WeaverAnt™

Privacy Policy

Effective November 15, 2026. This policy explains what WeaverAnt collects, why, who else handles it, and the choices you have. It covers the website weaverant.app, the web app at app.weaverant.app, and the WeaverAnt apps for iPhone and Android (together, “WeaverAnt”). WeaverAnt is made by WiseIntel LLC (“WiseIntel”, “we”, “us”), a Wisconsin company in the United States.

The short version: no ads, no tracking, and we never sell or share your information for advertising. Your workshop stays on your device unless you sign in to back it up. You can download your data or delete your account at any time.

1. What we collect, and why

Waitlist. If you join the waitlist: your email address, the crafts you picked, the country your request came from (provided by our host, Cloudflare), and when you joined. We use it only to tell you when WeaverAnt launches and to send invites. You can remove your email at any time.

Your account. To sign in we need your email address. We send a one-time code to it; we store only a scrambled (hashed) copy of each code, for up to 10 minutes. When you sign in we keep a session so you stay signed in, also stored only as a hash, with the type of device and browser, for up to 90 days. We keep the name you choose (shown on your share pages and recap videos), your plan and trial dates, and when you accepted the beta tester agreement.

Your workshop. Supplies, storage locations and bins, projects, machines, notes and settings live on your device. When you’re signed in, they’re copied to our servers so they’re backed up and appear on your other devices. Photos you add (receipts, materials, progress shots) are stored privately; only you can see them unless you share a project. You can choose in Settings › Photo storage to keep new photos on your device only.

Share pages. If you share a project, its page is public to anyone with the link: the project name, the progress photos and notes you include, and costs only if you turn them on. Your supplies are never shown. You can turn a link off at any time.

Payments. Paid plans and AI credit packs are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We keep your Stripe customer ID, your plan, whether it’s active, and when it renews.

AI features. If you use WeaverAnt AI, what you ask, the workshop details needed to answer, and any receipt or photo you scan are sent to xAI (the maker of Grok) to produce the answer. xAI is set to keep none of it (“zero data retention”). We record how much AI each request used, not what was said, to track your credits; we keep those records for 13 months. If you connect your own AI account instead, your request passes through our server to the provider you chose, using your key; we don’t store your key or the request, and that provider’s own terms and privacy policy apply. If you use a model on your own computer (Ollama), requests stay on your computer. We do not use your content to train AI models.

Approximate location. If you turn on “My local weather” or use “Radio near you”, our server uses the approximate, city-level location that Cloudflare estimates from your internet address. We round it to about 11 km (7 miles), use it once to look up the weather or nearby stations, and don’t store it. The weather service (MET Norway) and the radio directory (Radio Browser) receive only the rounded location from our server, never your internet address. We never use GPS.

Music. Songs you add stay on your device and are never uploaded. If you connect Apple Music, it works through Apple on your device under Apple’s privacy policy. If you connect Spotify, your Spotify sign-in is kept on your device; our server only holds the one-time sign-in code Spotify sends back, for at most 10 minutes. When you play a radio station, your device connects directly to that station’s stream, so the station sees your internet address, as it would for any listener.

Camera, microphone and your network. The camera is used only while you scan a label or take a photo. The microphone is used only when you turn on voice commands or “Pip listens along”; the sound is analysed on your device and is never recorded or sent to us. Connections to 3D printers and other machines go directly from your device over your network; we only receive what you save to your workshop (such as a printer’s name, address and camera link). An access key a printer gives WeaverAnt, such as OctoPrint’s, stays on the device you approved it on.

Widgets. If you add the WeaverAnt widget to your home screen or lock screen, it shows things like your work timer, what’s printing, supplies running low and your next project. The app prepares this on your device and the widget reads it there; nothing extra is sent to us. Anyone who can see your screen can see the widget, so leave it off the lock screen if you’d rather keep it private. The same goes for print progress on the lock screen (a Live Activity on iPhone, a notification on Android), which you can turn off in Settings › Notifications.

Sales map. If you use the sales map, you record where pieces you made went: the town, state or region and country, and what it was. WeaverAnt never asks for a buyer’s name or street address, so please don’t enter them. Town search runs on your device. Images you share from the map show only states or countries, never towns. Your own town, if you add it, is used to show how far your work has travelled and isn’t shown on shared images.

Work timer and break reminders. The work timer runs on your device, and break reminders are scheduled as notifications on your device, not sent from our servers. When you’re signed in, your reminder preferences are backed up with your other settings. If you tap a delivery button (Uber Eats, DoorDash or Grubhub), WeaverAnt only opens that service’s app or website: we don’t send it any information about you and aren’t paid for the link. That service’s own terms and privacy policy apply to anything you do there.

Technical information. Like any website, our host Cloudflare processes your internet address and basic request details (such as the page requested and your browser type) to deliver WeaverAnt, keep it secure and stop abuse, for example by limiting repeated sign-in attempts. These logs are kept for a few days. We don’t use analytics, advertising trackers or third-party cookies. The web app stores your data in your browser’s storage so it can work offline; that storage is necessary for the app to work and isn’t used to track you.

2. How we use it

We don’t sell your personal information, we don’t share it for targeted advertising, and we don’t show ads.

3. Who else handles it

We use a small number of service providers, each only to run WeaverAnt and under its own privacy and security commitments:

We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect people’s safety or our rights, or as part of a merger or sale of WeaverAnt, in which case this policy would continue to apply to your information.

4. How long we keep it

5. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have further rights, such as to access, correct, delete or port your information, to object to or restrict some uses, and to withdraw consent. Residents of California and other US states with privacy laws have the right to know, correct and delete their information and to opt out of its sale or sharing (we don’t sell or share it). We won’t treat you differently for using these rights. To use any of them, email privacy@weaverant.app. We’ll confirm it’s you (usually by replying to your account’s email address) and answer within 30 days. If we can’t help, you can appeal by replying to our answer.

If you’re in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on these legal bases: providing the service you asked for (contract); keeping WeaverAnt secure and working well (legitimate interests); your consent for optional features such as location-based weather, the microphone and connected services; and legal obligations. You can complain to your local data protection authority.

6. Children

WeaverAnt isn’t meant for children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA and UK), and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, email privacy@weaverant.app and we’ll delete it.

7. Security

Information travels encrypted (HTTPS). Sign-in codes and sessions are stored only as hashes, photos are private to your account, and access to our systems is limited. No system is perfectly secure, so please keep access to your email account safe, since it’s how you sign in. If a breach affects your information, we’ll tell you as the law requires.

8. Where your information is processed

WeaverAnt is run from the United States, and our providers may process information in other countries where they operate. Where the law requires it, these transfers are protected by safeguards such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we’ll tell you in the app or by email before the change takes effect. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
