Privacy policy

Deckle runs on your computer, so most of the answers here are "we don't have it".

What we collect How we use it Services we use Your rights Terms Refunds
In short Your manuscript stays on your machine. We hold your email address, your licence and your order, because we have to.

1What we collect

What we hold
  • Your email address
  • Your order and receipt
  • Your licence key and the devices it's active on
  • Emails you send us
What we never see
  • Your manuscript
  • Your characters, notes and research
  • Your exported books
  • What you type, ever

Projects are folders on your own computer. The app works with no connection at all, apart from checking your licence and looking for updates.

2How we use it

To send your licence key and receipt, to keep your licence working across your devices, to answer your emails, and to tell you when there's an update or something that affects your purchase. That's the lot.

3The services we use

  • Paddle takes payment and is the merchant of record. They handle card details; we never see them.
  • Our email provider sends your licence key and receipts.
  • Our host serves this website.

4Cookies

The website uses the cookies it needs to keep a purchase working, and an affiliate cookie so that a reviewer who recommended Deckle gets credited when you buy. The app itself uses none.

5How long we keep it

Order and licence records are kept while your licence exists, and as long as tax rules require. Emails are kept so we have context next time you write.

6Your rights

Ask us what we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask for corrections, or ask us to delete it. Write to hello@deckle.studio and we'll do it. Deleting your account data means we can no longer support your licence, so we'll say so before we act.

7AI

There is no AI in Deckle, and nothing you write is sent anywhere to train anything. Not now, and not later without you choosing it.

Questions about your data? Write to hello@deckle.studio.
