StagePaz

Privacy

StagePaz has no accounts, no telemetry, and sends your work nowhere. Your songs, themes and playlists live on your computer, in Documents/StagePaz, and don't leave unless you take them out.

The only things that go out to the network

WhatWhenWhat is sent
Checking for a new versionA few seconds after startup, at most once a day. Never with output screens open or something projected. Can be turned off in Settings → System.Nothing beyond the request itself: your version travels in theUser-Agent header, as in any browser.
Downloading the updateOnly if you ask for it.Nothing.
Downloading a Bible from the catalogueOnly if you open the catalogue and press download.Nothing.
The phone remoteOnly if you turn it on. Off by default.Nothing leaves your local network: the server is yours and only accepts connections from private addresses.

What our server sees

What any web server sees when someone asks it for a file: an IP address, the time, and which file was requested. It isn't cross-referenced with anything, because there is nothing to cross-reference it with — there are no accounts and no install identifiers.

The beta waiting list

If you leave your email, it's kept for one thing: telling you when the beta is downloadable. It isn't sold or shared, and it's deleted when the beta stops being a beta. Write tohola@stagepaz.com and we'll delete it sooner.

The Bibles

Copyrighted versions aren't distributed with StagePaz and don't travel inside backups. Each module carries its attribution and licence, and is downloaded from whoever publishes it.
