DriveDeck
Privacy policy
Last updated: 27 October 2026
Summary
DriveDeck does not collect, send or share any of your data. It works entirely on your PC, has no account, no analytics and no advertising, and never connects to the internet.
The only personal information we may ever hold is what you choose to give us: your name and email if you buy a licence key directly from us, or contact us for support.
Who we are
DriveDeck is made by Panther Developments, based in the United Kingdom. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Panther Developments.
For any question about this policy or your information, email admin@pantherdevelopments.co.uk.
What DriveDeck looks at on your PC
To show your programs and games, DriveDeck reads the following on your PC. This information is only displayed to you. It never leaves your PC and is never sent to us or anyone else.
| What it reads | Why |
|---|---|
| Windows' list of installed programs | To list your programs, the same list as Settings > Apps |
| Install records from Steam, Epic Games, EA app, GOG, Battle.net, Riot and Ubisoft Connect | To list your games and find leftover game folders |
| File and folder sizes in install folders | To show how much space each program uses |
| Windows' record of when programs last ran, and Steam's last-played dates | To show "Last used" dates |
| The names of running programs | To tell when an uninstaller has finished |
| Free space on your drives | To show free space for each drive |
| Your Windows light or dark mode setting | For the "Match Windows" theme |
DriveDeck only removes programs or folders when you choose to, and asks you to confirm first.
What DriveDeck stores, and where
DriveDeck saves three small files on your PC only, in its own app data folder:
- Settings: your theme choice.
- Saved folder sizes: so it doesn't have to re-measure every folder each time you open it.
- Your licence key: if you activate DriveDeck Pro.
These files stay on your PC. Uninstalling DriveDeck removes them (in the Microsoft Store version), or you can delete the DriveDeck folder in %LOCALAPPDATA% yourself.
Purchases and licence keys
Licence keys are checked entirely on your PC; activating one sends nothing anywhere. A key contains only a licence number and its issue date, not your name or any other personal detail.
- If you get DriveDeck from the Microsoft Store, Microsoft handles any payment under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. We don't receive your payment details.
- If you buy a licence key directly from us, we keep your name, email address, licence number and purchase date. We use these only to send you your key, replace it if you lose it, and confirm a key is genuine. Payment is handled by the payment provider you use, and we don't receive your card details.
We keep licence records for as long as you might need your key replaced, and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
Support emails
If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply to you. If you include something like your "Copy version details" text, it tells us your DriveDeck version and Windows version, which helps us fix problems.
We don't add you to any mailing list, and we never sell or share your details.
This website
This website doesn't use cookies, analytics or advertising, and has no forms. Its fonts load from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers to fetch them. Our web host may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses, for security.
Children
DriveDeck doesn't collect information from anyone, including children. We don't knowingly hold personal information about children under 13; if you think we do, contact us and we'll delete it.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR), you can ask us to show you, correct or delete any personal information we hold about you, such as a licence record or a support email. Email admin@pantherdevelopments.co.uk and we'll respond within one month.
If you're unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Changes to this policy
If DriveDeck ever starts handling information differently, for example by adding an online feature, we'll update this policy before that version is released and change the "Last updated" date at the top.
