Data Privacy Manifesto
StaticPlay – 2026
1. Privacy Is an Architecture Choice
Privacy is not a toggle. Privacy is not a promise. Privacy is a consequence of design.
StaticPlay is private because it runs locally, not because we say it is.
2. User Intent Is the Only Trigger
Nothing happens unless the user makes it happen.
- No background jobs.
- No silent uploads.
- No “we thought you might like”.
If computation runs, it’s because you pressed the button.
3. Your Data Never Needed Us
We don’t collect your prompts. We don’t see your images. We don’t hear your audio.
We don’t train on your work.
Not because we’re generous — because the system doesn’t require it.
4. Local Means Local
Models run on your hardware. Outputs stay on your disk.
Failures happen on your machine. Successes belong to you.
StaticPlay is a tool, not a pipeline.
5. No Surveillance by Convenience
We reject the idea that analytics are mandatory.
If something phones home, it should be obvious.
If something tracks you, it should be optional.
If something can’t justify itself, it doesn’t ship.
Convenience is not an excuse for surveillance.
6. We Don’t Police Creativity
StaticPlay does not inspect, moderate, or judge what you create.
Tools don’t have opinions. Users have responsibility.
We believe agency beats enforcement every time.
7. You Own the Risk — and the Reward
Local systems are powerful. They can be misused. They can also be trusted.
We choose trust, transparency, and user control over remote safeguards that pretend otherwise.
8. The Safest Data Is Data That Never Leaves
The best privacy policy is not collecting data in the first place.
No databases to breach. No logs to leak. No AI trained on your mistakes.
Just software doing what it says on the tin.
9. No Dark Patterns
No forced accounts. No surprise uploads. No silent changes to terms.
If something changes, we say so.
10. This Is a Line We Won’t Cross
StaticPlay will never:
- Turn local tools into cloud dependencies
- Monetise user data
- Add surveillance “for safety”
- Rewrite history after shipping features
If that ever changes, this manifesto becomes invalid — and that’s intentional.
11. Privacy Is a Default, Not a Feature
You shouldn’t have to opt out. You shouldn’t have to read fine print.
You shouldn’t have to trust us.
You should be able to verify.
