How Kordra handles your information.
This notice explains how we use personal information collected through kordra.io and how Kordra Studio for macOS and Kordra Capture for iPhone handle creative work locally. Kordra Music is a separate service with its own product information.
1. Who is responsible for your information
Godsall.Dev, trading as Kordra, is the controller of personal information collected through kordra.io. Our address is SIU Offices, 4 - 6 Greatorex Street, London, E1 5NF, United Kingdom. You can contact us at hello@kordra.io.
2. What this notice covers
This notice covers the public Kordra company website, including its Journal, Knowledge Base, contact form and optional company and Studio update lists. It also covers the information handling described below for Kordra Studio, our native macOS app, and Kordra Capture, our native iPhone app. Kordra Music is a separate web product at music.kordra.io; its account, billing and product use are governed by information made available in that service.
Kordra Studio for macOS
Kordra Studio is a fully local macOS app. It does not require an account, sign-in, cloud or profile sync service, hosted storage, external checkout, analytics SDK or a live licence check. A writer profile, if you choose to create one, personalises that installation of the app only.
Your songs, project files, recordings and other Studio work remain on your Mac. Kordra Studio does not transmit that material to Kordra. The app asks for microphone permission only when you begin recording audio. It also uses the files you choose to open, save, import or export so it can provide those local functions.
Kordra Capture for iPhone
Kordra Capture is a fully functional, local-first iPhone app. It does not require an account or sign-in and does not use cloud or hosted storage, advertising or analytics SDKs. Your text captures, recordings, context and library records remain on your iPhone. Kordra does not receive that material through the app.
Capture asks for microphone permission only after you choose to record. If you send text or audio to Capture through the iOS share sheet, or save text through a supported App Intent, the selected content is staged and saved locally on the device. Opening Capture through a system action does not start a recording.
Files leave Capture only when you deliberately export or share them. iOS then passes the prepared files to Files, AirDrop or another destination you choose, whose own privacy terms apply. Items moved to Recently Deleted remain locally for up to 30 days unless you restore or permanently delete them sooner.
Spotlight search integration is off by default. If you enable it, Capture adds only approved capture titles, tags and Song Seed titles to the protected on-device index; audio, full text and filenames are excluded.
3. Information we collect and why
When you browse the site
Our hosting and security providers receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages requested, referring URL, date and time, and security or error signals. We use this to deliver the site, keep it secure, prevent abuse, diagnose problems and understand how the public site performs. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the site.
With your consent, we use Google Analytics and Meta Pixel to understand how the public site is used and improve it. These services may collect pseudonymous information about pages viewed, referral source, broad location, browser, device and performance. Our custom conversion events are limited to public placement, product, destination and public article slug; they do not include contact-form content, email addresses, account information or other direct identifiers. We rely on your consent for this analytics processing. You can accept, reject or manage this category at any time through the Cookie & privacy control on the site.
When you contact us
We process the name, email address and message you submit, together with limited technical information used to protect the form from abuse. We use this information to read and respond to your enquiry, keep a reasonable record of the correspondence, and protect the service. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and running the company. We do not use a general enquiry to add you to marketing lists.
When you choose email updates
If you choose to receive Kordra company updates or Kordra Studio development news, we process your email address, the list you joined and your subscription status. We use it to send the updates you requested and manage unsubscribes. We rely on your consent for this electronic marketing. You can withdraw consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before you withdrew it.
4. Who receives your information
We use service providers to operate this website. Depending on the interaction, they include Vercel for hosting and security; Google for Analytics; EmailOctopus for our email-update lists; and our SMTP email provider for delivering contact-form messages to the company inbox. They process information only as needed to provide their services to us or where they have an independent legal obligation.
We may also share information where reasonably necessary to protect the site or people from fraud, abuse or security threats, to comply with the law, or in connection with a reorganisation, sale or transfer of the business. We do not sell personal information.
5. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where a transfer is restricted by UK data-protection law, we use an adequacy regulation or another lawful safeguard, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or approved contractual clauses, and apply any supplementary measures that are appropriate. You can contact us for more information about the relevant safeguard.
6. How long we keep information
We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose described above. This means security and technical records are kept in accordance with our providers’ operational retention settings; contact correspondence is kept while we need it to deal with the enquiry, maintain an appropriate business record or meet a legal obligation; and email-update details are kept until you unsubscribe or we stop sending that type of update. We may keep a minimal suppression record after an unsubscribe so that we can honour your choice.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
We use a strictly necessary cookie named kordra_cookie_preferences to remember your cookie choices for up to 12 months. It supports the Cookie & privacy control and cannot be switched off through that control. If you enable the optional site-measurement category, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel may set analytics or advertising cookies or use similar technologies to measure use of the site. You can accept, reject or manage the optional category at any time using the Cookie & privacy control. Your browser, device or network may still use its own storage or security mechanisms, and third-party websites you visit through our links have their own cookie and privacy practices.
8. Your rights
Subject to the conditions and limits in data-protection law, you can ask us to provide access to your personal information, correct inaccurate information, erase it, restrict or object to our processing, or provide a portable copy where applicable. You can also withdraw marketing consent at any time. To make a request, email hello@kordra.io. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
You have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with how we handle your information. We would appreciate the chance to help first, but you can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
9. Automated decisions and children
We do not make decisions about you solely by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects. This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through it.
10. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice when the site, our processing or the law changes. We will publish the revised version here and update the date below.
