Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to FM Sidekick ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the FM Sidekick website and desktop application.

2. Information We Collect

Personal API Keys: If you use the "Bring Your Own Key" feature in the desktop application, your API keys are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to FM Sidekick servers.

Website usage and performance data: The FM Sidekick website collects aggregated usage and performance information such as visits, page views, referring pages, approximate country or region, device and browser details, and performance signals. In regions where consent is required, analytics cookies are used only after you accept them. If you decline, analytics cookies and analytics storage remain off.

Support requests: If you contact FM Sidekick through GitHub Issues, the information you submit is handled by GitHub and may be publicly visible depending on what you post.

3. Advertising and Cookies

The FM Sidekick website may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics and site features. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. The FM Sidekick desktop application does not use advertising cookies or display ads.

Some third-party services may set or read cookies, collect usage signals, or receive limited device and browser information when their features are active on the website. These services process information according to their own privacy policies.

Where required, the website shows an analytics consent banner that lets you accept or decline analytics cookies. Declining keeps analytics cookies off; accepting lets Google Analytics store analytics cookies. You can reopen cookie settings from the site after making a choice.

4. Third-Party Services

The FM Sidekick website uses service providers for hosting, analytics, performance measurement, support, and site features. These providers may include Vercel, Google Analytics, GitHub, and Grow by Mediavine. If advertising is enabled later, the website may also use Mediavine advertising products. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies. Mediavine's legal and privacy information is available through its Legal & Privacy Center.
