CMO (FrenoCorp) db3e695ecf privacy: fire the contingency — swap (b) and the iPhone paragraph to the opt-in form
v0.15.1 (2026-11-04) is the first release tag containing FRE-355's merge
6e74b261, and the live appcast serves v0.15.2. The page's own Contingency
made the always-on (b) conditional on no release shipping FRE-355; that
condition no longer holds, so the always-on text would be false on the
build the page deploys with.

Swap applied with two corrections against the pre-written contingency
text, both measured in the shipped starter (Sources/NookApp/main.swift,
CrashReporting.onTracesSampleRate):

- session pings and performance traces (0.1) still flow while enabled,
  so they are named — the contingency's own completeness warning;
- sendDefaultPii = false means no IP is attached, so the swap text's
  'Sentry also receives your IP address' is dropped, not kept.

iPhone paragraph corrected the same way (iOS gates identically:
ios/AgentNookMobile/App.swift startIfEnabled, SettingsView default off).
Last Updated -> November 6, 2026. privacy-page.patch regenerated
(c1c498e..branch); draft sequencing/evidence rows updated.

/**
* The Nook privacy policy — `nook.freno.me/privacy`.
*
- * Reflects the actual data The Nook sends when licensing: a masked hardware
- * UUID + device name for trial/activation limits, the email used for purchase,
- * and Stripe payment processing.
+ * Every statement on this page is traced to the egress inventory at
+ * `The-Nook` HEAD (FRE-333, `document-egress-inventory`): eleven internet
+ * destinations, file:line evidence per row. When the app's egress changes,
+ * this page changes in the same commit — not later.
+ *
+ * The crash-reporting paragraphs ((b) and the iPhone companion) describe the
+ * build users run today: crash reporting is opt-in, off by default, on
+ * releases v0.15.1 and later — FRE-355 (merge `6e74b261`) first shipped in
+ * `v0.15.1` (2026-11-04), and the live appcast serves `v0.15.2`. When enabled,
+ * Sentry receives crash and error reports, session pings, and performance
+ * traces at a 0.1 sample rate (`tracesSampleRate = 0.1`), and no IP address is
+ * attached (`sendDefaultPii = false`, `Sources/NookApp/main.swift` and
+ * `Sources/NookCore/System/CrashReporting.swift`). Builds before `v0.15.1`
+ * started Sentry on every launch with `sendDefaultPii = true` and no off
+ * switch; this page describes the current release.
+ *
+ * The *Contingency* in `marketing/drafts/privacy-page.md` fired with `v0.15.1`
+ * and is applied in this commit, with two corrections against the pre-written
+ * swap text: the shipped build still sends session pings and traces while
+ * enabled, so they are named (the contingency's own completeness warning), and
+ * `sendDefaultPii = false` means the IP sentence is dropped rather than kept.
+ *
+ * Corrected against the CTO's /privacy verdict (FRE-354): no macOS username
+ * from Sentry (sendDefaultPii sets the IP only), session pings named, (a)
+ * fail-open scoped, (c) relay-path qualified with the direct-pair sentence,
+ * (j) "not a cloud service" with the tailnet path, the iPhone paragraph added
+ * (TestFlight beta is in users' hands), and section 3 says "content".

- Welcome to The Nook (&apos;We&apos;, &apos;Us&apos;, &apos;Our&apos;).
- Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what we collect,
- why, and how it is handled. The app itself runs locally on your device
- and sends only the minimal data required for trial and licensing.
+ The Nook runs on your Mac, and the iPhone and Apple Watch companion
+ is in TestFlight beta. Your prompts, your code and your agent
+ sessions are processed on your own devices. This page lists every
+ connection the apps make over the internet — and the local-network
+ and tailnet paths the phone can use — what each one sends, and
+ whether you can turn it off.

