This policy is short because INKEY RACK's design makes it short: the app has no server, makes no network connections, and collects nothing. What it does do is run instrument plugins you have installed, and write files where you tell it to — both are described below.
runFullTrust, explained below.C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 and the per-user equivalent) plus any folder you add yourself. INKEY RACK opens each plugin once, in a separate process, to check that it loads, and remembers the name, maker and category of the ones that work.MPC-Sample folder at its root, so it can offer the sampler's card as the destination. It reads nothing else from the drive.None of this leaves your machine.
INKEY RACK is a host: the instruments you play are VST3 plugins made by other companies, installed on your computer by you. When a plugin is loaded, its own code runs inside INKEY RACK. Some plugins connect to the internet on their own — typically to check a licence or activation with their maker — and some keep their own settings and logs. That behaviour belongs to the plugin and its maker, is governed by their privacy policy, and is outside INKEY RACK's control. INKEY RACK itself sends nothing, and adds nothing to what a plugin does.
Everything INKEY RACK keeps is on your own device:
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| Settings, the plugin list from your last scan, a report of plugins that would not load, and your last session | %APPDATA%\InkeyRack\ |
| Kits you save — including the plugin's own saved patch, as the plugin provides it | %APPDATA%\InkeyRack\kits\ |
| A short log of each kit export (kit name, destination folder, progress) to help diagnose a failed export | %TEMP%\inkeyrack-export.log |
When installed from the Microsoft Store, Windows may keep these under the package's private folder in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\ instead. Uninstalling the Store version removes them.
A saved kit contains whatever state the plugin chooses to save about itself. For most instruments that is the patch; INKEY RACK does not inspect it, only stores it so the kit reloads as you left it.
Export MPC Sample Kit renders sound through the loaded plugin and writes audio files and a project file to a folder you choose — by default the sampler's microSD card if one is connected, otherwise your Documents folder. These are your files: INKEY RACK writes them where you point it and does not read them back, copy them elsewhere, or send them anywhere.
The Microsoft Store lists INKEY RACK as using the runFullTrust capability. This is what a desktop program needs in order to load plugin DLLs from outside its own package, open an audio device in exclusive mode for low latency, and receive MIDI. It is not a permission to access your personal files, and INKEY RACK does not do so beyond the folders described above.
INKEY RACK does not integrate with, or send data to, any third-party service, analytics provider, or advertising network. There are no in-app purchases.
INKEY RACK is suitable for all ages and knowingly collects nothing from anyone, of any age — consistent with the no-data-collection design described above.
If INKEY RACK ever gains a feature that changes this policy, this page will be updated first and the change disclosed in the app's release notes before it ships. As of this version, no such feature exists or is planned.
