# Privacy and local label processing

LabelChop is designed as a desktop workflow tool.

# Privacy and local label processing

LabelChop is designed as a desktop workflow tool.

The desktop app processes label files locally on your computer after activation. This means your normal label printing workflow does not require uploading every label PDF to a cloud service for cropping.

## What internet is used for

Internet may be needed for:

-   Account login
    
-   Trial/subscription activation
    
-   Updates
    
-   Support/contact tools
    

## Sensitive information

Shipping labels can contain recipient names and addresses. Treat them as sensitive documents.

Do not send LabelChop support:

-   Passwords
    
-   Payment card numbers
    
-   Unnecessary customer data
    

If support needs an example PDF, redact anything sensitive where possible or ask what is required first.
