Cookies

Scrivano does not use tracking cookies for advertising or analytics purposes. Session cookies may be used to maintain your authenticated session while using the web application. Third-party services embedded within the app (such as Stripe for payments) may use their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect functionality.

Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement industry-standard safeguards:

• AES-256 encryption for all sensitive data stored at rest, including API keys.
• TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and our servers.
• Per-user encryption keys ensure that one user's data cannot be accessed by another.
• We acknowledge that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to protect your information.
