Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 20, 2026

1. The short version

The product is local-first by design: your app's brief, your keyword research and your run history live on your machine and in your account — we collect the minimum needed to run the service, we don't sell data, and this website sets no tracking cookies.

2. What we store

• Account: your email address, activation keys (hashed), device fingerprint (a hash — no hardware identifiers leave your machine in readable form), session records.
• Billing: a credit ledger (grants and per-keyphrase debits). Payment details (card numbers etc.) never reach us — they are processed by Paddle.
• Runs: the brief you submit, computed keyword metrics and run logs — needed to execute and resume your runs.
• Waitlist: the email (and optional app link) you submit through the form.

3. What leaves your machine

Store lookups (autocomplete and search results) are made from your computer directly to the store — we don't proxy them. Your brief and derived phrases are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) for relevance scoring — statelessly: used for your run's scoring, kept nowhere except your run log.

4. Processors we rely on

• Paddle — payments, invoicing, sales tax (merchant of record).
• Resend — transactional email (activation keys, receipts, invites).
• Anthropic — AI relevance scoring of keyword candidates.
• Web3Forms — delivery of waitlist form submissions.
• Server hosting in the EU; DNS and site delivery by Cloudflare.

5. Retention and deletion

Account, ledger and run data are kept while your account is active; billing records as long as accounting law requires. Email hello@asoptimus.com from your account address to get a copy of your data or to have the account and everything deletable deleted — we answer within 30 days.

6. Cookies

This website uses none. The desktop app stores its session token in your system keychain.

7. Changes

If this policy changes materially we'll notify by email. Questions — hello@asoptimus.com.
