Rentalist is a desktop application. The design premise of the product is that your financial data — bookings, expenses, guest information — stays on your computer. This policy explains exactly what information is and isn't transmitted when you use the application.
All of the following is stored locally on your machine and is never transmitted to any server:
Rentalist uses the internet for housekeeping purposes: license validation, retrieving holiday dates, checking for software updates, and fetching the current federal mileage reimbursement rate. These requests transmit only what is necessary for the task — your license key, application version, or a date lookup. They do not transmit any booking records, guest information, financial data, or any other content you have entered into the application.
Your data is never sent over the internet. We don't keep it, see it, or want to. We will never knowingly expose your data outside of your computer.
Rentalist is sold through LemonSqueezy, which acts as the merchant of record. If you purchase directly through rentalist.pro, your payment information is handled entirely by LemonSqueezy and is subject to their privacy policy. Rentalist does not store or have access to your payment details.
If you purchase through the Apple App Store or Microsoft Store, your transaction is governed by Apple's or Microsoft's privacy policy respectively.
This website does not use advertising trackers or third-party analytics. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy to describe what is collected and why.
If you contact us, your message and its contents are received and read by the creator. We don't share support correspondence with anyone else.
Rentalist creates automatic and manual backup files stored on your machine. These files contain all of your application data in JSON format. You control where they are saved — the application's default data directory, or any folder you designate. Backup files are not transmitted to any server.
Rentalist is a financial management tool for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
If the privacy characteristics of the application change materially, this policy will be updated and the change noted in the application release notes.
