PST Rescue
Privacy policy
The short version
PST Rescue reads your Outlook data files on your own computer. Your mail, attachments, contacts and file names are never uploaded to us or anyone else. The app has no ads, no analytics and no account. The only time it goes online is to check a licence key, and to show the checkout page if you choose to buy.
What stays on your computer
- The .pst and .ost files you open. PST Rescue only reads them; it never changes them.
- The files you save or export (.eml, .mbox, PDF, attachments), written only to the folder you choose.
- Your settings: the list of recently opened files and the number of free bulk exports used.
- Temporary files in the Windows temp folder: the message page shown in the reading pane, attachments you open with another app, and the page used while making a PDF. A short error log (pstrescue.log) records failures, not mail content, and is only useful if you choose to send it to us for help. Windows can clear these with Disk Cleanup or Storage Sense.
None of this leaves your computer. PDFs are made with Microsoft Edge running locally on your PC, with remote content blocked.
Remote images and trackers
The reading pane blocks remote images and other remote content in messages, so opening an old newsletter doesn't tell its sender that you read it. Links in a message open in your default browser only when you click them.
Licence check
When you enter a licence key, and now and then afterwards to confirm it is still valid, PST Rescue sends the licence key and your computer's name to Lemon Squeezy (Lemon Squeezy LLC), which sells PST Rescue licences. The computer's name lets you see and free your seats. Nothing about your mail or your files is sent. Lemon Squeezy's handling of this data is described at lemonsqueezy.com/privacy.
Buying a licence
The checkout opens Lemon Squeezy's own page inside the app or in your browser. You type your payment details into Lemon Squeezy, not into PST Rescue; we never see your card. Lemon Squeezy sends us your name, email address and order details so we can support your purchase. We use them only for that.
This website
pstrescue.pages.dev is hosted by Cloudflare, which keeps standard server logs. The site has no analytics, no tracking scripts and no cookies of its own. A demo video, when shown, only loads from YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) after you press play; YouTube may then set cookies under its own policy.
Children
PST Rescue is a general-audience tool and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children.
Your choices
- Use PST Rescue without a licence key: then it sends nothing at all.
- Free a seat ("Free this seat") to remove this computer from your key.
- Ask us to delete your purchase details by email, subject to tax record rules.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Questions: anithabheesetty@gmail.com.
