Staylit and your privacy

This page sums up what Staylit does with your data. The Hedgerow privacy policy covers every app, the website and purchases in full.

What stays on your PC

• Settings and data live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hedgerow\Staylit on your PC.
• Your settings and trigger list.
• A trial start date in the registry under your user account (Direct edition).

When Staylit goes online

• License activation (Direct edition): when you enter a key, Staylit sends the key, your PC’s name, the app’s name and an anonymous device ID to our license server. About once a week it checks the license again, sending the key and the activation’s ID.
• Update checks (Direct edition): only when you choose Check for updates. The request includes the app’s name and version, nothing else.
• Crash reports: off unless you turn them on. If Staylit crashes, it saves a report on your PC; with reports turned on it also sends that report, with file paths removed, to crash.hedgerowapps.com.

There are no ads, and no analytics or usage tracking.

Microsoft Store edition

The Store edition doesn’t contact our license server or check for updates itself: Microsoft handles the purchase, the license and updates, under Microsoft’s privacy statement.
