litpm runs on your computer, with no account and no sync service. This page says what it sends, what this site counts, and what the waitlist on this site keeps.
What litpm sends
- Your machine ID, to litpm.app. A one-way hash of your computer's own ID, never a serial number or anything personal. litpm sends it at each start of the app and on the command line's daily check, while the trial runs and for as long as a license key is on the computer; after a trial that ended without a key, only until litpm.app has answered once. litpm.app keeps the hash, when it first saw it and when it last did, and not your IP address. The first date is how a trial runs once per computer; the second is how we count the computers litpm is in use on, and nothing more: not what you do in it, not your issues, not your name.
- Your license key, to Polar. To activate it, and once a day to check it. With it go your system and chip (darwin arm64, say) and the first 6 characters of the machine ID, never your computer's name. Polar sells litpm for us, so what you give it when you buy stays with Polar.
- The update check, to GitHub. The desktop app asks GitHub, where the releases are, for a newer version when it starts and every six hours.
litpm sends nothing else to us or to anyone we work with. It does talk to the git hosts of your own repositories: git fetches and pushes where a folder has a remote, and for a work folder on GitHub or GitLab litpm asks that host for its pull requests. On this site, the download buttons on the home page and on /thanks ask GitHub (api.github.com), from your browser, for the newest release: the name of its installer and, on the home page, its version and the day it came out.
This site
- What is counted
- Which pages are read, and roughly where from. Every page loads a copy of Umami's script from litpm.app itself, and the script sends each page view to litpm.app: the page you are on, the page that linked you here, your browser, your system, your screen size and your language. The query string of a URL is left out.
- How you are counted
- Without a cookie. litpm.app passes the page view, with your IP address, on to Umami Cloud, a service of Umami Software, Inc., which answers with a visitor number: a hash of your address and browser with a salt that Umami rotates, so the number cannot name you, be joined to the waitlist, a trial or a purchase, or follow you to another site. Neither of us keeps the address: Umami keeps the number, and litpm.app keeps a row of its own with the page view, that number, the kind of browser, system and device, and your country as Cloudflare read it off the address. A browser that sends Do Not Track is not counted at all, and neither is a copy of this site at any other address.
- Where it goes
- Umami Cloud keeps six months of it, on servers in the US and the EU, where we read the charts. Our own rows stay in a database at Cloudflare, with no time limit, so the counts outlive Umami. Nobody else sees any of it, and we do not pass it on.
The waitlist
- What we keep
- Your email address, your answers on the form, which page you signed up from, and when. The form sets no cookie, and your IP address is not stored.
- What we do with it
- One link to confirm your address and one email when your build is ready, the same two the form promises. There is no newsletter, and the list is never sold, rented or shared.
- Who touches it
- Cloudflare hosts this site and the database the list is in, and runs the check that tells people from bots, which sees your IP address while it runs. Resend delivers the emails. Nobody else.
- How to leave
- Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes your row rather than flagging it. Or write to [email protected] and it is deleted by hand. An address that is never confirmed is deleted after 30 days.
- Who we are
- litpm is made by supermanagers. Questions about any of this go to [email protected].
