Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 3, 2026
This policy covers the SpaceDock macOS application and the website spacedock.pro, operated by [OPERATOR_LEGAL_NAME] ("we", "us"). The summary is short because the data practices are short: the app keeps your data on your Mac, and the only personal data we handle is what's needed to sell you a license and answer your email.
1. The SpaceDock app
Data stored locally
Everything SpaceDock stores stays on your Mac: your saved Spaces, pinned items, notes, settings, and cached icons. This data lives in local application storage and local files under your user account. It is not synced to or through any server we operate.
What the app reads, and why
- Window information (titles, positions) via the macOS Accessibility permission — to build the overview panel and apply layouts.
- Browser tab titles and URLs, and terminal session info via the Automation (Apple Events) permission — to list them in the panel.
This information is displayed to you and, where you choose to save a Space, stored locally. It is not transmitted to us.
Network connections the app makes
- Update checks — the app contacts our release server to see whether a newer version exists.
- Favicons — to show site icons next to browser tabs, the app may fetch icons from the websites in question.
- License activation — validating a Pro license key involves Paddle's licensing service.
- AI usage calendar — if you use this optional feature, the app reads your usage data from the respective provider (e.g. Anthropic) using credentials already on your machine. That data is displayed locally and not sent to us.
The app has no account system and no telemetry service that receives usage analytics.
2. Purchases (Paddle)
Pro licenses are sold by Paddle.com Market Ltd ("Paddle"), our merchant of record. When you buy, Paddle — not us — collects and processes the data needed to complete the transaction: your name, email address, billing address or country, payment details, and tax-related information such as VAT numbers where applicable. Paddle's handling of that data is described in the Paddle Privacy Policy.
From Paddle we receive order information (your email address, the product purchased, order ID, and country) so we can issue your license key and provide support. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
3. The website
spacedock.pro is a static website. It sets no cookies and runs no third-party analytics or advertising scripts. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes standard server logs — IP address, user agent, requested URL — to serve and secure the site.
4. Email
If you email [email protected], we keep the correspondence so we can help you, including with license transfers and refunds. We don't add you to a mailing list.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you live (e.g. under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Since the data we hold is limited to order records and support email, exercising these rights is usually a one-email affair: write to [email protected]. For data held by Paddle, you can also contact Paddle directly.
6. Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Material changes will be noted in the changelog.
