Vellum runs on your machine. It has no account system and no analytics or tracking pixels. The HTML and CSS you paste, and the designs you produce, never reach us. URL import is the one exception: when a site blocks a direct fetch, the request is relayed through Vellum's proxy server — section 02 sets out exactly what that involves.
This policy describes how the Vellum Figma plugin ("Vellum," "the plugin," "we") handles information when you use it inside Figma. It does not cover Figma itself — your use of Figma is governed by Figma's own privacy policy.
Vellum's job is to read a web layout and recreate it as Figma layers. To do that, it handles the following — most of it without anything leaving your computer.
| Data | Where it goes |
|---|---|
| HTML & CSS you paste or drop | Rendered in a sandboxed frame inside the plugin window, on your machine. Never transmitted to us. |
| URLs you enter | Your browser fetches the address directly. If the site blocks that with a CORS restriction, the request is relayed through Vellum's proxy server, which fetches the page and passes it straight back. The proxy does not store the page or log its contents. |
| Images referenced by the page | Downloaded by your browser from their original hosts, then embedded into your Figma file. Images the browser cannot reach directly are relayed through the same proxy. |
| The designs Vellum produces | Created as native nodes in your Figma document. They belong to you and never touch our systems. |
| License key (Pro users only) | Sent once, over HTTPS, to our payment provider for validation. See section 04. |
Vellum keeps a small amount of state on your device using Figma's clientStorage API. This data lives only on your machine and is not synchronised, shared, or readable by us.
Vellum relies on three external services. We share the minimum required and nothing more.
Because all Vellum data lives on your device, you control it directly. Removing the plugin from Figma, or clearing the plugin's storage, erases the import count and license state. Re-activating Pro restores access on any device with your license key.
If you contacted support by email and want that correspondence deleted, write to the address below and we will remove it.
Vellum is a professional design tool and is not directed at anyone under 16. We do not knowingly process data from children.
If this policy changes, the version number and effective date at the top of this page change with it. Material changes will be noted on the plugin's Figma Community page before they take effect.
