Privacy Policy
The short version
Your screenplay is yours and stays with you. The studio runs entirely in your browser. We collect the minimum needed to run accounts and the registration service — an email address and, for registrations, an author name — and nothing else. No advertising, no analytics trackers, no selling of data.
What never leaves your device
- Your script text, when you use the studio without signing in — it exists only in your browser and in files you save yourself.
- Fingerprinting for registration and verification happens in your browser. Registration stores the fingerprint (a one-way SHA-256 code), never the script text. The text of your screenplay cannot be reconstructed from a fingerprint.
What we store, and why
- Account: your email address — to sign you in with one-time codes.
- Cloud projects: if you save projects to your account, we store those project files so you can open them from any device. They are private to your account and we do not read them.
- Registrations: registration number, script title, author name, email, word count, fingerprint, and timestamp. This record is the product — a dated, verifiable entry in an append-only registry.
Public verification
Anyone with a registration number or the exact registered file can look up its registry entry (title, author name, date, fingerprint). This is by design — verifiability is what makes a registration worth having. Your email is never shown on verification results.
How long we keep things
- Cloud projects — until you delete them or your account.
- Registry entries — permanently. A registration is a dated record; deleting records would defeat the purpose of the registry for every writer who relies on it. Account deletion removes your email from account systems but registry entries persist as service records.
Your rights
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask us what personal data we hold about you, ask for corrections, and ask for deletion of your account and projects. Write to connecttoevolution@gmail.com — this is also our grievance contact. We respond within 30 days.
Where data lives
Account and registry data is stored with our cloud database provider (Supabase) in the Asia-Pacific region. During the current demo/beta phase, accounts and registrations may be stored only in your own browser — the app tells you clearly when this is the case.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above changes and material changes will be noted on this page.
