Stale is built to need as little of your data as possible. This page explains what happens when you use getstale.dev and the open-source Stale tool.

The Stale tool

When you run Stale yourself, your slide content is sent to Anthropic's Claude API using your own API key, and to the public sources Stale checks citations against. Anthropic's handling of that data is covered by Anthropic's privacy policy. Reports are saved locally on your machine.
