Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 9, 2026

1. Who We Are

WrittaShot is developed and published by Dotting S.R.L. ("we", "us", "our"). This privacy policy explains how we handle data in connection with the WrittaShot desktop application and the writtashot.com website.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

WrittaShot is designed with privacy in mind. We do not:

• Store your screenplays, projects, or creative work on our servers
• Require user accounts or registration to use the application
• Track your usage behavior or collect analytics within the app
• Sell or share personal data with third parties for advertising

3. Local Data Storage

All your projects, screenplays, shot lists, and character profiles are stored locally on your device. WrittaShot does not sync to any cloud service. You are responsible for backing up your own data.

4. License Validation

When you activate or validate your WrittaShot license, the application communicates with Lemon Squeezy (our payment and licensing provider) to verify your license key. This process transmits:

• Your license key
• A unique instance identifier for your installation

This data is processed by Lemon Squeezy under their own privacy policy. No screenplay content or personal files are sent during license validation.

5. AI Features (Optional)

WrittaShot offers optional AI-powered features (shot breakdowns, prompt generation) that use the Anthropic Claude API. These features are entirely opt-in.

When you use AI features:

• Relevant scene content is sent directly to Anthropic's API for processing
• If you use your own API key (BYOK), communication is between your device and Anthropic — we are not involved
• If you use our credit plan, requests are routed through our proxy server, but we do not log or store your screenplay content

Anthropic's handling of data sent to their API is governed by Anthropic's privacy policy.

6. Error Reporting (Optional)

WrittaShot includes an opt-in error reporting feature powered by a self-hosted GlitchTip instance. When enabled, crash reports may include:

• Error messages and stack traces
• Application version
• Operating system type

Before sending, we scrub personally identifiable information from file paths (e.g., your home directory is replaced with ~). No screenplay content, project data, or personal files are included in error reports. You can disable error reporting at any time in the application settings.

7. Website & Cookies

The writtashot.com website is a static site. All fonts and assets are self-hosted. We do not use analytics, profiling, or advertising cookies.

Necessary cookies (always active, exempt from consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive):

• Consent record (ws_cookie_consent) — stores your cookie preferences. Duration: 1 year.
• Language preference (ws_language) — remembers your chosen language so you are redirected to the correct version on your next visit. Duration: 1 year.

Third-party / Embedded content cookies (require your consent):

• YouTube — Our homepage includes an embedded YouTube video. If you accept third-party cookies, the video loads directly on the page. YouTube (Google) may set its own cookies to track video interactions. If you reject third-party cookies, the video is not loaded and a placeholder is shown instead with a link to watch directly on YouTube. For details, see Google's Privacy Policy.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie button (🍪) in the bottom-right corner of any page. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings.

8. Payments

Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as Merchant of Record. We do not directly collect or store your payment information (credit card numbers, billing details). Lemon Squeezy handles all payment processing under their own privacy policy and PCI compliance.

9. Your Rights

Since we do not collect or store personal data beyond what is described above, there is generally no personal data for us to delete or provide. However, if you have questions about your data or wish to exercise any rights under applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR), please contact us.

10. Children's Privacy

WrittaShot is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of WrittaShot after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
