This page covers two things: this website and its waitlist, and the palette app for Mac, which is in early access. If something here is unclear, write to us at the address under Contact.

The waitlist

• What we collect. The email address you type into the form, and when you signed up. Nothing else.
• Where it's kept. With Google, in a Google Sheet that only we can open.
• What we use it for. To email you about the palette launch and your early-access invite. We don't sell it or share it for advertising.
• How long we keep it. Until the launch emails are done, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first.
• Deleting it. Email us at the address under Contact, or use the unsubscribe link in any email we send.

This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. It loads its font from Google Fonts, so Google sees your IP address when the page loads. The company hosting the site may keep standard access logs.

The palette app

What it reads. When you open palette, it reads the text of what's under your pointer, so it can offer the right actions. It never reads a password field or any other secure field.

What's stored on your Mac.

• The details you save for filling in forms.
• Your calendar events, which palette reads from your Mac's calendar.
• The keys for apps you connect, in the macOS Keychain.
• Text and links you copy, only if you turn on clipboard history. Passwords and keys are never saved.
• A usage log of counts, only if you turn it on.

palette's own service runs on your Mac and starts with the app.

What's sent to the AI model. To write a reply, answer a question or fill in a form, palette sends an AI model provider the text that task needs:

• the text under your pointer, for Ask and Reply;
• your saved details, when you fill in a form;
• free and busy times around a date in a message, when drafting a reply (never what an event is called or who is in it);
• the text of a résumé, once, if you import one to fill in your details.

Which provider palette uses, and whether the model runs on a server or on your Mac, isn't settled yet. This page will name it before the app launches.

Apps you connect. Apps such as Apollo or Linear get nothing until you tap their bubble. Then they get what that one action needs, and anything they would create is shown to you before it's made.

Logs. palette's logs and error messages hold no text you wrote, no field values, no app names and no addresses.

We don't sell your data.

Changes

We'll update this page as palette changes, and change the date at the top when we do.
