Steward

Privacy

Last updated 1 November 2026

Short version: the app sends nothing about you or your code to us. To sell you a license we keep your email address and the Paddle IDs for your purchase, and nothing else.

The app

  • Steward runs on your Mac. Your inbox and settings are stored on your Mac.
  • It talks to GitHub through your own gh login. If you generate layered diffs, the diff goes to your own Claude Code or Codex, which talks to its provider under your account and their terms.
  • It contacts getsteward.dev only to check for updates and for refunded license keys, and to download updates. Those requests carry nothing about you, your license or your code.
  • License keys are checked on your Mac. There is no activation server and no device tracking.
  • There is no analytics, telemetry or crash reporting.

When you buy

Paddle, our reseller and merchant of record, runs the checkout and handles your payment details, address and tax information under Paddle’s privacy policy. We never see your card. Paddle’s checkout script loads only on the buy page.

When a purchase completes, our server stores:

  • your email address (from Paddle),
  • the Paddle transaction ID and customer ID,
  • your license key, its status (active or revoked) and when it was issued, emailed or revoked.

We use these to email your key, to send it again when you ask on the recovery page, and to revoke it if the purchase is refunded or charged back. We don’t send marketing email and don’t sell or share this data.

Who processes it

  • Paddle: checkout, payment, tax, receipts and refunds.
  • Cloudflare: hosts this site and its server, stores the license records, and sends the license emails. Cloudflare handles IP addresses to serve requests; our server uses them briefly to rate-limit the license endpoints and does not store them.

This website

No cookies, analytics or trackers, except what Paddle’s checkout sets on the buy page.

Your choices

To see or delete what we hold about you, email hello@getsteward.dev from the address you bought with. Deleting your record means we can no longer resend your key, so save it first. Paddle keeps its own records of the sale, as the law requires of a seller.
