The short version. Adam Studio runs on your Mac. Your samples, your projects and your music never leave it. We do not track what you make and we cannot hear your work. The only account that exists is the buyer account that hands you your licence key.

What the app sends, and when

Adam Studio makes exactly two kinds of network request, and neither carries your music.

An update check. Once a few seconds after launch, the app fetches a small public file from this website to see whether a newer version exists. The request contains no identifier of any kind — not your licence, not your machine, not even the version you are running. We can count how many times that file is fetched; we cannot tell who fetched it. That same file also carries the list of cancelled licence keys.
The AI features, only if you switch them on. These are off until you enter an API key of your own from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google. When they run, the app sends text only — the words you typed, and file names from your sample folders — to the provider whose key you entered. It goes to them directly, never through us. No audio is ever uploaded. There is no code path in the app that opens a sample file for sending; the part that reads your library is handed file names and nothing else. The app works without an API key, and nothing is disabled if you never add one.

What is stored on your Mac

Your projects, wherever you save them. They are plain readable files and they are yours.
Your settings and your sample tags, in your Application Support folder.
Your licence key, as a file. It is a signed receipt, not a secret — copy it to your other Mac freely.
Your AI API key, in the macOS Keychain. Encrypted by macOS and unlocked with your login. It is never written to a settings file, never printed to a log, never included in a diagnostic dump, and never sent anywhere except the provider it belongs to. If you had a key stored by an older version of Adam Studio, it is moved into the Keychain and erased from disk the next time you open the app.

What we hold

When you buy Adam Studio we keep what is needed to have sold you something: your name and email address, the licence key issued to you, and the date. We use it to send you your key, to help you if something goes wrong, and to tell you about updates to the app. We do not sell it, we do not share it for marketing, and we do not add you to anything you did not ask for.

Payments are handled by PayPal, or arrive as a crypto payment you send directly. Your card or account details go to PayPal and never to us — we never see them and never store them. What we do keep is the order reference PayPal hands back and the amount, so that a payment can be matched to the licence it paid for, and refunded if you ask.

Your buyer account

The account is opened at the checkout, before you pay rather than after, and that order is deliberate: your licence key is issued in your name to that address and cannot be reissued to an address you mistyped. It holds exactly what the paragraph above lists — your name, email address, order reference, licence key and purchase date — and nothing accumulates in it afterwards: no activity, no usage, no history. If you start a checkout and do not finish it, the account simply sits there empty; write to us and we will delete it.

You sign in with a link sent to your email address; there is no password for anyone to steal. If you sign in with Google instead, Google confirms to us that the address is yours and passes on your name and email address — nothing else, and we ask for nothing else. Download links are personal and expire within minutes of being issued.

The account system runs on Supabase and this website is served by Vercel — two providers that hold that data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for anything of their own. The app never talks to your account. Your licence is verified on your own Mac, offline; if this website disappeared tomorrow, your copy would keep working.

No analytics in the app; counted pages on the site

The app contains no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting and no advertising identifiers. This website sets no cookies. It counts page views with Vercel Web Analytics — anonymous, cookieless counts of which pages were seen, with nothing that identifies you and nothing that follows you to other sites.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Deleting it does not switch off software you have already bought — your licence keeps working, because it is verified on your own machine rather than looked up on ours. Write to the address below.
