Privacy Policy
Effective: August 8, 2026 · Last updated: August 25, 2026
The short version: CueStride is local-first. We do not require a CueStride account, sell personal data, run ads, or upload your scripts, recordings, captions, or projects to our servers. Store purchase and device-integrity information is processed only when needed to verify or restore Pro access.
This Privacy Policy explains how CueStride ("CueStride," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the CueStride mobile application and related support and purchase-verification services (collectively, the "Service"). It also explains the choices available to you.
1. Information stored on your device
CueStride stores the following information locally so the app can provide its features:
- scripts, edits, markers, prompt position, and reading settings;
- recorded video and audio, captions, thumbnails, projects, and export history;
- brand presets, app preferences, permission state, and remote-pairing settings; and
- a minimal, securely stored record of verified Pro entitlement status.
This content is not sent to CueStride servers. CueStride does not provide an app account or cloud-content synchronization. Managed app content is excluded from device backup where supported by the operating system.
2. Permissions and device features
CueStride asks for access only when you start a feature that needs it:
| Access | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Camera | Record video and, when selected, scan a nearby CueStride pairing code. |
| Microphone | Record audio and provide optional voice-follow prompting. |
| Speech recognition | Follow spoken words and create captions using on-device processing. |
| Photos and files | Import scripts you select and save or share exports at your direction. |
| Local network | Pair nearby CueStride devices and send encrypted prompt-control information without a cloud relay. |
| Notifications | Show the status of work you started, such as a media export. |
| Display over other apps (Android) | Show a user-started, visible floating prompt while another app is open. |
Camera, microphone, script, and media content is processed for the feature you request. Nearby remote pairing is local-network only, uses encrypted connections, and does not pass through CueStride servers. Pairing credentials expire automatically.
3. Purchases and entitlement verification
Purchases are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play under the store provider's own privacy policy. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
When you buy, restore, or verify Pro access, the app and our trusted entitlement-verification providers may process:
- the app and product identifier, store platform, purchase token or signed store transaction, transaction dates, subscription status, and expiration or revocation status;
- request-bound Apple App Attest/DeviceCheck or Google Play Integrity evidence used to confirm that the request comes from a genuine app and device environment; and
- technical security data such as request time, response status, short-lived replay-prevention values, trace identifiers, and network information that a hosting provider may process when delivering the request.
We use this information only to validate purchases, grant or revoke features, restore access, prevent fraud and replay attacks, diagnose failures, and meet legal obligations. Verification requests do not contain your scripts, recordings, captions, contacts, precise location, advertising identifiers, or payment-card details.
4. Analytics, advertising, and tracking
The released configuration does not send product analytics to CueStride, include an advertising network, serve personalized ads, or track you across apps and websites. CueStride's internal analytics interface is disabled by default and has no production destination. If this changes, we will update this Policy and any required in-app or store disclosures before collection begins.
5. Information you choose to share
Exports
When you export or share a script, video, audio file, caption file, or project, the destination you choose controls the exported copy under its own terms and privacy practices. CueStride does not receive that copy.
Support
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include. Please do not send scripts, recordings, purchase tokens, pairing codes, passwords, private keys, or other sensitive content. We use support messages to respond, troubleshoot, prevent abuse, and maintain appropriate business records.
6. Sharing and service providers
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- Apple, for App Store purchases, StoreKit, device integrity, and Apple platform services;
- Google, for Google Play purchases, Play Integrity, and Google platform services;
- infrastructure providers, solely to operate and secure purchase verification and email support; and
- authorities or professional advisers, when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect users, enforce our terms, or defend legal claims.
We may also transfer relevant information as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of the Service, subject to applicable law and appropriate notice.
7. Retention
Local app content remains on your device until you delete it, use CueStride's “Delete all data” control, or uninstall the app, subject to copies you exported elsewhere.
Purchase-verification information and operational security records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to verify entitlements, prevent fraud and replay, investigate failures, keep required financial or legal records, and resolve disputes. Short-lived replay and idempotency records expire automatically. Store providers retain their own transaction records under their policies. Support email is retained only as long as needed for support, security, and legitimate record-keeping.
8. Your choices and deletion
- You may deny or revoke optional permissions in device settings, although the related feature may stop working.
- You may delete individual projects or use Settings → Privacy & Storage → Delete all data to erase managed CueStride content on your device.
- You may delete the app. This removes app-managed local data, subject to operating-system behavior and copies you exported.
- You may manage or cancel subscriptions through the Apple App Store or Google Play account used for purchase.
- You may contact us about purchase-verification or support information associated with you. We may need enough information to authenticate and locate the relevant record.
Because CueStride has no account or cloud-content store, we cannot view, recover, or remotely delete scripts and media that exist only on your device.
9. Security
We use safeguards appropriate to the information processed, including HTTPS for service communications, platform-protected local entitlement storage, authenticated purchase verification, short-lived anti-replay controls, and encrypted local-network remote sessions. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children
CueStride is a general-audience productivity app and is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum digital-consent age in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
11. International processing
Apple, Google, hosting, and email providers may process information in countries other than yours. Where required, we rely on appropriate contractual or legal safeguards for such transfers.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when CueStride's features, providers, or legal requirements change. We will update the date above and provide additional notice when required. Material changes apply prospectively unless the law permits otherwise.
