Aetrix Foundry is an independent Mac software studio run by Nimit Bhandari. This policy covers every app the studio publishes and every website it runs. The short version: our apps keep your data on your Mac, none of them contain analytics or tracking, and we never receive a copy of what you work on.
These apply to every Aetrix Foundry app, including ones released after the date above:
Every app gets its own section below. If something we release later needs to do more than this list allows, that app's section will say so plainly and the date above will change.
Duplex runs entirely on your Mac. It does not create an account or build a profile of you.
The only time Duplex communicates over the network for its own purposes is license handling. When you activate a license, and periodically afterwards to confirm it is still valid, Duplex sends two things to the license provider (Dodo Payments):
Nothing else is transmitted.
Update checks. Once a day, Duplex asks GitHub whether a newer version has been published, so it can tell you an update is waiting. The request reads a public list of releases and carries nothing about you, your Mac, or the instances you have created. Duplex never downloads or installs an update on its own. You can switch the check off at any time in the Duplex menu, under "Check for Updates Automatically".
Instances you create. Duplex makes isolated copies of other apps, for example Claude or Slack, each with its own local data folder on your Mac. Duplex does not read, collect, or transmit anything inside those instances. A wrapped app is still that developer's software and is governed by their privacy policy, not this one.
Apart from the update check and the license handling above, Duplex makes no network requests.
Orlo is a mail client, so it handles your mail, but it never sends it to us. Orlo has no server of its own: your mail lives in your provider's mailbox and in a SQLite file on your Mac, and account passwords are kept in the macOS Keychain.
Because a mail client touches more than the commitments above need to describe, Orlo keeps its own detailed privacy policy at orlo.email/privacy. Everything in this policy applies to it as well.
Payments for our apps are processed by Dodo Payments, which acts as the merchant of record. They collect the billing information needed to complete your purchase, under their own privacy policy. Aetrix Foundry receives limited order information, such as your email address and license key, in order to deliver your license and provide support. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
aetrixfoundry.com is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages. It sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser, and runs no analytics or tracking scripts. Its home page shows a Product Hunt badge, which is an image served by Product Hunt, so loading that page reveals your IP address to them. Standard server logs may be kept by the host for security and reliability.
Sites for individual apps, such as orlo.email, are described by that app's own privacy policy. The commitments at the top of this page apply to them too.
New apps are added here as their own section. When this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the current version always lives at this URL. If a change ever reduces your privacy rather than simply describing something new, that will be said at the top of this page and not left to the date alone.
Questions about privacy, or about anything above: dev@aetrixfoundry.com. For Orlo you can also write to hello@orlo.email.
