The short version
365 IT Guard watches your PC's health and security so you can fix problems early. To do that it collects your account details and a summary of how each enrolled device is running. It does not collect what you do on the device.
We collect: your email and name, your device's name and hardware, performance numbers, the names of running programs, and your security settings.
We never collect: file contents, keystrokes, screenshots, clipboard, browsing history, passwords, or the websites and IP addresses your PC connects to. Those last two are checked on your device and never uploaded.
We never: sell your data, use it for advertising, or let our AI provider train models on it.
You can: see, export, or delete your data at any time. Email privacy@365itguard.com.
If your employer or a parent manages your device, they can see that device's health summary. See Who can see your data.
Who we are and what this covers
365 IT Guard is made by Zenlo Innovations & Technology LLC ("Zenlo", "we", "us"), based in Utah, USA. This policy covers:
- the 365 IT Guard desktop app for Windows and its background monitoring service
- the AI Assistant inside the app
- the sign-in page at login.365itguard.com and the admin portal at admin.365itguard.com
- our website and emails
- our pages on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube
Zenlo's own website, zenloit.com, and the internal software Zenlo uses to publish to our social media pages are covered by Zenlo's privacy policy.
Our role. For Family accounts and for your own account details, we decide how data is used (we are the "controller"). For devices on a Business account, your employer decides what to monitor and we process that data on their instructions (we are a "processor" or "service provider"). Our Data Processing Agreement applies to every Business account.
Questions go to privacy@365itguard.com. We reply within 30 days.
Personal information we collect
In short: this is the complete list of personal information (PII) we store about you. If it isn't in this table, we don't keep it.
"Personal information" means anything that identifies you or could reasonably be linked to you. Some items below, like a device name, don't look personal but often are (a PC called "SARAH-LAPTOP").

| Phone number | +1 555 0100 | You, when you set up two-step sign-in, which every account needs | To send two-step sign-in codes, and nothing else. Your number is stored by our sign-in provider, Google Firebase, not in our own database. Our staff don't view it except to help you with a sign-in problem | Until you delete your account |
| Password | — | You | Sign-in. Stored only as a one-way hash by Google Firebase. We never see it | Until you delete your account |

| Analytics ID | the random ID in the Google Analytics cookie of the browser you signed in with | Your browser, when you sign in to the desktop app or create an organization | Counting sign-ups and purchases that started on our website (see Cookies) | Until you delete your account or the organization is deleted |
| People you invite | their email address | You, when you invite someone to your organization | Sending the invitation. We don't keep the address afterwards | Not kept |
| Terms acceptance record | version, time, IP address, browser type, and whether you agreed to be contacted about feedback | Our servers, when you accept our terms | Proof that you agreed | 6 years after your account is deleted, as a legal record |
| Feedback you send | your message, and whether we may reply. If you aren't signed in, the email you give for the reply | You | Improving the product, replying if you ask us to | 2 years |

| What | Where it comes from | Why we need it | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card and billing address | You, entered directly with Stripe | Payment. We never see or store your card number | Held by Stripe under its privacy policy |
| Stripe customer and subscription IDs, plan, renewal date | Stripe | Knowing what you paid for | Until the organization is deleted, then as tax law requires |
Each enrolled device
| What | Example | Why we need it | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device name | SARAH-LAPTOP | So you can tell your devices apart | Until the device or organization is deleted |
| Device fingerprint | a one-way hash of Windows' machine ID | Recognize the same PC after a reinstall | Until the device or organization is deleted |
| Owner | which account the device belongs to | Show the device to the right people | Until the device is reassigned or deleted |
| Health and security summary | see the next section | The service itself | Detailed history up to 30 days; latest snapshot while the device is enrolled |
What we do not collect
- Your date of birth, home address, government ID, or photo
- Precise location. We don't use GPS or look up where you are
- Biometrics. Voice dictation runs on your PC and the audio never leaves it
- Contacts, messages, emails, or documents on your PC
- MAC addresses or hardware serial numbers (read on your PC to show you, never uploaded)
Our website
If you contact us through a form on 365itguard.com ("Talk to us" or a feature request):
| What | Example | Why we need it | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name and email | Sarah Lee, sarah@example.com | To reply to you | 2 years |
| Your message | the subject or feature, and what you wrote about your setup | To answer it | 2 years |
| How you found us | the site that referred you, the page you landed on, campaign tags such as utm_source, the ad click ID if you came from a Google, Meta or Microsoft ad, and the pages you viewed before sending |
To learn which posts and ads bring people to us | 2 years |
Submissions are stored in our website's database and emailed to our team. To have yours deleted, email privacy@365itguard.com. The site has no mailing list, and we don't send marketing email.
