Privacy

The short version: your writing lives on your Mac and we never see it. We run no analytics, set no cookies, and sell no data — on this website or in the app. The app talks to exactly three servers, and every one is listed below.

Your scripts

Slate saves your work to a folder you choose on your own Mac, as plain files you can open in any editor. Nothing you write is uploaded to us — we have no server that could hold it. If you point Slate at a cloud folder (Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Google Drive) for a backup copy or for co-writing, that's your account with that provider, under their privacy policy, and entirely under your control.

Everything the app sends over the network

• License activation and renewal — when you activate, the app sends the purchase email you typed to slatescript.app and gets back a signed license token. That's the whole exchange. It repeats quietly about once a month to confirm the subscription is active.
• Update checks — the app asks github.com whether a newer version exists and downloads it from there.
• The typeface — the app loads its screenplay font (Courier Prime) from Google Fonts when it starts.

That's the complete list. There is no telemetry, no usage tracking, no crash reporting, and no "anonymous analytics." When you write at 2 a.m., nobody knows but you.

This website

• We use no analytics and no advertising trackers, and we set no cookies.
• The site is hosted on Netlify, which keeps standard server logs (IP address, pages requested) to run the service.
• The site loads its fonts from Google Fonts.
• If you buy Slate, checkout happens on Stripe. Your card number goes to Stripe, never to us — we receive only your email address and subscription status, which is what activates the app and lets us help you at support. Stripe also emails your receipt.

Email

If you write to support@slatescript.app, we use your message and address to reply, and for nothing else. No lists, no marketing follow-ups.

What we'd hand over if you asked

Everything we have about you is: your purchase email and Stripe subscription status. Want it corrected or deleted (along with cancelling), or just want to know what's there? Email support and a human will handle it.

Changes

If this policy ever changes in a way that matters, the date above changes with it, and the plain-English promise stays.
