Privacy Policy

Last updated July 12, 2026. Cut Corners is a Lightroom Classic plugin plus a marketing/checkout site at cutcorners.app — this page covers both.

The plugin

The plugin makes no network requests, ever. Detection runs entirely on your machine against your Lightroom catalog and exported previews; your photos, filenames, and folder structure never leave your computer.

License validation is offline: your key is checked against an embedded formula, not a server. The trial counter (how many images you've cropped on the free tier) is stored locally in Lightroom's plugin preferences and in ~/.cutcorners — nowhere else.

Diagnostics and logging (Plug-in Manager → Cut Corners: Support) are opt-in and write to a local report or log file on your machine only. Cut Corners never sends either one anywhere automatically — if you attach them to a support email, that's you choosing to send them.

The website

cutcorners.app collects a limited amount of data to run checkout and understand traffic:

• Analytics — Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights (pageviews, referrers, performance metrics) and, where configured, PostHog (product events like starting or completing checkout). Both are standard web analytics services and don't identify you personally.
• Payments — purchases are processed by Stripe. We don't see or store your card details; Stripe handles that under its own privacy policy. Your license key is derived from the Stripe checkout session, so no purchase database exists on our end.
• License email — if you buy a license, your email address and key are sent to you via Resend so you have a copy beyond the confirmation page.
• Error tracking — Sentry may capture stack traces from unhandled errors on the website (not the plugin) to help us fix bugs.

None of these services run, and no data is collected, unless the corresponding service is configured with an API key — locally and in preview deploys they no-op.

What we don't collect

No photos or scans, no catalog contents, no plugin telemetry, and no data broker or advertising integrations of any kind.
