Privacy Policy

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE] · Last updated: [DATE]

This policy is a starting template that reflects how the app behaves today. Complete the [bracketed] items and have it reviewed by a lawyer before you rely on it.

The short version: MacDupl runs entirely on your Mac. It has no telemetry and no analytics. It never sees the contents of the apps you clone or the accounts you sign into. The only data that ever leaves your Mac is what's needed to check your license key and to check for app updates.

This Privacy Policy explains what data the MacDupl application and the macdupl.app website collect and how it is handled. MacDupl is provided by [SELLER LEGAL NAME] ("we", "us"), the data controller for the limited processing described below. Contact: support@macdupl.app.

What the app does not collect

MacDupl contains no analytics, no telemetry, no advertising, and no cloud sync. The clones you create, the accounts you log into, your files, and your app data all stay on your Mac. We never receive, transmit, or store them.

Data the app processes

License activation and validation. When you enter a license key, the app sends the license key and a device name (for example, "MacDupl on Your-Mac-Name") to our payment provider, Dodo Payments, to activate the license. It periodically re-validates the key by sending the key and an activation identifier. These are the only requests tied to your license, and they occur only after you enter a key. The app stores your key and activation identifier locally on your Mac; it does not store your name or email from the activation response.
Update checks. To keep the app current, MacDupl periodically requests a small update feed from our update host. Like any web request, this necessarily discloses your device's IP address and the app version to that host. No account or license information is included.

Payments

Purchases are handled by Dodo Payments, acting as Merchant of Record. When you buy a license, you provide your payment and billing details directly to Dodo Payments — we never receive or store your card details. Dodo Payments processes that information as an independent controller under its own privacy policy; we receive only the information necessary to fulfill and support your order (such as your license key and order reference).

The website

The macdupl.app website is a static site. Our hosting provider may automatically log standard request metadata (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability. [If you add privacy-friendly analytics such as Plausible or Fathom, disclose it here; otherwise state that the site uses no analytics and no advertising cookies.]

Data retention

License and order records are retained by us and by Dodo Payments for as long as needed to provide the product, support you, and meet legal and accounting obligations. Data stored locally by the app remains on your Mac until you remove the app or its data.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port the limited personal data we hold about you (such as your order and license records), and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact support@macdupl.app. For payment and billing data held by Dodo Payments, please also refer to their privacy policy.

Children

MacDupl is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

International transfers

Our providers (including Dodo Payments and our hosting and update providers) may process data in countries other than yours. Where required, appropriate safeguards are applied by those providers.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
