Privacy and local data
The application is designed to work without an account, analytics, upload, or runtime API.
What stays local
Script text, cue records, take notes, filenames, pickup rounds, header metadata, and delivery freezes are stored in the current browser profile through IndexedDB. Audio bytes and paths are not stored.
Network posture
The packaged application requires no runtime API, analytics, ads, remote fonts, or remote AI. Its content security policy blocks connections. A hosting provider may still log ordinary web requests for static files.
Backups and deletion
Browser storage can be cleared by the browser, operating system, or user. Download checkpoints regularly. Archiving is recoverable; explicitly removing an unreadable record is not.
Worked example
Load the Orchard Signal evaluation with the browser network panel open and work all nine stations, including the audio preflight over a folder of local files, and the panel records nothing after the initial page and module loads. There is no analytics call, no remote font, no error beacon and no upload, because the packaged content policy blocks connections outright and the runtime contains no code that would use one.
The preflight is the case worth understanding. You choose local files, the browser reads a bounded slice from the front of each one, and the observation is kept only if you asked for scan results to be retained. The audio bytes are never stored and neither is the file path.
Method
Script text, cue records, take notes, filenames, pickup rounds, header observations and delivery freezes live in IndexedDB in the current browser profile, with a session-only fallback when that storage cannot open. There is no account, no sign-in and no server-side copy.
A static host can still log ordinary web requests for the files that make up the application, in the same way it logs any request for any static page. That is outside the application, and it never carries your project data.
What this does not do
- Browser storage can be cleared by the browser, the operating system or the user without warning.
- The application cannot protect a shared device, an unencrypted disk or a device backup service.
- Archiving a record is recoverable; explicitly removing an unreadable record is not.
Do this in the app
Treat checkpoints as the durable copy and browser storage as the working copy.
- Open station 09 Projects and download a checkpoint before a long session.
- Keep script and audio source files under your own control, separately.
- Remove projects you no longer need rather than leaving them in the profile.
