We don't collect your inventory data

CarbonInk is a local-first desktop application. All inventory data — activity data, emission factors, report contents, questionnaire answers, AI conversations — lives only in the SQLite database on your device. The cloud never receives this content. No copies, no backups.

What the cloud knows

Essentially nothing. CarbonInk is free and open-source — there's no account, no activation, and no license server. You download the app and run it; the only cloud is this marketing site plus the GitHub release you download from.

Third parties

No payments, no sign-in, no card details. This website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregate visit counts — it sets no cookies, does no cross-site tracking or fingerprinting, and records nothing that identifies you as a person. There is no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no ad tech. The desktop app itself sends no analytics at all.

Your data

Everything you enter lives in a local database on your own machine. It is never uploaded. To clear it, delete the app's data directory.
