Sketch combines broad tracking with unusually strong privacy controls.
Sketch gives users more direct privacy control than its other categories, especially around clear admin controls.
Sketch is weakest on ads and tracking because cookie-based tracking remains part of the product or marketing site, ad personalization or marketing measurement still shows up, and behavioral signals can still travel through analytics or partner tools.

Sketch's privacy statement covers the website, Mac app, Web app, and iOS app in one disclosed data-processing framework.
The privacy statement is detailed about purposes, legal bases, and user rights instead of hiding data use behind generic language.
Sketch does not present itself as a broad AI-training platform and the reviewed privacy source is narrower than many AI-first products.
