Privacy: how Overtrace handles your data
Overtrace's privacy model isn't a policy bolted on afterward — it's the architecture. Your datalogs are read and parsed by local JavaScript running in your browser.
- No upload endpoint. There is no server route that accepts your datalog files.
- Local parsing. Files are read and processed on your device, so even large logs open quickly and work offline.
- Nothing leaves your machine. The data you analyze stays with you.
Because everything is client-side, Overtrace keeps working on a spotty plant network or fully offline once the page has loaded. Licensing is tied to your account, so you can use Overtrace on the desktop, the laptop, and the field tablet.
For the formal policy, see the Privacy page linked in the footer.
FAQ
Does Overtrace upload my datalogs?
No. All parsing happens locally in your browser. There is no upload endpoint, so your files never leave your device.
Can I use Overtrace offline?
Yes. Because parsing is client-side, Overtrace keeps working on a spotty network or fully offline once the page has loaded.
