Privacy policy

Effective 15 October 2026. Applies to the Presidium Image Studio desktop app, the hivemind-imagestudio package, and this website.

In one sentence: Image Studio runs on your own computer, has no account, no analytics and no server of ours, and the only network traffic it ever makes is downloading model files you asked for and, if you turn it on, talking to your own phone on your own network.

What the app collects

Nothing is sent to Presidium or to any third party. The app keeps data only on your computer, under your user profile (%LOCALAPPDATA%\hivemind-imagestudio): your prompts and generated images, settings, a log file, calibration timings from your own renders, and, if you pair a phone, a hashed key for that device. You can delete all of it by deleting that folder; the uninstaller tells you where it is and leaves it in place so your images are not lost.

Network connections

Model and engine downloads. When you choose to install an engine or a model, the app downloads it from GitHub (stable-diffusion.cpp, llama.cpp releases) or Hugging Face (model weights). Those services see your IP address like any download. Every file is pinned by SHA-256 and listed in the source code.
Phone and remote access. Off by default. When you turn it on, the app listens on your local network for devices you have paired by scanning a QR code. Traffic stays between your devices; there is no relay server.
Nothing else. No telemetry, no crash reporting, no update checks in the background, no advertising, no accounts.

Generated images and prompts

Images are created locally and stored locally. Each PNG carries its prompt and settings in its metadata so you can reproduce it; remove the metadata before sharing if you do not want that.

Microsoft Store

If you install from the Microsoft Store, Microsoft handles the download and updates under its own privacy terms. The app itself behaves exactly as described above.

Children

The app is not directed at children and collects no personal data from anyone.

Changes and contact

Changes to this policy are made in the public repository with its history. Questions: open an issue at github.com/presidiumdev/presidium-imagestudio/issues.
