Espresso is a desktop application that runs entirely on your computer. It has no built-in “cloud” features, so all of your project data stays on your own machine (and any servers you explicitly connect to). We only collect the minimum amount of personal information needed to deliver your license and to send important updates. The sections below explain in greater detail what information is collected and how it is used.
We are Mac software developers, not a data business. We have no interest in gathering more information than is strictly necessary to provide and support Espresso. If we could provide our software with zero personal data, we would. We never sell your information, and our focus is on delivering a great app while respecting your privacy.
Payments for Espresso are processed by Stripe, which has its own Privacy Policy.
When you make a purchase, Stripe shares with us limited information such as your email address, billing country, and transaction details (for example, which product you bought). We do not receive your full payment details such as credit-card numbers. We store your email address so we can deliver your activation code and, if necessary, contact you about important changes to this Privacy Policy or to our License Agreement.
We maintain a low-volume newsletter with occasional updates about Espresso. Expect only a few messages per year. Subscription is optional and you may sign up on our website or from the welcome screen in Espresso. Each message includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
If Espresso crashes or encounters a serious error, the app can generate an anonymized crash report. You will be asked before any report is sent to us. Reports may include technical details about the state of the application, operating system, and hardware at the time of the crash, but they do not include your private project data. Crash reporting uses the Plausible CrashReporter framework.
Espresso periodically checks whether a newer version of the app is available. When an update is found, you’ll be prompted to download and install it; updates are never installed without your consent. Update checking is handled securely via the Sparkle framework.
Espresso includes optional features powered by our LatteAI technology. All AI processing happens locally on your Mac. We do not send your project files, code, or other personal data to our servers for AI features. Your content remains on your device at all times.
Our website does not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics. Payment processing on our website is handled by Stripe, which may set its own cookies as part of the checkout process.
We maintain official accounts on social media platforms (for example, Mastodon, Twitter/X, or others). If you choose to follow or interact with these accounts, any information you provide will be handled by those platforms under their own privacy policies. We do not receive or collect any personal data from your social media profiles beyond what the platform makes publicly available or what you choose to share with us directly.
We are an Australian company and comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. You have the right to access and correct the personal information we hold about you. If you have any concerns or wish to make a privacy complaint, please contact us using the details below. We take your privacy seriously and will do our best to address your concerns.