- <span class="-ml-4 pr-2">1.</span> Data We Collect
+ <span class="-ml-4 pr-2">1.</span> What leaves your devices
</div>
<div class="pl-4">
<div class="pb-2">
- <div class="-ml-6">(a) Device hardware UUID:</div> When you start
- a trial or activate a license, The Nook sends a hardware UUID
- from your Mac. It is used solely to enforce the 14-day trial and
- the 3-device activation limit, and to prevent resetting the
- trial by reinstalling the app.
+ <div class="-ml-6">(a) Licensing and trial:</div> When you start
+ a trial or activate a license, The Nook sends your Mac&apos;s
+ hardware UUID and device name to our licensing server
+ (freno.me). The UUID enforces the 14-day trial and the 3-device
+ activation limit and stops a trial being reset by reinstalling
+ the app; the device name is stored with the activation so the
+ Mac can be identified in your license records. While you are on
+ the trial, this is sent at each launch. Once you are licensed,
+ each launch re-checks only that your key has not been revoked.
+ Deactivating a Mac sends the license key and that Mac&apos;s
+ UUID. If you add an email during the trial, that request
+ carries the email and the UUID, and it is sent once. The trial
+ and status checks fail open: with no connection, an unexpired
+ trial or a stored license keeps working, because license
+ verification itself is offline. Activating a new license needs
+ a connection once.
+ </div>
+ <div class="pb-2">
+ <div class="-ml-6">(b) Crash and error reporting — off unless
+ you turn it on:</div> Crash reporting is off by default and
+ runs only if you enable it in Settings. When it is on, The Nook
+ sends crash reports, error events, hang reports, session pings,
+ and a sample of performance traces to Sentry, our
+ crash-reporting processor. Each report carries the app version,
+ the macOS version, the Mac model and what the app was doing
+ when it failed. Your IP address is not attached to the reports.
+ They never include your prompts, your code or your session
+ content.
+ </div>
+ <div class="pb-2">
+ <div class="-ml-6">(c) Phone connection:</div> The phone
+ connection ships off and is yours to enable. With the default
+ relay path, turning it on registers your Mac with our relay
+ (nook-relay.freno.me) using a random install ID, and a licensed
+ Mac presents its license key once at registration. Everything
+ your Mac and your phone then exchange — session updates,
+ approvals, replies — is encrypted end-to-end: the relay routes
+ it and cannot read it. On the relay path, the relay can see
+ which devices are connected — their IDs, names and platforms —
+ when, and how much traffic they exchange.
+ </div>
+ <div class="pb-2">
+ You can also pair over your LAN or tailnet instead; those paths
+ carry the same sealed traffic and do not use the relay.
+ </div>
+ <div class="pb-2">
+ <div class="-ml-6">(d) Weather:</div> If you add the Weather
+ module, your Mac asks our relay for forecasts using coordinates
+ rounded to a 0.1° grid — about 11 km — and the rounding happens
+ on your Mac before anything is sent. The Weather module
+ registers with the relay for this even if you never turn on the
+ phone connection, and on a licensed Mac that registration
+ presents the license key, exactly as the phone connection&apos;s
+ does. &quot;My Location&quot; asks macOS for your
+ approximate position, and naming or searching for a place uses
+ Apple&apos;s Maps service, so Apple sees those lookups. Neither
+ feature sends us your precise location.
+ </div>
+ <div class="pb-2">
+ <div class="-ml-6">(e) The Network panel:</div> While the
+ Network panel&apos;s connection section is on screen, The Nook
+ asks a third-party IP-lookup service (get.geojs.io, with
+ ipwho.is as backup) what your public IP address and provider
+ are — that is how the panel can show them to you. Those services
+ necessarily see your IP address. The speed-test button measures
+ against Cloudflare&apos;s public speed endpoint and uploads only
+ zeros, never your data.
+ </div>
+ <div class="pb-2">
+ <div class="-ml-6">(f) Update checks:</div> Automatic update
+ checks ship off. If you turn them on, or press &quot;Check for
+ Updates&quot;, The Nook fetches the update feed from freno.me
+ and the request carries your app version. Like every request on
+ this page, it also arrives from your IP address.
+ </div>
+ <div class="pb-2">
+ <div class="-ml-6">(g) Changelog:</div> Opening Settings ›
+ Changelog fetches the release notes from freno.me.
+ </div>
+ <div class="pb-2">
+ <div class="-ml-6">(h) Bug reports:</div> only what you choose
+ to send. If you write a bug report, you decide what it says.
+ Bug reports also include a machine snapshot — macOS version, Mac
+ model, CPU, memory, free disk, locale, and your displays&apos;
+ names and resolutions — so the problem can be reproduced. The
+ optional contact email is used only to reply to you.
</div>
<div class="pb-2">
- <div class="-ml-6">(b) Device name:</div> The Nook sends your
- Mac&apos;s name so you can recognize the device in your license
- activations. It is not used for any other purpose.
+ <div class="-ml-6">(i) Your email and payment:</div> The email
+ you give at checkout delivers your license key and looks up your
+ order. An email you add during the trial is used for one
+ reminder before the trial ends. Payments are processed by
+ Stripe; we never see or store your card details.
</div>
<div class="pb-2">
- <div class="-ml-6">(c) Email:</div> The email you provide at
- checkout is used to deliver your license key and to look up your
- order.
+ <div class="-ml-6">(j) What does not leave your Mac:</div> The
+ hook and the bridge that connect your agents to The Nook are
+ not a cloud service: the hook dials the bridge on your Mac, and
+ the bridge only listens. Two paths carry agent data across the
+ network, and both are switched on by you: if you add a remote
+ machine, the hook on that machine dials this Mac over SSH or
+ your tailnet; and if you use the phone connection, the session
+ updates, approvals and replies described in (c) travel through
+ the relay, sealed end to end. The privileged helper that
+ controls fans and charging has no networking code at all.
</div>
<div class="pb-2">
- <div class="-ml-6">(d) Payment:</div> Payments are processed by
- Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
+ <div class="-ml-6">The iPhone companion.</div> The iPhone and
+ Apple Watch app is in TestFlight beta. Its crash reporting is
+ the same opt-in: off unless you turn it on in its settings.
+ When it is on, it sends crash reports, session pings and a
+ sample of performance traces to Sentry — the app version, the
+ iOS version and the iPhone model, with no IP address attached.
+ Those reports never include your prompts, code or session
+ content.
+ Its other network traffic is the phone connection in (c) — the
+ relay, or a direct LAN/tailnet link — plus, if you allow
+ notifications, the push token it gives the relay so Apple can
+ deliver them.
