Licenses & Privacy
Heaper is designed with privacy as a core principle. Your data is yours.
Local-First Privacy
Heaper's local-first architecture means:
- Your data lives on your device first — not on someone else's server
- Offline by default — Heaper works without a network connection. Free and perpetually licensed self-hosted servers need no ongoing internet validation. A subscription server checks its license online when connected, with 30 days of offline use after every successful check.
Cloud Service (heaper.de)
If you use the hosted cloud service at heaper.de:
- Data is stored on servers in accordance with our privacy policy
- GDPR-compliant data handling
- You can export your data at any time
- You can delete your account and data
Self-Hosted Privacy
Self-hosting gives you maximum privacy:
- All data stays on your own infrastructure
- No telemetry or analytics sent to Heaper
- You control backups, encryption, and access
- Free and perpetually licensed servers have no ongoing dependency on external services
- Perpetual licenses let you use your purchased features forever, including future security and app-compatibility updates
- Subscription plans include one reassignable Pro server license while active; the server checks heaper.de daily when online and retains the unlock for 30 days after a successful check
