Privacy Policy

Deftbox is a native macOS application designed to run entirely on your device. We do not operate analytics, advertising, or telemetry servers, and we do not collect, store, or transmit data about how you use the app.

What stays on your device. All preferences—learned input-method habits, Finder templates, mouse rules, clipboard history, and other configuration—are written to your local user defaults and the app's App Group container on your Mac. They are never uploaded.

System permissions. Deftbox asks for a small set of macOS permissions, used only locally and only to deliver the corresponding feature. Accessibility lets the main app switch the system input source. Input Monitoring powers click bindings, gestures, and smooth scrolling. Finder Sync provides the right-click templates and "Open With" entries inside Finder. None of these permissions are used to record keystrokes, capture screen content, monitor browsing, or send anything to us.

Data we do not collect. We do not collect file contents, file paths, keystrokes, clipboard data, application usage statistics, browsing history, or network activity. We do not collect any personally identifying information.

Purchases. Deftbox is paid software sold exclusively through the Mac App Store. Your purchase is processed entirely by Apple under Apple's own privacy policy — we never receive your name, email address, or payment details. There is no account to create and no license server; the App Store receipt on your Mac is the only proof of purchase the app relies on, and it is checked locally.

Crash reports. If you enable "Share crash reports with app developers" in macOS System Settings, Apple may forward anonymized crash logs to us through Apple Developer Services. We do not initiate or solicit these reports, and we use them only to diagnose and fix bugs. Apple's privacy practices govern what is shared with developers; you can review or change this setting in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.

No sale of personal information. We do not sell, rent, or trade any data for advertising or marketing purposes.

This website. deftbox.app does not set tracking cookies, does not use third-party analytics, and does not profile its visitors.

Children. Deftbox is not directed at children under 13, or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Your rights. Because we do not collect personal data, there is essentially nothing to access, export, or delete. Nothing in this Policy limits any non-waivable rights you have under the mandatory data-protection laws of your country of residence, including the GDPR (for EU/EEA residents), the UK GDPR, and the CCPA/CPRA (for California residents). If you believe we hold information about you and want to exercise such a right, contact us at the address below.

Changes. If we materially change how Deftbox handles data, we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date above. Substantive changes will also be highlighted in the application's release notes.

Contact. Questions or requests about privacy can be sent to support@deftbox.app.
