Privacy Policy
ArtDrop™ ships in two tiers, a hosted web app at $39/mo and a native Mac app at $399 one-time, and the privacy posture differs slightly between them. We do not run analytics or telemetry inside the app itself in either tier, we do not sell or share your data, and we do not train AI models on your work. This policy explains exactly what data we receive in each tier and why.
1. Who We Are
ArtDrop is software developed and sold by StanHattie LLC ("we," "us," "our"). Our website is getartdrop.com. Contact: support@getartdrop.com
2. How ArtDrop Runs (Web vs Mac)
Mac app ($399 one-time). ArtDrop installs and runs entirely on your Mac. Your artwork, product descriptions, API keys, configuration files, and business data all stay on your computer. API calls go directly from your machine to the services you configured (Shopify, your print providers, Anthropic, Backblaze). Nothing is sent to StanHattie servers during normal use except license validation.
Web app ($39/mo). ArtDrop runs as a hosted web application on infrastructure operated by StanHattie LLC (currently Railway). Your account configuration, including encrypted API keys, is stored in our database so the server can run drops on your behalf. When you upload artwork, files pass through ArtDrop only long enough to reach your storage backend (e.g. Backblaze B2) and your providers, they are not retained by us beyond that. There are no analytics, telemetry, or behavioral tracking inside the app itself.
Both tiers: no public dashboard, no admin login that lets third parties see your account, no resale of your data, no AI training on your artwork, ever.
3. What We Actually Receive
Mac app, the only data StanHattie LLC receives is:
License activation
- Machine fingerprint hash, a one-way hash of hardware identifiers, generated when you activate your license. Used solely to enforce the machine limit on your license. It cannot identify your computer to anyone.
- License key, the activation key issued to you at purchase
- Activation timestamps, when your license was activated and last validated
Web app, additionally, we receive and store:
- Your account email and authenticated session
- The configuration you save (encrypted API keys, voice/copy rules, store and provider connections, template settings)
- Operational logs needed to run drops and diagnose failures (request IDs, error traces, no artwork content)
Purchase information (via Stripe)
- Name and email, provided at checkout, used to deliver your license key or provision your web subscription and to provide support
That is the complete list. We do not collect anything else.
We never train AI models on your artwork. We never sell or share your account data with third parties. We never access your account except as needed to provide support that you have explicitly requested.
4. Your API Keys
Mac app. When you connect services like Anthropic, Gelato, Printful, Printify, Shopify, or Backblaze, ArtDrop stores your API keys in a local configuration file on your computer. These keys are never transmitted to StanHattie LLC. All API calls go directly from your machine to the service you configured.
Web app. Your API keys are encrypted at rest in our database and used only to run your drops. They are not sold, shared, used for any purpose other than executing the workflows you have configured, or accessible via any public dashboard. If you cancel your subscription, you can request deletion of your stored keys at any time at support@getartdrop.com.
5. AI Copy Generation (Anthropic)
When you use ArtDrop's AI features, the app sends your artwork image and your voice/copy rules directly from your machine to Anthropic's API. Anthropic analyzes the image and generates product titles, descriptions, and SEO tags. This is the only external data transmission during normal use besides the print provider and Shopify API calls you explicitly configure.
What gets sent to Anthropic:
- Your artwork image (for visual analysis)
- Your voice rules (so the copy sounds like you)
- Basic context like your artist name and artwork type
What does not get sent:
- Your API keys
- Financial data
- Customer information
- Store analytics or sales data
No data passes through StanHattie LLC servers at any point. The call goes directly from your machine to Anthropic. StanHattie LLC does not operate application servers, databases, or cloud infrastructure. We don't have a data pipeline. We don't have a dashboard that shows us your activity. We sell a downloadable desktop application and a license key, that's it. There is no backend to harvest data with, even if we wanted to.
Per Anthropic's terms of service, Anthropic does not train on API data. Anthropic deletes API request logs within 30 days. You can review their data policies at anthropic.com/policies.
If you prefer not to use AI, you can disable it in Settings and write all product copy manually. ArtDrop will still handle file processing, product creation, and publishing, you just provide the titles, descriptions, and tags yourself.
6. Subprocessors and Third-Party Services
ArtDrop relies on the third-party services below to operate. Each service has its own privacy policy and acts as a subprocessor for the limited data described:

- Anthropic (anthropic.com/policies), AI copy generation, as described in Section 5 above.
- Gelato, Printful, Printify, Prodigi, Gooten, if you configure a print-on-demand provider, your product data goes directly from your machine (or, on the web app, from our backend) to that provider.
- Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, if you connect a storefront, product data is sent directly to that platform.
- Backblaze B2 (backblaze.com), if you use Backblaze for image hosting, files go directly from your machine to your Backblaze bucket.
- Railway (railway.com), hosts the ArtDrop web application backend and the license activation server in the United States.

We do not share your data with any other third parties. We do not sell your data. We will never sell your data. We will never use your purchase information to market to you, profile you, or share it with anyone outside the subprocessors above. We do not use advertising cookies.

7. Website Analytics
The getartdrop.com website uses Microsoft Clarity, a free analytics service, to understand how visitors interact with our marketing pages. Clarity collects anonymous interaction data such as clicks, scrolls, and page visits. It does not collect personal information, does not use advertising cookies, and automatically masks any text entered into form fields. No Clarity data is shared with advertisers or sold to third parties.
This applies only to the getartdrop.com marketing website. The ArtDrop desktop application contains no analytics, no telemetry, and no tracking of any kind.
You can learn more about Clarity's data practices at clarity.microsoft.com/terms.
8. Cookies
ArtDrop is a desktop application, there are no cookies. The getartdrop.com website uses a small number of functional cookies from our hosting provider (Cloudflare) required for site delivery, and a session cookie from Microsoft Clarity for anonymous analytics as described in Section 7. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies.
9. Email Communications
When you purchase ArtDrop, we may send occasional product updates and feature announcements to the email address used at checkout. These emails are infrequent, only when there's something genuinely worth sharing. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. We will never share, sell, or rent your email address to anyone. If you unsubscribe, you're off the list immediately. We respect your inbox the same way we respect your data.
10. How We Use the Data We Have
- Delivering your license key and download link via email
- Activating and validating your license
- Enforcing the machine limit on your license
- Providing customer support when you contact us

That is all. We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any other purpose.
11. Where Your Data Is Stored
License activation data is stored in a database hosted by Railway (railway.app) in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, your license data is transferred to and processed in the United States.
12. Data Retention
We retain your license data for as long as your license is active. If you request deletion, we will remove your name, email, and machine fingerprint within 30 days and deactivate your license. Transaction records (key issued, date) may be retained for up to 3 years for accounting purposes.
