Privacy
Last updated 8 November 2026
Sawbench turns a photo of a piece of furniture into a build plan. That requires holding on to a few things about you. This page says exactly which, where they sit, and how to make them go away. It describes what the software actually does — if something here ever stops matching the product, the page is the thing that is wrong.
What is collected
- Your email address. Either because you joined the waitlist, or because you were invited and signed in. Sign-in is a magic link; there is no password, so there is no password to lose.
- The photos you upload, and any notes or constraints you type alongside them.
- The plans generated from them — dimensions, cut list, joinery, lumber, drawings — plus the project name you file them under.
- Ordinary server logs: timestamps, request paths, response codes, and an account identifier. These exist to find faults. Your email address is deliberately kept out of them.
There is no analytics script, no advertising pixel, and no third-party tracker on this site. Nothing follows you off it.
Who else sees it
Three companies, each doing one job:
- Anthropic — your photos and notes are sent to the Claude API, because that is the analysis. Anthropic's API terms state that inputs submitted through it are not used to train their models.
- Supabase — stores your account, your photos and your plans.
The database sits in
ap-south-1(Mumbai). - Fly.io — runs the application itself, in
sin(Singapore).
Nobody else. Your photos and plans are not sold, rented, shared with advertisers, or published. They are not used as examples without you being asked first.
Who can see your plans. Row-level security in the database scopes every
plan to the account that made it, so one user cannot read another's. A
/p/<id> link still requires sign-in as the owner — it is a deep
link, not a public share link.
How long it is kept
Until you delete it. Deleting a plan in the app removes the record and its uploaded photos from storage. Nothing is kept on a schedule you cannot see, and there is no hidden archive.
Waitlist addresses are kept until the waitlist is closed or you ask to be removed.
What you can ask for
Email hello@sawbench.ai and you can have, within 30 days:
- a copy of everything held about you;
- a correction to anything wrong;
- deletion of your account and every plan in it;
- removal from the waitlist.
No reason is required, and asking does not cost you access to anything you have not asked to delete.
Security
Traffic is HTTPS only. Sessions use short-lived signed tokens issued by Supabase. Access is invite-only: an address nobody has invited gets no email and no account. API keys and database credentials live in the host's secret store, never in the code.
None of which is a guarantee — no one honest offers one. If something is ever breached in a way that affects you, you will be told what happened and when, not a paragraph of euphemism.
Children
Sawbench is a tool for woodworking shops and is not directed at children under 16.
Changes
If this page changes in a way that affects what is collected or who sees it, the date at the top changes and anyone with an account is emailed. Quietly editing it is not a thing that will happen.
