Privacy Notice

1. Overview

This Privacy Notice explains how CoverMyCamera handles personal data when you use our website, purchase a license, or contact support. For product questions, contact support@covermycamera.app.

2. Privacy First

CoverMyCamera is designed to run locally on your Mac. The app does not include camera or microphone activity telemetry, analytics, usage tracking, camera usage logs, or microphone usage logs. Paid builds only contact our licensing service for purchase activation and periodic license validation. The optional 24-hour local trial is enforced on device and does not phone home to start or expire the trial.

3. Information We Process

For purchases and licensing, we may process:

• Your email address
• Creem order, checkout, and transaction identifiers
• License key status and activation records
• Device instance labels associated with your license
• Support messages you send us

Our public website does not use analytics cookies or third-party advertising trackers.

4. Why We Process Data

We process this information to:

• Deliver and validate your license
• Provide customer support
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and license sharing
• Comply with legal obligations

Our legal bases include performance of a contract, legitimate interests in operating and protecting the service, and compliance with legal obligations, where applicable.

5. Payments

Payments are handled by Creem as merchant of record. Creem processes payment details, billing information, tax information, invoices, and receipts. We do not receive or store your full card number. For more information about how Creem handles buyer data, see Creem's Privacy Notice.

Creem may share buyer information with us that is needed to deliver the product and provide support, such as your name, email address, order details, and related transaction information.

6. Service Providers

We use trusted providers to operate the service, including Creem for checkout and licensing, and Vercel for website hosting. These providers process data on our behalf or as independent controllers, as applicable, under their own terms and privacy notices.

7. Retention

We keep licensing and purchase records for as long as needed to provide support, maintain your license, comply with legal obligations, and prevent fraud or abuse. When records are no longer needed, we delete or anonymize them where reasonably possible.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to request data portability. To exercise these rights, email support@covermycamera.app. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. International Transfers

Our providers may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, they use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

10. Changes to This Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with an updated date.
