This Privacy Policy applies to StrataWrite, StrataRead, and StrataFeed (collectively referred to as StrataSuite), research-focused applications for macOS and iPadOS. Protecting your privacy is important. This policy explains what data these apps handle and how it is used.
StrataWrite, StrataRead, and StrataFeed do not collect, track, sell, or transmit personal data to the developer.
All user-created or user-managed content—including notes, manuscripts, PDFs, annotations, and reading lists—remains stored locally on your device or within your personal iCloud account if sync is enabled.
If you enable iCloud sync in any StrataSuite app, your data is stored securely in your personal iCloud account. Apple manages the encryption, transmission, and storage of this data. The developer does not have access to your iCloud-stored content.
StrataFeed retrieves publicly available scholarly metadata (such as article titles, authors, abstracts, and publication information) from the OpenAlex open scholarly catalog. These requests do not include personal identifiers and are not used for user tracking or profiling.
StrataSuite apps do not include third-party analytics, advertising frameworks, or tracking technologies.
If you contact support at stance@mac.com, any information you provide in that email will be used solely to respond to your request and will not be shared or retained for other purposes.
You retain full control of your data. You may delete notes, manuscripts, PDFs, annotations, and reading data directly within the apps at any time.
If iCloud sync is enabled, related data stored in iCloud can be managed or deleted through your Apple ID iCloud settings in accordance with Apple’s policies.
