Downloads Detective 1.0.0 - Privacy
====================================

Downloads Detective is a local Windows desktop utility.

Local data it may store
-----------------------
- settings.json: app preferences.
- hash-index-v1.json: optional local metadata/fingerprint/hash cache for fast rescans.
- ignored-findings.json: findings you chose to ignore.
- activity-history.jsonl: local filesystem action history.
- browser-domain-rules.json: optional Browser Companion website + filename rules.
- browser transaction metadata: temporary rollback coordination for in-progress browser replacements.

Browser Companion
-----------------
The optional Chrome/Edge extension communicates only with the bundled local native host. It may send the local host the download URL/domain, intended filename, local download path, download ID and completion/interruption status needed to apply your rule. These values are not uploaded to Friction Tamer.

The native host can temporarily stage a previous local file for rollback while a browser writes the clean replacement. Successful previous versions go to Windows Recycle Bin; interrupted replacements attempt to restore the previous file.

Network / account
-----------------
Downloads Detective itself does not require a Friction Tamer account or cloud service in v1.0.0. The Browser Companion does not send download information to Friction Tamer.

Demo / tutorial
---------------
Demo data is isolated under Downloads Detective local app data. Tutorial-visible paths are rewritten to C:\Demo\Downloads / C:\Users\Demo. Tutorial capture renders application windows, not the Windows desktop.
