What Editmamei does with your data.
Editmamei runs on your own computer and edits inside the Photoshop you already have. The honest version is short: your photos aren't uploaded to us, and the only thing Editmamei sends to its own servers is content-free usage you can audit and turn off. When your AI assistant needs to see an edit, a downscaled preview goes to that assistant, covered below. A formal legal policy lands with the v1.0 launch; this page describes how the product behaves today.
What Editmamei never sends to us
There is one line we don't cross, on any setting:
- Your image and document content. No photos, previews, thumbnails, layer renders, or Photoshop document data are ever sent to Editmamei.
- Your file paths. Full paths stay local; nothing identifies where your work lives on disk.
- Your metadata. Camera info, GPS, and author fields are never part of what the product transmits.
What Editmamei does send
Editmamei is built by a small team, so it sends a thin stream of content-free signals that show what's working and what's breaking. The earlier "no telemetry at all" promise is retired: a licensed product that phones home should say so plainly rather than claim a purity it can't keep. Everything below is anonymous, modelled on how editors like VS Code handle telemetry, and documented field by field.
- Usage and reliability (on by default). Per edit: which tool ran, whether it succeeded, an error category if it didn't, and how long it took. Per session: the Editmamei version, your Photoshop version, your operating system, and a random install ID that counts installs without identifying you. No prompts, no arguments, no content.
- Diagnostics (off until you turn it on). When you opt in, a sanitized error message and the name of the step that failed, so a bug can be traced without you mailing a log by hand. File paths are reduced to bare names; still no image content.
This data goes to our own infrastructure, not a third-party analytics company. You can see the
current settings, and switch usage data off entirely, by editing ~/.editmamei/settings.json or running editmamei config.
The file is plain text and yours to inspect at any time.
Your AI assistant is a cloud service
The AI assistant you drive Editmamei with is a cloud service. When you ask it to look at an image (for example, the visual-verification preview), a downscaled JPEG goes to that AI provider, exactly as if you'd dropped the file into a chat with it. That's a property of using a cloud AI, and a function of which assistant you choose, not a hop Editmamei adds.