Like any website, ours also handles your IP address and browser details when you visit, to serve pages and block attacks (see Service providers).
Our social media pages
365 IT Guard has pages on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. If you follow one, comment on a post, or send us a message there, the platform shows us your public profile name and picture and what you wrote. We use that only to reply to you and to learn what people ask about. We don't copy it into our own systems or link it to a 365 IT Guard account unless you ask us to, for example by emailing support.
The platforms also give us totals, such as views, followers and clicks, which don't identify anyone. Links in our posts carry campaign tags so we can tell which posts bring people to our website (see Our website).
Each platform handles your information under its own policy: Meta for Facebook and Instagram, and Google for YouTube. To remove a comment or message you sent us, delete it on the platform, or email privacy@365itguard.com and we'll remove our copy of any reply thread we've saved.
Sensitive information
We don't ask for sensitive personal information (health, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, precise location, or government IDs). Your password is the only credential we handle, and Google Firebase stores it as a hash. If you type sensitive details into the AI Assistant, they go to our AI provider to answer you and are not stored by us (see AI Assistant).
What the app reads on your device
In short: the app reads a lot locally so it can diagnose problems, but it uploads only a health summary, about once a minute while your PC is on.
Uploaded to our servers
| Category | What's included | What's left out |
|---|---|---|
| System | Windows version, CPU model, memory, disk sizes and free space, uptime, app version | — |
| Performance | CPU and memory use, number of running programs, temporary file size, startup item count | — |
| Running programs | Program names (like chrome.exe) and process IDs, with their CPU and memory use, and a short history of the busiest ones | File paths, command lines, window titles, and which Windows user ran them |
| Network activity | For each program, how many connections it has and to how many distinct hosts | The actual IP addresses, websites, and countries |
| Security | Antivirus and firewall product names and whether they're on and up to date, including each Windows Firewall profile; the name, severity, status and detection time of threats Microsoft Defender found | File paths of detected threats |
| Unusual activity | When a reading moves well away from your PC's normal pattern, such as a disk filling fast or a program's memory growing: what was measured, the program name if one is involved, the expected and actual values, and when it started and ended | File paths |
Program names can reveal which apps you use. We store them only to spot slowdowns and risky software, and only you and your account admins can see them.
Checked on your PC and never uploaded
- Network connections, including remote IP addresses and websites. The app also works out which country each connection goes to, using a database built into the app, so no lookup service is contacted. Countries leave your PC only when you ask the AI Assistant about your network (see AI Assistant)
- Hardware serial numbers, MAC addresses, and driver details
- Disk health readings and hardware error logs from Windows
- Folder and file names and sizes, when you run a storage scan (never file contents)
- Voice dictation, which uses Windows' offline speech engine
Stored on your PC
The app keeps these in your Windows profile:
- an encrypted device credential and your settings
- a log file (up to about 10 MB)
- crash reports, which are never sent anywhere
- a history of your PC's readings, for the charts and to learn what's normal: every minute for 48 hours, hourly for 90 days, per-program readings for 7 days, and unusual activity for 90 days
- the results of your last storage scan on each drive, including folder and file names
Uninstalling removes these, and asks whether to remove the device credential too.
Reports. Each week the app saves a PDF report of the past 7 days to Documents\365 IT Guard\Reports and keeps the newest 12. A report you make yourself goes where you save it. Reports include program names, security status, and the folder and file names from your last storage scan. They never leave your PC unless you share them, and uninstalling doesn't remove them.
Other connections the app makes
- Update checks to downloads.365itguard.com
- A network speed check: a small ping to Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 every 10 seconds, to measure your connection's latency. It carries no personal data, but Cloudflare sees your IP address
- Microsoft, when the app lists your installed apps with Windows' winget tool, or runs a Defender update you approved
- YouTube, in your browser, only when you click a help video
Turning it off
Monitoring runs while the app is enrolled. To stop it, remove the device from your account or uninstall the app. You can also stop the app from starting with Windows in Settings.
AI Assistant
In short: The AI Assistant is software, not a person. When you ask it something, your question and a relevant slice of your device's health data go to OpenAI to write the answer. We don't keep your conversation.
