The short version
This is the desktop app's usage data (separate from the website analytics). It is opt-in and off by default: the first time you create or import a deck, Pitch asks once — until you answer, nothing is sent. You can change your mind anytime in Settings → Privacy. Everything below is counts and categories only — never the content of your pitches, and never anything that identifies you.
What's sent
- Which version of Pitch you're on. Each launch records the app version, your CPU architecture (Intel vs Apple Silicon), and whether the Welcome deck is still in your library — so we can see how many people run which version, and whether the Welcome onboarding sticks.
- How many decks you create or share, and the source types in
them. A count when you create or import a deck; the
type of each slide you add (HTML, Markdown, PDF, image,
SVG, Figma, Google Slides, Loom, or a web link); and when you share
a deck, its per-type makeup (e.g.
html:3, pdf:1, figma:1) and slide count — so we learn what people actually build with Pitch.
Never sent
- Your content — slide text, the files themselves, the URLs you reference, slide titles, your notes. None of it leaves your machine.
- Who you are — no account, name, or email. Pitch has no accounts, and nothing collected points back to you.
- File paths — where your files live on disk is never sent.
How it works
When telemetry is on, events go to Google Analytics 4 via its Measurement Protocol, tied to a random, content-free per-install identifier — a UUID generated once on first launch and stored locally. It isn't linked to your identity, your network, or anything you do outside Pitch. IP addresses are anonymized server-side. There is deliberately no "reset ID" button: a random identifier isn't something to manage, and clearing the app's settings regenerates it anyway.
How to turn it off
Choose No thanks when the first-run banner appears, or flip Settings → Privacy off at any time. Off means nothing is sent — ever. Nothing in Pitch depends on telemetry being on.
