Kaval Privacy Policy

What Kaval Accesses

Kaval reads the following from your operating system in real-time:

• Listening port numbers and protocols (TCP/UDP)
• Process IDs (PIDs) associated with ports
• Process names and command lines
• CPU and memory usage per process
• Process uptime

All information is read-only, held in memory during the session, and discarded when Kaval exits.

What Kaval Does NOT Do

• Does not store any data to disk
• Does not create configuration files or databases
• Does not make any network connections
• Does not send telemetry, analytics, or crash reports
• Does not collect personal information
• Does not require an account or registration

Process Killing

When you use the kill feature:

• Kaval always asks for confirmation before killing a process
• SIGTERM (default) gives the process a chance to clean up gracefully
• SIGKILL (--force) terminates immediately — use only when necessary
• Killing system processes may require sudo privileges

Open Source

Kaval is fully open source under the MIT license. You can audit every line of code at github.com/AppachiTech/kaval.
