Privacy Architecture & Data Policy

Last Updated: October 29, 2026 • Verified Offline Architecture

The Core Privacy Promise

EdgeLight was created to protect your privacy, not compromise it. EdgeLight is architected so that it is technically impossible for the software to access your camera video feed, record audio, track your screen, or transmit any analytical telemetry to remote servers.

1. How EdgeLight Detects Camera Usage

Standard camera software captures video frames using DirectShow or Media Foundation capture graphs. EdgeLight does not create any capture pin or connect to any camera hardware.

Instead, EdgeLight relies exclusively on native Windows operating system registry signals provided by the Windows Capability Access Manager:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\webcam

When an application (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, OBS, Discord, or a web browser) activates the camera, Windows OS updates this registry entry. EdgeLight receives an asynchronous system notification via the standard Win32 RegNotifyChangeKeyValue API. It simply paints a visual edge border and immediately returns to idle sleep.

2. Zero Video, Audio, or Screen Capture

No Camera Feeds: EdgeLight has zero camera reading permissions and never opens your webcam device.
No Audio Monitoring: EdgeLight does not access your microphone or record any sound.
No Screen Recording: The ambient glow is a hardware-accelerated click-through transparent border; EdgeLight does not inspect or screenshot what is displayed on your monitor.

3. Zero Telemetry & Offline Operation

EdgeLight contains no analytics SDKs (no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Sentry, no telemetry pings). The software runs 100% locally on your machine. You can inspect EdgeLight with Wireshark, Windows Resource Monitor, or GlassWire at any time to verify zero outbound network activity during regular operation.

4. Checkout & License Validation

When you purchase a license on fits.ninja, payment processing is securely managed by Razorpay (PCI-DSS Level 1 certified).
