The short version: your music never leaves your machine.
Draft. This policy has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer.
It will be finalised before Sessions is sold.
Sessions runs entirely on your computer. Your projects, samples, plugin lists, notes and
everything else it catalogs are stored in a local database on your device.
Sessions does not upload your files, your library, or any analytics about your music
anywhere.
The only network calls the app makes are: (1) license key activation/validation with our
payment provider when you enter a key, (2) checking for app updates, and (3) sending a
problem report — only when you press Send, and containing only what
was shown to you on screen first. Calls (1) and (2) send no personal data beyond the
license key, an instance identifier, and your app version.
Problem reports are never sent on their own. Nothing is transmitted
unless you press Send, and the full contents are displayed before you do. A report contains
recent error messages, your app version, and counts of how many projects and samples you
have. Your account name is replaced with ~. It contains none of your notes,
ratings, tags or label contacts — but error messages quote file paths,
and a project folder name is usually a track title, so read it before you send it. There is
a checkbox to blank folder names if you would rather. You can also save the report to a file
and email it yourself instead. We keep reports only to fix the bug, and no report is linked
to you unless you choose to include your email address.
When you do press Send, the report travels over the internet like any web request, so it
reveals your IP address to Cloudflare, who host the
endpoint that receives it, and it is then delivered to our support mailbox through an email
provider. Both may log the request under their own privacy policies. If you would rather
not have that, use Save a copy and email the file yourself — the report is
identical either way.
Update checks and downloads are served by GitHub Releases. Like any web
request, these reveal your IP address and app version to GitHub, who may log them under
their own privacy policy. We receive nothing from those requests and do not track them.
Nothing about your music, files or library is included.
Plugin Passports are files you create and share yourself; nothing is transmitted by the
app.
We don't run accounts, so there is no account data to breach.
