Arahne’s Privacy and Usage Policy
Many modern CAD tools have moved toward cloud‑first ecosystems, and plenty of users feel the strain. It’s not just longing for the era when you could save a file to your own drive and know it was yours. The frustration comes from real limitations created by cloud‑only workflows:
The Cloud-Only Trap
Many CAD tools assume you’re always online, but that simply isn’t realistic. Plenty of professionals work in places with weak connectivity or no internet at all, making cloud‑only workflows unworkable.
Loss of Data Ownership
Storing files only on a vendor’s servers means you lose control over storage, backups, access, and portability. Your own work becomes tied to a subscription.
Vendor Lock-in as a Strategy
Cloud‑only systems make it easy for companies to enforce subscriptions, limit exports, restrict interoperability, and push unwanted updates. Switching tools becomes nearly impossible.
Security and Privacy Risks
Engineering files often contain sensitive or regulated information. Some industries can’t legally use third‑party servers, yet many CAD vendors still sideline local storage.
Offline Workflow Still Matters
Many corporations and factories often lack internet or use restricted networks. Cloud‑only CAD simply doesn’t fit these realities.
The Irony of Local Storage
Local storage is simple, reliable, and compatible with cloud sync. It empowers users, but it doesn’t fit the recurring‑revenue model many cloud‑first companies prefer.
Not every company follows this trend. At Arahne, we’ve chosen a different path. We prioritize local data ownership, and our Privacy & Usage Policy makes it clear that users keep full control of their files without being pushed into remote storage. Cloud dependence isn’t a necessity; it’s a business choice, and we’ve made ours in favor of the user.
