1. Overview
This policy explains how the arthursmith.dev website (the "Website") and all macOS apps published under the Arthur Smith brand (the "Apps") handle your data. The short version: the Apps collect nothing, the Website only uses analytics if you opt in, and payments are handled entirely by our payment providers.
2. Our Apps Collect No Data
The Apps process everything locally on your Mac. They do not collect, store, transmit, or share your text, usage data, or any personal information. There are no accounts, no tracking, and no ads. Your data never leaves your Mac.
3. Website Analytics
The Website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, but only after you give
consent through the cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set. The data collected
(such as pages visited, browser type, and approximate location) is aggregated and cannot be used by
us to identify you. Google Analytics sets cookies (_ga, _ga_*) that persist
for up to two years, and the data is processed by Google, which may transfer it outside your country.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the cookie preferences.
4. Fonts
The Website serves all fonts from its own domain. Your browser makes no requests to Google Fonts or any other third-party font service.
5. Payments
Purchases are processed by our merchants of record, Gumroad or Paddle, under their own privacy policies. We never see or store your payment card details. The payment platform may share basic order information with us (such as your email address and the product purchased) so we can provide support and deliver updates.
6. Contact by Email
If you email us, we use your address and message only to respond to you. We do not add you to any mailing list and we do not share your address with anyone.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. Since we hold almost no data about you, most requests can be resolved quickly. Just contact us. If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
