Privacy Policy
Effective August 29, 2026. This policy explains what StageDeck processes on this website and in the StageDeck mobile and macOS companion apps.
StageDeck is developed and operated by Lucas Rodrigues. We design the product around local-network control, so the core app workflow does not require a StageDeck cloud account.
1. Scope
This policy applies to stagedeck.app, the launch-updates and support forms, and the StageDeck apps. Store operators, hosting providers, and other services may process information under their own policies when you use their services.
2. Website data
If you request launch updates, the website receives the email address you enter and the selected platform/source fields submitted by the form. The website sends that submission to the configured StageDeck updates mailbox through Resend. This request does not create an app account or sign you into StageDeck, and the current form does not send an automated confirmation email.
If you submit a support request, the website receives the email address, support topic, and message you provide. The request is delivered to the configured StageDeck support mailbox through Resend so the operator can respond. The form does not create an app account or send an automated confirmation email.
The website form endpoints also process basic request metadata, such as the Vercel-provided public client address, user-agent, and timestamps, in memory for rate limiting and abuse prevention. The application does not use that information to build a personal profile. Vercel Firewall may separately observe request signals under the hosting provider's security controls.
Download controls emit a browser event containing the platform, placement, destination URL, and timestamp. The site does not load an analytics vendor by default; if an operator enables a compatible analytics integration, that integration may receive the event under its own privacy policy.
3. App data and local control
- Local discovery and pairing use device and connection metadata needed to find a Mac, confirm trust, and maintain a connection.
- Pairing keys, trust state, app preferences, and recent connection references are stored on the participating devices for app operation.
- Control messages are sent between your mobile device and Mac over the local session. The core workflow is not designed to upload presentation content, keystrokes, or media to a StageDeck cloud service.
- The macOS companion may require Local Network and Accessibility permissions to perform discovery and the actions you request.
4. Third-party services
- Resend delivers launch-update notifications and support requests. Resend may process submitted email, support-message content, and delivery metadata under its privacy policy.
- Apple App Store and Google Play handle purchases, subscriptions, and purchase restoration for their respective platforms. Their terms and privacy policies apply to those transactions.
- Website hosting and delivery providers may process ordinary request and security logs needed to operate the site.
5. Storage and retention
App data remains on your devices until you remove it in the app, reset the relevant pairing, or uninstall the app. The operator may retain an updates or support request for as long as needed to respond, manage launch communications, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes, then remove it. Resend and hosting providers may retain logs according to their own policies.
Rate-limit entries are held only in memory for a running website function instance; they are not intended to be a durable contact database. Instance lifecycle clears them, and inactive entries may be pruned when the bounded store reaches capacity.
6. Security
StageDeck uses HTTPS for website requests, explicit device pairing, and encrypted transport after a session is established. No security measure is perfect, so keep your devices, operating systems, and apps up to date and protect access to them.
7. Your choices
- Do not submit a website form if you do not want its stated information processed.
- Website forms are not accepting submissions during prelaunch.
- Revoke Local Network or Accessibility permissions in your operating-system settings.
- Remove local app data by resetting pairings or uninstalling the apps.
8. Contact and policy updates
Privacy-request intake will open when StageDeck begins accepting website submissions.
