Effective Date: October 14, 2025
This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, storage, and sharing of personal and usage-related information by Manzoni, a locally deployed artificial intelligence word processor developed by Gems Platforms, Inc. Manzoni is designed to operate entirely offline, ensuring that no user data is transmitted to external servers or shared with third parties beyond what is strictly necessary for service functionality, support, or compliance. This policy complies with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the European Union's data minimization and transparency principles.
Manzoni is a privacy-first word processing application designed for users who prioritize data control and security. It does not require email or password authentication. All text, documents, and editing activity remain strictly on the user’s device. No personal information is sent to Gems Platforms, Inc. or any third party during normal operation. The only data processed in the background are anonymized usage metrics, collected solely to improve product performance and user experience.
Manzoni collects the following categories of data, each with a clearly defined purpose:
Category: Anonymized behavioral data such as feature usage frequency and session duration.
Origin: Collected directly from the device's local runtime environment.
Processing: Data is aggregated, anonymized, and stripped of any personally identifiable information before transmission to Aptabase (https://aptabase.com/), a third-party analytics platform.
Purpose: To understand user behavior, identify trends, and inform product development decisions.
Retention: Data is retained for up to 5 years after collection and then automatically deleted.
Sharing: No personal data is shared. Aptabase does not link any analytics data to individual users.
Only for users who purchase a full license, the following information is collected:
Hashed Device ID: A unique, irreversible cryptographic hash derived from the device's hardware characteristics (e.g., serial number, model, MAC address). This is not stored as plain text and cannot be reverse-engineered.
Email Address: Collected only at the time of purchase and used solely for license restoration and fraud prevention.
Storage: This data is stored exclusively in a secure Firestore database by Google Firebase, hosted in the European Union (EU). No other data is stored or shared.
Retention: Information is retained only as long as necessary to support license validation and fraud detection or until the user requests deletion.
All collected data is used solely for the following purposes:
Improving product functionality and performance through aggregated, anonymized usage analytics.
Enabling license restoration for users who have purchased a valid license, using the hashed device ID and email address to verify ownership and prevent unauthorized access.
Preventing fraud and unauthorized use by detecting suspicious activity patterns and ensuring that only legitimate users can access licensed features.
No data is used for advertising, profiling, targeted marketing, or any other commercial purpose.
All user-generated content (documents, notes, edits) is stored locally on the user's device and is never transmitted to any remote server. Usage analytics data is sent to Aptabase only after anonymization and is stored on Aptabase's servers in accordance with its privacy policy. Purchase-related data is stored exclusively in a Firestore database by Google Firebase, hosted in the European Union, under stringent access controls and audit procedures. Storage locations are regularly audited to ensure compliance with data localization and privacy laws.
Manzoni does not share any personal data with third parties under the following conditions:
With Aptabase: Only anonymized, aggregated analytics data is shared. No personally identifiable information is transmitted or processed.
With license verification systems: The hashed device ID and email address are shared only with Gems Platforms, Inc. systems to authenticate license validity and prevent fraud.
With law enforcement: Data may be disclosed only if required by law, with prior notice to the user where possible, and only to the extent necessary.
No other sharing: No data is shared with advertisers, affiliates, or partners outside the core functionality of license validation and analytics.
Under applicable data protection laws, users have the following rights:
Right to Access: Users can request a copy of any data processed about them (including usage logs or purchase data).
Right to Erasure: Users may request the deletion of their personal data, including hashed device ID and email address, at any time. This entails the termination of the license validity.
Right to Object: Users may object to the processing of their data for analytics or fraud prevention, though such processing may continue for operational necessity.
Right to Data Portability: Users may request a copy of their data in a portable format, though this is limited to non-sensitive, non-proprietary content.
Requests must be submitted to [email protected]. Gems Platforms, Inc. will respond within 30 calendar days of receiving a valid request.
