Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 21 June 2026

Inkwell is a decentralized client for the Standard.site ecosystem on the AT Protocol. We believe your data belongs to you.

1. Data Collection & Usage

Inkwell is a localized client application. The developer (Ewan Croft) does not collect, store, or harvest any personal data, analytics, or usage metrics on proprietary servers. All data you read, write, or publish is communicated directly between your device and your authenticated Personal Data Server (PDS) or the wider AT Protocol network.

2. Authentication

Inkwell uses OAuth 2.1 to sign in to your AT Protocol account securely via the system browser. Your OAuth tokens are stored securely on your device using Apple’s native Keychain. Inkwell never sees or stores your account password or app password.

3. Third-Party Services

To function, Inkwell communicates with external services:

• Your PDS & AT Protocol: Standard network infrastructure to fetch and publish your content.
• AT Protocol identity services: Standard DNS and PLC directory lookups for identity resolution.
• Leaflet Search: Used as a cross-platform search index for Standard.site records.

Queries to these public services are subject to their respective privacy and data retention policies.

4. Changes to this Policy

We may update this policy occasionally to reflect new features or App Store requirements. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of these changes.