What is sent to OpenAI with each question:
- your message and up to 8 earlier messages of the conversation, with earlier answers shortened
- device data relevant to the question, for example: Windows version and hardware; CPU, memory and disk use; busy programs (names and resource use); startup programs; installed apps (names and versions); storage sizes such as the Recycle Bin and browser cache; battery level; programs that crashed or stopped responding in the past week; unusual activity the app detected; antivirus, firewall, and threat names; network speed; and, for network questions, how many connections each program has, how risky the app judged them, and which countries they go to
- the language you want the answer in
- the results of any fix you asked the AI Assistant to run, including what it acted on (for example, a program name)
Kept back. Before a question leaves your PC, the app replaces your Windows username, your device name, and the user name in any file path with placeholders. Email addresses, phone numbers, public IP addresses, card numbers, MAC addresses, product keys and similar items you type are replaced too, and the chat shows you what was removed. Your account name and email, command lines, and the IP addresses and websites your PC connects to are never sent. The app doesn't catch people's names or website addresses you type yourself, so leave out anything you don't want sent.
Storage. The conversation lives only in the app and is cleared when you close it or start a new chat. On our servers we keep, for 12 months, a usage record (time, which AI model, how much text it processed, whether it worked, and how many items of each kind were kept back, never the items themselves), your thumbs-up or thumbs-down rating with the reason you picked for a thumbs-down, and a log of any fix the AI Assistant ran and its result. These records are tied to your account, or to the device and organization when no one is signed in. Account admins can't see them or your conversation.
PCs with no one signed in. On a PC enrolled to an organization without a user, whoever is at the PC can use the AI Assistant. Requests go out on the device's own credential. It's on by default for new organizations, and an organization admin can turn it off in the admin portal.
OpenAI. OpenAI processes the request under its API business terms, does not use API data to train its models, and keeps it for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring before deleting it. We don't let OpenAI store our requests in its logs. Data is processed in the United States.
Fixes need your approval. The AI Assistant can suggest actions like ending a frozen program or running a Defender scan. Nothing runs until you confirm it.
Answers can be wrong. Check important advice before acting on it. The AI Assistant doesn't make decisions about you with legal or similar effects.
Children's devices. The AI Assistant is designed for adults. On a Family plan, the parent decides who uses each PC. Please don't let a child under 13 use the AI Assistant. If you believe a child has, email privacy@365itguard.com and we'll help.

We don't use your data for advertising, sell it, or build profiles about you. If we ever want to use your data in a new way, such as training AI models, we will ask first and not apply it to data we already hold.
Who can see your data
In short: you, your account admins, a few of our staff when needed, and the service providers listed below. We don't sell it to anyone.
People in your organization
| Who | What they can see |
|---|---|
| You | Your own device's full details in the app |
| Admins of your Family or Business account | For every device in the account: device name, owner's email, drives, health and security summary including firewall and antivirus details, 7 days of performance charts, running program names, connection counts, threat names, and detected issues |
| Admins cannot see | Your AI Assistant conversations and its records of your requests and fixes, file names, the websites or IP addresses your PC connects to, or anything on the "never uploaded" list |
If you're a Business admin or a Family admin monitoring someone else's device, you're responsible for telling that person and having the right to monitor it.
Our staff
A small number of authorized Zenlo staff can access account and device data to give support, investigate security issues, or meet legal obligations. Administrative changes are logged.
Service providers
These companies process data for us under contracts that limit them to providing their service:

Other disclosures
We share data if the law requires it, to protect people from harm, or as part of a merger or sale of the company (the buyer would be bound by this policy). We'll tell you when the law allows.
How long we keep it
In short: detailed device history for 30 days, account data until you delete your account, and a few legal records longer.
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Device health history (minute-by-minute) | Up to 30 days |
| Unusual activity reported by a device | 90 days after the activity ends |
| Latest device snapshot | While the device is enrolled |
| AI Assistant usage records, ratings, and fix log | 12 months |
| Server logs (including IP addresses) | 90 days |
| Automated database backups | 7 days, rolling |
| Account details | Until you delete your account |
| Devices and organization records | Until the device or organization is deleted |
| Feedback | 2 years |
| Terms acceptance records | 6 years after account deletion |
| Billing and tax records | As long as tax law requires (usually 7 years) |
Deleting your account. Go to Settings in the admin portal and choose Delete account. You have 30 days to change your mind, then we erase your account and sign-in details. If you are the only admin of an organization, you'll need to hand admin over or delete the organization first. Devices you owned are removed from your account. Their records, which include the device name, stay with the organization and are deleted when the organization is deleted.
