PRIVATE BETA · DATA & PRIVACY
A clear view of
what the beta records.
Updated 3 November 2026. Overlay is preparing an invite-only beta. The hosted account service is currently limited to a controlled private test; general public access remains closed. Downloads require an approved account and an available release.
About the operator
Overlay is a personal project operated from Jordan. The Overlay Team is the public brand and support name.
Contact The Overlay Team
For beta support, account questions or privacy requests, email support@overlaytools.com. We may ask you to verify account ownership before changing or deleting account information. Never email passwords, authenticator setup keys, recovery codes or verification links.
Your account
The account service stores your email, verification state and protected password record. Your account must be approved by the beta owner before you can download or activate Overlay. Administrator access is separate from tester access.
Device and license activity
The licensed beta registers a public-key-based device identity to your account on app activation. The service records device activation and license-check times, your trial deadline and access changes. Your device’s private signing key stays in Windows-protected local storage; it is not sent to the service.
Your work stays your work
This licensing flow does not upload CAD models, project file contents or typed text. Saved layouts remain separate from credentials and remain available for export after beta expiry. The current account pages do not collect in-app command usage.
Future beta diagnostics
Limited sessions, feature/command counts and error diagnostics are planned to help improve Overlay. What is collected and the relevant choices will be explained before that collection is enabled. This page will be updated to reflect the actual hosted beta before launch.
Online and offline access
The licensed beta trial runs for 14 days from first successful activation, across up to two authorized devices. Offline permission lasts at most 24 hours between online checks and never extends the trial deadline. The owner can approve, extend or revoke access. An offline device may retain its existing permission until that signed lease expires.
Website sessions
Sign-in tokens for these account pages stay in browser memory rather than permanent browser storage. Reloading or leaving the page requires signing in again. These pages do not load third-party advertising, analytics or external fonts.
Hosting and account emails
Render hosts the account service and its database. Resend delivers verification and password-reset emails. These providers process information needed to provide those services, such as recipient email addresses and request or delivery metadata. Hosting security and operational logs may include IP addresses and timestamps. Our website does not add advertising analytics.
Account review and deletion requests
During beta, The Overlay Team will manually review accounts after 90 days of inactivity to decide whether they are still needed. This is a review policy, not automatic account deletion. You can request deletion at support@overlaytools.com; requests are handled manually after verifying account ownership. Account records and access history are used to operate and secure the beta.
Encrypted recovery backups may contain earlier account records. Deleting an active account does not immediately remove it from every backup. A fixed backup-retention or deletion deadline is not currently promised. If a backup is restored, fulfilled deletion requests must be reapplied before that restored service is used.
Getting help
Tell us your Overlay version, the software and version you were using, the steps you took and the error you saw. Do not include private project files or sensitive screenshots unless we agree a suitable way to share them. Support emails are forwarded to the team inbox so we can respond.
