# Security and data handling

## The app

- Your Markdown files, editor preferences and appearance choice stay on your Mac.
- AI is off until you turn it on in Preferences and connect a provider. When you use it, only the text you review is sent to the provider you chose; their account terms, charges and retention apply.
- Session recovery helps after an interruption but does not replace saving or backups.

## This website

- No advertising, no marketing analytics, no session replay. Hosting receives ordinary page requests.
- Your appearance choice is remembered in this browser only.
- Resend processes contact-form message bodies, reply addresses and version details in the United States. Waiting-list confirmation emails and confirmed addresses with consent evidence are also processed there. Transfers use the safeguards described on the privacy page.
