Overview

Shadow Trace is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

Data Collection

Shadow Trace does not collect any personal information. The app operates entirely offline and does not communicate with any external servers.

Audio Data

Any audio you record or load into Shadow Trace remains on your device. Audio files are processed locally and are never uploaded or shared.

Your saved recipes and app preferences are stored locally on your Mac in the Application Support folder. This data is not synced or backed up to any cloud service by the app.
