Studiotake-BrandImport

The user agent in your server logs: Studiotake-BrandImport/1.0 (+https://studiotake.app/brand-import)

Studiotake is a Mac app that finishes podcast and video episodes. A studio can type its own website address into the app so that its name, logo, colours and fonts are proposed for its covers. This page explains what that request does. It only happens when someone at the studio asks for it, once, for the address they typed. It is not a crawler and it does not come from our servers: it comes from the computer where the studio runs Studiotake.

What it reads

• /robots.txt first, as Studiotake-BrandImport. Anything it disallows is not read.
• The home page, and at most one “about” page.
• The stylesheets those pages use (at most 8), and the logos, icons and pictures they point to (at most 10 logos and 6 pictures).
• Within limits: 2 MB for a page, 1 MB per stylesheet, 6 MB per picture, 40 MB and 45 seconds for the whole import. It follows at most 5 redirects.

What it does not do

• It does not log in, fill in forms, run your scripts or follow links beyond the pages above.
• It does not copy your web fonts. A font is only looked up on Google Fonts, never taken from your site.
• It does not read private or internal addresses.
• If robots.txt cannot be reached, or answers with a server error, it reads nothing from that site. If it answers 404, it treats the site as having no rules.

What is kept

The studio gets a proposal: a name, a logo, colours and fonts to accept or change. The files stay on the studio’s own computer and are removed after 24 hours. Nothing from your site is sent to us.

How to block it
