Spintax Studio is an offline desktop application. It collects nothing about you: no account, no sign-in, no telemetry, no analytics. One feature is an exception, and only once you switch it on: the AI draft can send the text you hand it to a model endpoint you choose, on your own account and your key when that endpoint requires one. It is off until you turn it on, and this policy describes exactly what it sends and to whom.

What we collect

Nothing. There is no account to create, no sign-in, no licence check, no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting and no advertising. We do not know that you have installed the application, and we have no way to find out from it.

Turning on the AI connection does not change this. A key, when your profile uses one, is stored on your own computer, in the Windows Credential Manager, encrypted for your Windows account, and goes nowhere except to the endpoint you pointed it at. We have no key of our own, no account for you and no server in the middle: the request is made by this application, from your machine, on your provider’s account. We never see it.

What leaves your computer

With the AI connection off, which is how the application is installed: nothing. The editor, validation, rendering, variant generator, export and built-in help work without a network connection and always have.

With it on, and only when you press the button that sends: the prompt goes out. That is the brief you wrote (in the text-to-template mode, the source text you pasted), the variable names you listed and, when you ask for a repair, your current document with the diagnostics the engine found in it: the whole document as it stands, whether or not it began as an AI draft. It goes to the endpoint you configured, with your key and on your account when the endpoint uses them. Nothing else is added: no identifier, no document beyond the one you pressed the button on, and no record is kept here of what you sent.

An address on your own machine is an address, not a promise. You can point this at a model running locally — something answering on http://localhost:11434, say — and many people will. What we can tell you is what we do: the request goes to the address in your profile and nowhere else, we are not in it, and nothing about it is reported back to us. What we cannot tell you is what the software at that address does with it next, because we did not write it and cannot see inside it. It may be exactly the local model it looks like; it may also be a proxy that forwards. If it matters to you that nothing leaves the computer, that is a question to settle with whatever you are running there — this application cannot answer it on their behalf, and a policy that said otherwise would be guessing.

The recipient does not change without you. If the address you configured answers with a redirect, the request is refused and you are told where it wanted to send you, rather than followed automatically. Otherwise the far end could move where your prompt and your key go, and you would never see it happen.

What the software at that endpoint does with what you send is its operator’s to state, not ours. Any policy the operator states applies to that exchange and we are not a party to it.

There are two links in the window, and a link is not a request. The spintax.net mark at the bottom of the tool rail and the 301.st mark at the right end of the status bar each do one thing when you click them: they ask Windows to open that address. Windows hands it to whatever browser you use, and the browser is what then visits the site, under its own privacy terms and that site's, exactly as if you had typed the address yourself. Spintax Studio is not part of either exchange and sends nothing into them. Nothing is opened unless you click. The address for reporting AI output you find unacceptable, support@301.st, is shown as plain text in the About window (Help → About): the application never opens a mail program and never sends mail — writing there is your own act, in your own mail application.

What is stored, and where

Your settings, including interface language, theme, editor font and panel widths, are written to a text file in your user profile (%LOCALAPPDATA%). Installed from the Microsoft Store, that file lives inside the application's package container. It contains preferences only: no documents, personal details or device identifiers.

Your documents stay where you put them. Templates, template sets and exported variants are ordinary files in folders you choose. The application reads and writes them only when you ask it to and never copies them elsewhere.

Removing the application removes its settings with it. An attached AI key is the one exception: it lives in the Windows Credential Manager, not in the package, and stays there until you press Forget key in the AI settings or remove it in the Credential Manager yourself — uninstalling does not clear it.

Children

The application collects no data from anyone, of any age.

Changes to this policy

This is the version of the policy that describes the optional AI connection. The earlier one promised it would be updated and republished before any version that sends text is released, and this is that update, published with the version that carries the feature. The same rule holds going forward: if the application ever gains a way to send or store anything not described here, this policy changes first and ships with it, and the effective date above moves.
