Guardian Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 14, 2026

Overview

Guardian is a Windows-only, local-first, read-only security visibility and posture app. It helps you understand security-related information from your Windows device through plain-language scores, findings, evidence, and suggested review steps.

Information Guardian processes

Guardian processes information available on your Windows device to perform its local checks and explain your security posture. Depending on the checks and evidence available, this information may include:

• Installed software names and startup items.
• File names and file paths.
• The status of Windows security features and settings.
• Network endpoints and outbound activity.
• Local account and sign-in posture.
• Remote-access and sharing posture.
• Windows event summaries.
• Guardian findings, scores, review decisions, reports, snapshots, and diagnostic logs.

Guardian processes this information locally to provide the app's security visibility and reporting features.

Local storage

Guardian stores scan outputs locally on your device. These outputs may include reports, snapshots, findings, review history, and logs. Guardian's current runtime output folder is:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Guardian\SecurityVisibility\Logs

Guardian does not upload scan data. Guardian does not include cloud scanning or cloud processing, and no Guardian account is required for normal use.

Data sharing and sale

Guardian does not sell personal data.

Guardian does not upload or share your reports, snapshots, findings, review history, logs, telemetry, analytics, or usage data.

You may choose to export or share a Guardian report or snapshot yourself. Guardian does not share it for you. If you choose to send a report, snapshot, log, or screenshot to another person or a support contact, that sharing is under your control.

Review reports before sharing

Guardian reports and snapshots may contain local system evidence, including software names, file paths, Windows security status, network endpoints, account posture, and event summaries. They may also reveal device names, account details, security findings, or other information about your device and activity.

Review every report, snapshot, log, and screenshot carefully before sharing it. Remove or obscure information you do not want others to see, share only the minimum information needed, and use a private channel. Do not post sensitive Guardian output publicly.

Read-only operation and user control

Guardian is read-only. It does not silently change Windows settings. It does not remove malware, block threats, or provide automatic remediation. Guardian presents evidence and suggested review steps so that you remain in control of any action you choose to take.

You may delete local Guardian output files from your device when you no longer want to keep them. Deleting those files may remove report history or other locally saved Guardian information.

Security limitations

Guardian's checks, scores, findings, and review states provide visibility into the local evidence Guardian examined. They cannot identify every security issue, prove that a device is compromised, or guarantee that a device is safe.

If you believe your device is actively compromised or your information is at risk, use the protections available through Windows and seek help from a qualified IT or security professional as appropriate.
