Privacy

Stowbar keeps the app small and the data path narrow.

The shelf itself is local. Network access is limited to activation, update checks, and whichever analytics or support systems are later enabled on the public site.

App data

Stowbar stores shelf content locally on your Mac.

Pinned items and retained shelf entries live in the app's local storage. Activation secrets are stored in Keychain, not plain preferences.

Website data

The marketing site can collect basic operational data such as page requests, purchase events, and support requests.

The initial implementation should stay minimal and avoid invasive tracking by default.

Activation and updates

License activation and update delivery use the Stowbar licensing service.

Those requests may include the license key, bundle identifier, and release metadata needed to verify access and deliver updates securely.
