Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

Your writing

Your documents are stored on your device and, if you enable sync, in your iCloud account via Apple CloudKit. We do not read or sell your writing.

Account

If you create an account, we store your email address (magic-link sign-in) or the identifier provided by Sign in with Apple, via our provider Supabase.

Payments

Direct purchases are processed by Paddle as merchant of record; Mac App Store purchases by Apple. We receive subscription status, not your card details.

AI features

Apple Intelligence runs on your device. If you use hosted AI, the text you send (for example a passage, question, or a summary of your book) is sent through our server to a model provider via OpenRouter to generate a reply. We record usage (token counts, model, time) to enforce allowances. [LEGAL: confirm provider retention/training terms.] If you use your own OpenRouter key, requests go to OpenRouter under your account.

Analytics

[TODO: state whether any analytics or crash reporting is used.]

Deletion and your rights

You can delete your account in the app or by emailing support@theasterisk.app. [LEGAL: GDPR/CCPA rights, controller identity, address.]
