Atelier Stateful

01All products

This policy explains how Atelier Stateful handles personal information when you buy or use its products. This first part applies to every product. Each product then has its own section.

Who is responsible

Steven Lacroix is the person in charge of the protection of personal information. Send questions and requests about your information to hello@atelierstateful.com.

Purchases

Purchases use Stripe Managed Payments. Link, a Stripe service, is the merchant of record. Stripe processes the information that the purchase needs, such as your email address, payment details, and tax information. Its Privacy Policy explains how Stripe uses this information.

We never receive your full card number. We keep your email address and the Stripe payment reference, so that we can deliver and support your purchase. The section of each product lists what else that product keeps.

Delivery email

We use the email address that you give at checkout to deliver your purchase, for example a license key. Resend sends this email.

Support email

When you write to us, we receive your email address, your name if you give it, and the content of your message. We use them to answer you and to support your purchase. Fastmail stores these messages.

Who processes the information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with the services that we need to sell and support our products:

  • Stripe (Link) processes the purchase.
  • Cloudflare hosts our websites and the online services that our products use.
  • Resend delivers the email that carries your purchase.
  • Fastmail stores the messages that you send to us.
  • Google receives the domain names of websites when Arcful requests their icons.

These services can store information outside Québec and Canada, including in the United States. Laws in those places can permit access by local authorities.

How we protect it

We keep as little information as we can, and we protect what we keep:

  • Every connection to our websites, our online services, and the services above uses encrypted HTTPS.
  • Access to our online services and their data is limited to the accounts of Atelier Stateful.
  • Access to our mailboxes uses a passkey or a password with two-step verification.
  • If a security incident creates a risk of serious harm to you, we tell you and the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec, as Québec law requires.

How long we keep it

We keep the record of a purchase for as long as the product that you bought needs it, for example for as long as a license exists. We keep it longer if tax or accounting law requires it. We keep support messages for as long as we need them to answer you and to support your purchase. You can ask us to delete information that the law does not require us to keep.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal information that we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Write to hello@atelierstateful.com. For payment information that Stripe holds, contact Stripe through the contact options in its Privacy Policy.

If our answer does not satisfy you, you can complain to the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec, or to the privacy regulator where you live.

Changes

If this policy changes, we publish the new version on this page with a new date.

02Arcful

Arcful is a macOS app. It has no telemetry, no analytics, and no tracking, and there is no account. Your rings, items, shortcuts, and settings stay on your Mac.

Arcful connects to the internet to check for updates, to download the list of revoked license keys, to activate a license, and to open a Stripe checkout page.

To show website icons, Arcful asks Google’s icon service (t3.gstatic.com) for them. It does this when you add a website to a ring or drop a link on it. It also does this when it suggests websites, for example your open browser tabs. The request sends the domain name of the website and your IP address to Google, but not the full address of the page.

The Arcful license service keeps:

  • your email address and your license key;
  • the Stripe payment and customer references;
  • the status of the license;
  • a record of each email that carries your license key, and of each support action on your license;
  • a record for each Mac that you activate.

The Arcful Privacy Policy gives the full details. For Arcful, you can also write to support@arcful.app.
