Effective August 27, 2026

Privacy, in plain terms.

Sidecar Ledger’s CLI runs entirely on your computer. It has no telemetry or network client. Image bytes, filenames, EXIF, XMP values, and reports are never sent to us.

The website

The route demo is computed in your browser and does not inspect files. The site uses no analytics, advertising cookies, or third-party runtime scripts. Its service worker keeps a local copy of public site assets so documentation works offline.

Licenses

If you buy or restore Pro, the site stores the license token and a time-stamped verification result in your browser’s local storage. The token is sent only to the Sociobot billing API when verification is due, at most once per day. It is never joined with photo metadata.

Checkout is hosted by Sociobot/Dodo, the merchant of record. Their transaction records are governed by the privacy notices shown during checkout. Sidecar Ledger does not receive card details.

Your control

You can remove the stored token with “Remove license from this browser” in the Pro panel, or clear this site’s browser storage. Uninstalling the CLI removes all executable code; it leaves your photographs untouched.
