Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
PrepressGate (“we”, “us”) is operated by YFI Global. This policy describes what information the GATE desktop app and the website at this domain collect, and how we use it.
Desktop plan: files stay on your machine
The GATE desktop app runs locally on your computer. Your production files (vector, raster, PSD, embroidery, and all other supported formats) are never uploaded to our servers or to any third-party service. Preflight checks happen entirely on your own hardware.
Team plan: files are processed on our infrastructure
With the Team plan, uploaded files (whether submitted by your staff, your customers through an intake form, or your own integration) are transmitted to our infrastructure over HTTPS, processed there, and then the original file body is automatically deleted after 3 days. Owners can download the original from the dashboard within that window. The check result (overall verdict, per-rule findings, file name, size, SHA-256 hash, timestamps, and submitter contact info if provided) stays in your dashboard so you keep a permanent audit trail.
You can delete an individual job at any time from the Jobs page, which removes the result history as well. We do not share file contents or results with any third party.
What we do collect
- Anonymous website analytics. This site uses Vercel Analytics to count page views and download clicks. No personally identifying information is collected.
- Crash reports (opt-in). If the desktop app crashes, it may ask before sending an anonymous diagnostic report.
- Email correspondence. If you contact us at contact@yfi-global.com, we retain the message so we can reply.
No accounts
The free desktop app requires no signup, login, or account. We do not collect your name, email, or payment details to use it.
Third parties
We do not sell, rent, or share data with advertisers. The only third-party processors used are hosting (Vercel) and email (standard mail providers for replies).
