Cambric is a desktop book formatting application made for indie authors. We believe your manuscripts and your data belong to you. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we don't touch.
The desktop app
Cambric runs entirely on your machine. Your manuscripts, project files, and exported PDFs and EPUBs are stored locally—on your hard drive, in folders you control. There is no cloud sync, no remote storage, and no telemetry phoning home.
We do not collect any data from the desktop application. We cannot see your files, your writing, or how you use the app. Period.
Website analytics
This marketing website (cambric.pub) uses PostHog for basic analytics. PostHog collects:
- Pages you visit on our site
- Referrer information (how you found us)
- General device and browser information (screen size, browser type, operating system)
- Button and link clicks on the site (autocapture)
This data helps us understand which pages are useful and where visitors get stuck. We do not sell this data to anyone. We do not use it to build advertising profiles.
Cookies
PostHog sets a cookie to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. This is a first-party analytics cookie—it is not shared with ad networks or other third parties. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may also set technical cookies for security and performance purposes (such as bot detection).
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media trackers.
Email collection
If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address. We use it to send you occasional updates about Cambric—product news, new features, that sort of thing. We will not sell or share your email address with third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Payment processing
When you purchase Cambric, your payment is handled by a third-party payment processor. We do not store your credit card number or payment details on our servers. The payment processor may collect information necessary to complete your transaction (name, email, billing address, card details) under their own privacy policy.
Hosting
This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, request timestamps, pages served) as part of operating the infrastructure. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for details.
