Privacy Policy
The short version. Bramble is a macOS app that runs on your computer. Your manuscripts, characters, notes, and everything else you create live as plain files on your Mac, not on our servers. We can't read your book. We don't want to. We don't train anything on it.
What Bramble stores, and where
Your projects are non-proprietary files on your disk. They stay there. Bramble does not upload your writing to us, and there is no Bramble cloud your manuscript is copied to. If you choose to keep your library in iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive, that is your storage provider under their terms, not ours.
What we do collect
Only what's needed to sell and license the app. When you buy Bramble or start a trial, our payment provider handles the transaction and we receive your email address and license status so we can support you and keep your license valid.
- Purchase and license data. Handled by Lemon Squeezy (or any successor payment provider) acting as merchant of record. They process your payment and billing details; we never see or store your full card information. We receive your email, order, and license key status.
- License validation. Bramble contacts the licensing service to confirm your license is active, with an offline grace period so you can keep writing without a connection. This exchanges your license key, not your writing.
- Update checks. Bramble checks for new versions so you get fixes and features.
- Optional support contact. If you email info@trybramble.app, we keep that correspondence to help you.
This website (analytics & cookies)
This marketing website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and move through the pages, so we can improve them. This is separate from the Bramble app; the app itself still runs no analytics or advertising trackers, as described above.
We may also use this data with Google’s advertising features — including remarketing to people who have visited the site — to measure and improve our advertising. Advertising cookies are set only with your consent, and are denied by default for visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.
We use Google Consent Mode. If you visit from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, analytics and advertising storage are denied by default and no analytics cookies are set unless you choose Accept on the cookie banner. You can change your mind any time with the Cookie choices link in the footer. Elsewhere, analytics runs by default and you can decline with the same control. Your choice is remembered on your device.
What we don't do
We don't sell your data. We don't use your writing to train AI. We don't run advertising trackers inside the app. There is no generative AI in your manuscript, by design.
Your choices
You can request a copy of the limited data we hold (your email, order, and license status), ask us to delete it, or deactivate a license from your device. Because your writing lives on your Mac, deleting your account with us does not touch your manuscripts; those are yours to keep or remove.
