The short version
Scriptorum is local-first desktop software. It does not require a Scriptorum account, upload your books to a Scriptorum service, or include behavioral advertising trackers. Direct purchases are completed on Stripe's hosted checkout; Scriptorum.net never receives your full payment-card details.
Desktop application data
Your vaults, planning boards, story information, manuscripts, settings, and exports are stored on your computer in the location you choose. Scriptorum does not operate a cloud service that receives this content. If you place the library in a folder synchronized by another provider, that provider's terms and privacy practices apply to the copy it receives.
Website and direct-purchase information
Scriptorum.net does not require an account. Cloudflare serves and protects the website, activation API, and standalone downloads and may process limited technical information—such as IP address, browser information, and security events—needed to deliver those services and prevent abuse. Stripe Managed Payments processes direct orders as merchant of record, including checkout details, payment information, tax, receipts, refunds, and transaction support under Stripe's own terms and privacy policy. We receive the purchaser's email address, Stripe order identifiers, payment status, and refund or dispute status so we can issue and administer the license.
Standalone licensing and updates
The standalone edition sends the license key, a randomly generated installation identifier, application edition, version, and operating-system platform to the Scriptorum activation service. The service returns a signed perpetual device certificate and an update token. It does not receive your Windows account name, book vaults, manuscripts, planning data, or exports. Update requests use the token to verify entitlement and record the activation's most recent service contact.
Steam
Purchases, wishlists, downloads, updates, ownership, and related store activity are handled by Valve through Steam. When you follow a link to Steam, Valve's privacy policy and terms apply. Website links may include campaign parameters that allow Steam to report aggregate visit and conversion attribution.
Support communications
If you email support, we receive the address you use, your message, and any files you choose to attach. That information is used to respond, diagnose the issue, and maintain appropriate support records. Email routing and delivery may involve Cloudflare and Google Workspace.
Sharing and sale of information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with Stripe, Cloudflare, Google Workspace, and other service providers only where necessary to process a direct order, deliver or activate the application, provide updates, operate the website or support channel, or comply with law.
Security and retention
We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to a lightweight product website and support operation. Support correspondence is retained only as long as it remains useful for resolving issues, maintaining records, or meeting legal obligations.
