Privacy / offline modes - disabling analytics and cloud features



Kite ships with two privacy settings that allow customers to disable analytics and/or cloud features, allowing for sensitive project data to stay on device.


This is useful for enterprise customers with strict security requirements.


If you're having trouble getting your security department to approve Kite in your organization, feel free to reach out to our support team for help.



Data privacy settings



Analytics & crash reporting


Analytics and crash reporting helps us improve Kite and fix bugs in the app.


This setting allows you to turn off analytics and crash reporting. It will make it harder for our support team and engineers to debug issues and help you though problems, so we only recommend doing it if absolutely required for your use case.



Cloud features

By default, project files in Kite are local files that are stored on your computer.


However, certain Kite features (including AI voiceovers, shareable links, shared projects, shared templates, AI auto-blurs, and more), require sending bits of data off of your computer for processing.


This setting allows you to keep project data on device and disable all features that would require sending data off-device.


Disabling options when you install Kite:


You can disable analytics and cloud features when you open Kite for the first time:


  1. In the permissions window, click "Advanced settings"
  2. Uncheck the options you need



Disabling options in app settings


You can also disable these settings from inside the app at any point:


  1. Click your profile picture / avatar in the top right of the app
  2. Click "Settings"


  1. Uncheck the options

  1. You'll be prompted to restart Kite for the settings to take effect
