does not require you to create an account with us, sign in to a Vizspect service, or give us any personal information to use the app.

What Vizspect Stores Locally

Vizspect^™ keeps a local log on your machine to help you troubleshoot the server. Each entry records the name, outcome, and duration of a tool call, never the arguments to that call and never the text or contents of your documents. These logs stay on your computer and are not transmitted anywhere.

Your AI Assistant Is Separate

Vizspect^™ works with third-party AI assistants (such as Claude or ChatGPT). When you instruct your assistant to draw or edit a figure, your conversation with that assistant is handled by that assistant’s provider under their own privacy policy and terms, not by Vizspect. Please review your assistant provider’s policy to understand how it handles the prompts and figure descriptions you send it.

No Analytics or Tracking

Vizspect^™ does not include analytics frameworks, advertising SDKs, or third-party tracking tools. We do not collect usage data, device information, or telemetry.

Children’s Privacy

Vizspect^™ is a professional tool intended for patent practitioners and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date above.
