Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Local use

When you use Crit locally (without sharing), no data leaves your machine. Documents and comments are stored only in files on your computer.

Shared reviews

When you share a review, the following is stored on our servers:

• The document content (markdown text)
• Any comments attached to the review
• The time the review was created

This data is accessible to anyone with the share link — a unique, secret URL that serves as the only access control. Anyone who has the link can view the review; there are no passwords or user accounts.

Server logs

Our server records standard HTTP access logs (IP address, timestamp, path, response code). These are used solely for debugging and abuse prevention.

No tracking

We do not use cookies, analytics, advertising trackers, or any third-party data collection tools.

Data retention

Shared reviews are retained for 30 days from the date of last activity, then deleted automatically. Server logs are rotated periodically.
