Slate is built on a principle that most software ignores: the work you do belongs to you. Your scripts, breakdowns, and production files are never read, analysed, or accessed by Slate — not by our systems, not by our team. We have no technical means of doing so, and that is by design.
We have no technical means of reading your scripts or production files. That is by design — not just policy.
Slate is built as a local-first application. Your screenplay, breakdown data, crew information, and call sheets are stored on your device — not on our servers.
This is not just a policy statement. It is a technical constraint. Slate's architecture does not include any mechanism to read, upload, or transmit the content of your productions.
To operate your Slate account, we collect a minimal set of account-level information — nothing more.
We do not collect your name unless you provide it. We do not collect your phone number, physical address, or any information about your productions.
We do not use your data for advertising. We do not build user profiles. We do not train AI models on your work.
Your account information is used solely to operate and maintain your account, process payments for paid plans, send essential product and security communications, and improve Slate using anonymised aggregate metrics.
We do not use your data for advertising. We do not build user profiles for third-party use. We do not use your data to train AI models.
We do not sell or share your data with any third party for advertising, marketing, or data brokerage purposes. Full stop.
Slate works with a small number of trusted providers to operate the product.

Our core commitment — that Slate cannot and will not read your production content — will not change.
This privacy policy will be updated as Slate's technical infrastructure develops. We will provide more detail about data processing once our full architecture is finalised. We will notify users of any material changes by email before they take effect.
We're happy to explain exactly how Slate handles data. More technical detail will be added as our architecture is finalised. We will always respond within 30 days.