Deleting an organization. An admin can archive the organization on the Subscription page after cancelling its subscription (a trial can be archived right away). You have 30 days to change your mind. After that we erase its devices, device history, and feedback, and cancel any subscription still running.
Backups roll off within 7 days of deletion.
Security
In short: we collect less so there's less to protect, and we protect what we keep.
- All traffic between the app, the admin portal, and our servers is encrypted with TLS.
- Each device gets its own credential, encrypted on the PC with Windows data protection and stored on our side only as a hash.
- Passwords are handled by Google Firebase and never reach our servers. Every account must set up two-step sign-in.
- Our database is encrypted at rest and not reachable from the internet. Secrets are kept in a managed vault.
- Staff access is limited to the people who need it.
- Every app release is code-signed, so Windows can verify it came from us.
- The app's background service listens only on your own PC, not the network.
No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your personal information, we'll notify you and the relevant regulators as the law requires. Report security issues to security@365itguard.com.
Your rights and choices
In short: wherever you live, you can see, correct, export, or delete your data. Email us and we'll respond within 30 days.
We give these rights to everyone, not only people in places where the law requires them:
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | Get a copy of the personal information we hold about you |
| Correction | Fix anything that is wrong or out of date |
| Deletion | Have your account and its data erased |
| Portability | Receive your data in a machine-readable format |
| Objection and restriction | Ask us to stop or limit certain uses, such as product emails |
| Withdraw consent | Turn off anything you opted into, at any time, without affecting what came before |
| Appeal | If we decline a request, ask us to reconsider. We'll explain the outcome and how to complain to a regulator |
How to make a request. Email privacy@365itguard.com. You can also delete your account yourself in the admin portal's Settings. We may ask you to confirm you own the account before we act. You can use an authorized agent. We won't charge you or treat you differently for using these rights.
If you're not satisfied. You can complain to your state attorney general or your local data protection authority.
US state residents (including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and Oregon). We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not use it for targeted advertising or for profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We use sensitive information only to provide the service you asked for.
Monitored devices on a Business account. If your employer installed 365 IT Guard, your employer controls that data. Send requests to them first. We'll help them respond.
Children
Accounts are for adults (18+). On a Family plan, a parent or guardian can install 365 IT Guard on a child's PC and enroll the device without giving the child an account. Device data from that PC is collected at the parent's direction and is visible to the parent. We don't knowingly create accounts for children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA and UK). If we learn we have, we delete the account. Parents can ask us to review or delete a child's device data at privacy@365itguard.com.
Employees on Business accounts
If your employer installed 365 IT Guard, your employer controls the data from that device, and their privacy notice applies. We process it on their behalf under our Data Processing Agreement. Employers must tell employees about the monitoring and have a lawful basis for it.
Where your data is processed
365 IT Guard is offered to customers in the United States. We and our service providers store and process data in the US. If you use the service from another country, your data is transferred to and processed in the US.
Cookies and similar technology
The desktop app, the admin portal, and this page load no analytics or tracking scripts. The admin portal does read the Google Analytics ID our website set, so a sign-up made there can be counted (see Service providers). Our other web pages use:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sign-in session (Firebase) | Browser storage | Keeps you signed in | Until you sign out |
| Preferences (language, theme, terms accepted) | Browser storage | Remembers your settings | Until cleared |
_ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics) |
Cookie | Counts visits and sign-ups | 2 years |
| reCAPTCHA (Google) | Cookie | Blocks bots during two-step sign-in | Session |
lhd_lp_* (our website) |
Cookie | Remembers the site that referred you, the page you landed on, campaign tags and any ad click ID, so they can be sent with a form | 90 days |
lhd_lp_journey (our website) |
Browser storage | Lists the pages you view in this visit, so they can be sent with a form | Until you close the tab |
| Userback (our website) | Cookie and browser storage | Runs the feedback tool and links your visits together | Set by Userback; see its privacy policy |
We use Google Analytics only to measure visits and sign-ups, with its advertising features turned off. Our websites don't yet change what they do for Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signals. Because we don't sell or share personal information, there is nothing for those signals to opt you out of.
Changes to this policy
We'll post changes here and update the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll notify you by email or in the app before they take effect. Earlier versions are available on request.
