erehwon software

Privacy policy

Effective 25 October 2026. This policy covers erehwon software’s Mac apps, erehwon.com.au and the Content Studio web app at app.erehwon.com.au.

Who we are

erehwon software is operated by Charles Newbury in Victoria, Australia. Contact hello@erehwon.com.au or PO BOX 27 Central Park VIC 3145.

Local app data

The Mac apps described below have no erehwon account service, cloud-processing backend, advertising SDK or in-app analytics. File contents, paths, hashes, task records, business records and app history are processed locally as described below. macOS permissions control access to selected files, Photos, Calendar, camera, Input Monitoring and notifications where applicable. You can revoke permissions in System Settings.

Website analytics and app referrals

Every website page includes Statcounter analytics. Page loads can send connection and device information, visited URLs, referral information and usage information to Statcounter. Statcounter may use cookies and process information outside Australia. erehwon app website links include an app-name referral tag so we can understand which app a visit came from. The tag does not include your files, typed text or business records. Read Statcounter’s legal and privacy information for its practices and visitor choices.

Support enquiries

If you email us, we receive your address, message and attachments. We use these to answer your enquiry and troubleshoot issues. Do not send passwords or unnecessary private files. Support email and hosting providers process the information needed to deliver their services. We retain support correspondence while needed to resolve the enquiry and meet applicable obligations; contact us to request access, correction or deletion.

Your choices and retention

App records remain on your Mac until you remove them through the app or remove its local data. Exports and backups remain wherever you save them. Uninstalling an app may leave local records, backups or Keychain entries; contact support for app-specific removal guidance. We do not sell your app files or use them for advertising. Requests about personal information or privacy complaints can be sent to hello@erehwon.com.au.

Third-party destinations

Opening an external website, requesting a download, using connected calendars or making Photos changes can involve the selected provider. Your provider’s privacy policy applies to its service. App Store purchases are processed by Apple; these apps do not receive your payment-card details.

Children and policy updates

The apps are general-purpose tools and are not offered as children’s services. We may update this policy when app behaviour or services change. The effective date identifies the current version.

Content Studio accounts and content

Content Studio is an online service. We store your account email, a password hash, business guidance, website settings, research, drafts, articles, account allowances and audit reports on our hosting infrastructure. Session cookies keep you signed in and protect account actions. Payment identifiers and subscription or pack status are stored to manage access; Stripe handles card details. Operational records help prevent misuse, reconcile billing and investigate failures.

Content Studio AI processing

When you request AI research or writing, business guidance, collected public page text, your brief and article may be sent to OpenAI for processing. API requests disable response storage; provider retention rules still apply. Review information before sending it, avoid unnecessary personal or sensitive data, and check generated content before publishing. Content is not published automatically. Service providers may process information outside Australia.

Google Search Console connections

Connecting Google Search Console is optional. With your authorisation, Content Studio requests read-only Search Console access, verifies access to your selected website property, and retrieves sampled query and page performance, including clicks, impressions, positions and click-through rates. We use this data to show your search performance reviews, content opportunities and relevant audit findings within your account. We store connection tokens encrypted on the server. Google credentials are not sent to the AI provider.

We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising or use it to train general-purpose AI models. Access by the operator is limited to necessary service operation, support, security or legal purposes. Content Studio’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Content Studio retention and your controls

Saved settings, content and reports remain available while your account is retained. Disconnecting a website in Search Intelligence removes its stored Google credentials; saved reviews and audit reports remain in your account. You can also revoke the application’s access through your Google account connections. Disconnecting does not cancel a paid add-on; manage that separately in Billing. To request account deletion, removal of saved Google-derived reports, access or correction, contact hello@erehwon.com.au. Billing records may need to be retained for accounting, disputes or legal obligations. Protected operational backups may retain records until replaced; we do not promise immediate deletion from every backup.
