This page describes what the Fontlake app and this website (fontlake.twintype.co) do with information, based on how they work today. Fontlake is made by TwinType Foundry LLC.
The Fontlake app
Fontlake runs entirely on your computer. There is no account or login, so we do not hold any profile about you.
Fonts you import are encrypted and stored on your own device. They are never uploaded to us or to any cloud service. Deleting a font in Fontlake removes only Fontlake's local copy, not your original file.
The app does not include analytics, advertising or crash-reporting code. The device identifier shown in its Protection settings is calculated on your device; the app only displays it and lets you copy it, and does not send it anywhere.
Update checks and downloads
The app checks for new versions by requesting a small manifest file from fontlake.twintype.co. That is the only network request Fontlake makes on its own, and it contains none of your fonts or library data.
When you download an installer from this website, your browser is redirected to GitHub's release hosting.
Like any web request, both reveal your device's IP address to the servers that answer them: Cloudflare, which hosts fontlake.twintype.co, and GitHub. How they handle that data is described in their own policies.
This website
This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising trackers.
The English version loads its typeface (Asap) from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address and browser details when the page loads.
Both language versions load a script from TwinType's own web font service at api.twintype.co. To build a font that contains only the characters a page uses, the script sends that service the website address, a font name and the text that appears on the page (the site's own text, nothing you enter), without cookies. As with any request, your IP address is visible to that service.
The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes standard technical data such as your IP address, browser details and the address you requested in order to deliver and protect it.
Links to other sites
The Instagram, Threads and GitHub links in the footer lead to platforms run by other companies, which are covered by their own privacy policies.
