Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-04-20

This Privacy Policy describes how AIR STUDIO LLC (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use the RemADE IDE desktop application (the “App”) and the cloud services at api.remade.dev (the “Cloud Services”). RemADE is designed to do most of its work locally on your device. We collect only the limited information described below.

1. Information stored on your device

The App stores the following information locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to us unless explicitly described in Section 2.

Project paths and recent projects — paths to projects you have opened.
Workspace layout — panel sizes, positions, and tab state, saved to .remade/layout.json per project.
Per-project notes — Quick Notes content, stored in .remade/notes.db (SQLite) within each project.
SSH connection configurations — host, user, port, and key paths, stored in ~/.remade/ssh-connections.json. SSH passwords (if used) are stored in the macOS Keychain under the service name remade-ide and never leave your device.
License cache — your license tier and feature entitlements, stored in ~/.remade/license.json.
Terminal session data — buffer contents and event history for persistent terminal sessions (“zmx” sessions) live on your device only.

2. Information transmitted to our Cloud Services

When the App contacts api.remade.dev, the following data is sent:

2.1 Update check and telemetry (`/v1/check`)

On a periodic basis (at startup and intermittently thereafter), the App sends:

Machine ID — a SHA-256 hash of your macOS IOPlatformUUID (or a hash of hostname + username on other platforms). The raw UUID is never transmitted. The hash is pseudonymous and used to count distinct installations and enforce per-device license activations.
App version, OS, and CPU architecture — for update routing and compatibility statistics.
Frameworks (optional) — high-level identifiers of frameworks detected in your projects, used to inform feature roadmap. No project paths, filenames, or contents are included.
License tier — your current license tier (e.g. free, plus).

2.2 License validation and activation (`/v1/license/validate`, `/v1/license/activate`)

When you enter or refresh a license key, the App sends:

The license key you entered, and your machine ID (as defined above).

In response, our server returns the entitlements granted by that license. The license key is stored locally in ~/.remade/license.json.

2.3 Feedback (`/v1/feedback`)

If you submit feedback through the App, we receive:

The message you wrote.
Your email (if you provide one — optional).
App version, OS, and CPU architecture.
Logs that you choose to attach (optional). You control whether logs are attached.
A Cloudflare Turnstile token for bot protection.

3. What we do NOT collect

We do not collect or transmit:

Source code, file contents, file names, or directory structures from your projects.
Terminal input, output, or command history.
Keystrokes, editor input, or AI prompts.
SSH credentials, passwords, or private keys.
Project paths or recent project lists.
Browsing history, IP-based location, or device fingerprints beyond the hashed machine ID described above.

We do not use third-party analytics SDKs (e.g., Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment) inside the App.

4. How we use information

We use the limited information described in Section 2 to:

Deliver and maintain the App and Cloud Services.
Validate licenses and enforce per-device activation limits.
Inform you of available updates.
Understand high-level usage patterns to prioritize the roadmap.
Respond to feedback you submit.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising or for profiling for marketing purposes.

For users in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing are:

Performance of a contract — operating the App and Cloud Services you have requested.
Legitimate interests — securing our services, preventing abuse, improving the product, and enforcing licenses.
Consent — for optional submissions such as feedback and attached logs.

6. Data retention

License records are retained as long as your account or license is active.
Telemetry pings (machine ID + version) are retained in aggregated form.
Feedback submissions are retained for as long as needed to respond and improve the product, and may be deleted on request.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export the information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@remade.dev.

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

8. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

9. Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect data in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. SSH passwords are stored only in your operating system’s Keychain and never leave your device.

10. International transfers

Cloud Services are hosted on Cloudflare Workers infrastructure, which may process requests in regions outside your country of residence.

11. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top will be updated, and material changes will be communicated through the App or our website.

12. Contact
