Private by default.

This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, loads no third-party resources, and has no accounts. Fonts and images are served directly from this site.

If you choose to send a problem report, the plugin name, report, email address, and optional version you enter are sent to a private Sonaurelis response sheet through Google Forms. Nothing is sent before you press Send report, and no Google sign-in is required.

If you join the waitlist, the email address, optional first name, product interest, and optional DAW you enter are sent through this site to a private Google Sheet. Invisible checks use a short-lived, scrambled network identifier to limit spam. It is used only for the one email the form promises, and nothing else. Reply ‘unsubscribe’ and you’re off the list.

If you buy a license, you pay on Stripe’s checkout page, not on this site. Stripe and Link handle the payment, receipt and sales tax. Afterward our license page asks this site’s server to look up that order, so it can show your code with the name and email you gave at checkout. We don’t see your card.

The plugins are built the same way: no cloud, no accounts, no telemetry, no runtime networking. What happens in your studio stays on your machine.

Studio 48 has one optional setting, Share basic use counts, and it’s off unless you turn it on. If you do, the app sends us a few counts through PostHog, our analytics service in the US: when you turn it on, when you save a project you’ve exported a mix from, and when you enter a license. Each count carries a random ID made on your Mac, the app version, your Mac’s chip type and the day you turned it on. PostHog is set to throw away your IP address. Your audio, project, track and file names, folders, name, email and license code are never sent. Turn it off any time in Settings and the random ID and anything not yet sent are deleted from your Mac. Everything in the app works the same either way.

Those deliberate submissions are the site’s only external requests. A report is used to investigate the reported issue and follow up when needed.
