From https://flew.gg/splice/privacy:

1. Overview
   Splice is designed to run locally on your Mac. It does not include usage analytics, advertising trackers, or behavioral tracking.

This policy applies to the direct download version of Splice and the optional Splice Browser Companion extension.

This policy explains what information Splice stores locally, what the browser companion may process, and when network connections may occur.

1. Information stored locally
   Splice stores app preferences and emoji personalization data on your device so the app can remember your settings and improve local search results.

Local data may include:

App settings, shortcuts, and onboarding state
Preferred emoji skin tone and emoji size
Ignored apps and ignored sites you configure
Custom emoji keywords and imported keyword packs
Recent emoji selections and recent emoji search queries
Local usage counts used to rank emoji suggestions
This information is stored in macOS user defaults and Splice's local Application Support data store. It is not sent to flew.

1. Accessibility and text input
   Splice uses macOS accessibility permissions to detect focused text fields, identify emoji trigger text, show suggestions, and insert the emoji you choose.

Splice may process nearby text, caret position, selected text, and the app currently receiving input to perform these features locally.

Splice does not send text field contents, selected text, or typed content to flew.

1. Browser companion
   The optional Splice Browser Companion extension helps Splice work inside browser text fields and editable pages.

To provide this functionality, the extension may process page context locally, including:

The page URL or hostname
Whether the current frame is the top frame
The kind of editable element being used
Caret and selection state
Nearby text used to detect emoji triggers
Emoji search queries and the emoji selected
This data is exchanged locally between the browser extension and the Splice app through browser extension messaging, native messaging, or the Safari app group bridge. It is not transmitted to flew.

The extension does not sell, share, or disclose browsing data to advertisers or data brokers.

1. Updates
   The direct download version of Splice may use Sparkle to check for app updates. When update checks occur, your Mac contacts the update feed server and the server may receive standard request information such as IP address, user agent, and request time.

Splice does not add analytics or advertising identifiers to update checks.

1. Information you provide
   If you contact us for support, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, messages, screenshots, or diagnostic details.
2. What we do not collect
   We do not collect:

Usage analytics
Advertising identifiers
Behavioral tracking data
Text field contents
Browsing history
Payment or license data
We do not sell personal information or use your data for advertising.

1. Data sharing
   Because Splice's app data is stored locally and not collected by flew, we do not share that app data with third parties.

We may disclose information you provide to us only when necessary to respond to support requests or comply with legal obligations.

1. Data retention
   Local Splice data remains on your device until you delete it, reset the relevant in-app data, or uninstall the app and remove its local support files.

Support communications are retained only as long as necessary for business or legal purposes.

1. Your rights
   You may contact us at contact@flew.gg with privacy questions or requests related to information you have provided to us.
2. Changes to this policy
   If our data practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and revise the effective date.
