Vellumstead Labs privacy

Local-first is shared. The data flows are product-specific.

Vellumstead Labs builds both apps to keep the user's working content local by default. Each product still has its own policy because licensing, purchases, diagnostics, and optional browser or store services are different.

What “local-first” means here.

  1. 01

    Work locally

    Primary files, reports, photos, and notes stay on the user's device by default.

  2. 02

    Use narrow services

    External services are limited to product needs such as licensing, purchases, or diagnostics.

  3. 03

    Share deliberately

    Support attachments and diagnostics are user-chosen and should be reviewed first.

  4. 04

    Read the product policy

    The detailed policy is the authority for each app's current behavior.
