The short version: apart from checking for updates, our apps work entirely on your Mac, we don’t have accounts, analytics or ads, and we don’t collect or sell personal data.
This policy covers the website at menubar.tools and the Mac apps published on it (together, “menubar.tools”), operated by Getss LLC (“we”, “us”).
Our apps
- Your data stays on your Mac. Anything an app stores, such as Copaste’s clipboard history, is saved locally on your computer, in your user account’s Library folder. It is never uploaded, synced or shared with us or anyone else.
- No accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking. Our apps don’t include analytics or advertising SDKs, and they don’t send usage data, crash reports or identifiers to us.
- System permissions are used only for the feature they enable. For example, Copaste asks for Accessibility access to paste for you and to find your text cursor. It does not record your keystrokes or your screen.
- Sensitive content. Copaste skips clipboard content that password managers mark as sensitive, and lets you exclude apps, pause recording and delete your history at any time.
- Update checks. Our apps check for updates once a day (you can turn this off in each app’s Settings) by downloading a small file from menubar.tools. Like any web request, this reveals your IP address and basic technical details such as the app and macOS version to our hosting provider. No other information is sent, and we use this only to deliver updates.
This website
- We don’t use cookies, analytics, advertising or tracking scripts.
- Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) for security and to keep the site running. We don’t use them to identify you.
- Downloads are served directly from our site. We don’t ask for your name or email to download anything.
When you email us
If you write to ideas@menubar.tools or hello@menubar.tools, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to read and reply to you. We don’t add you to mailing lists, and we don’t sell or share your information. You can ask us to delete your messages at any time.
Support links
If you choose to support us through Buy Me a Coffee or a similar service, that payment happens on their site and is covered by their privacy policy. We only see what they share with creators, such as your name and any message you leave.
Children
Our apps and website are not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. If an app ever starts handling data differently, we’ll say so in its release notes before it does.
