Privacy Policy

Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Tygear handles information when you use the Tygear macOS app or visit tygear.app.

Information Tygear collects

The Tygear macOS app does not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or share personal data. The app does not include third-party analytics, advertising, telemetry, or tracking SDKs.

Tygear does not create an account for you and does not collect your name, email address, contacts, location, browsing history, device identifiers, or the content you type.

Keyboard shortcuts and input sources

Tygear uses the macOS system hotkey API to respond only to the shortcut combinations you configure. It does not monitor, intercept, record, or transmit your keystrokes or typed content.

Tygear does not require Accessibility or Input Monitoring permission. It reads the list of input sources enabled in macOS only so it can display them and switch to the source you choose.

Information stored on your Mac

Your shortcut assignments, selected default input sources, display-language preference, launch-at-login preference, and trial start date are stored locally using macOS system preferences. Tygear does not upload these settings to us.

Purchases

Purchases and restorations are handled by Apple through StoreKit and the Mac App Store. Tygear receives only the product and entitlement status needed to unlock the app. We do not receive or store your payment-card details.

Apple handles App Store information under Apple's Privacy Policy.

Website analytics and delivery

tygear.app uses Google Analytics by default to measure visits and interactions. Google Analytics may process a random client identifier, approximate location, browser or device information, and on-site activity. It may use first-party cookies such as _ga to distinguish visitors and sessions.

Tygear uses this information to understand aggregate website usage and improve the site. Website Analytics cannot see what you type in the Tygear app, and the macOS app does not include the Google Analytics SDK.

You can block or delete Analytics cookies using your browser settings or use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which may process limited technical request information, such as an IP address and browser details, to deliver and secure the site.

Learn more in the Google Privacy Policy and Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Retention and deletion

Because the Tygear app does not collect personal data, we do not retain app data on our servers. Local app settings remain on your Mac until you change them or remove Tygear's preferences.

Google Analytics event-level data is retained for up to 14 months. Deleting or blocking Analytics cookies stops that browser from using the existing cookie identifier but does not remove statistics already included in aggregate reports. You can contact us to request deletion or ask questions about website data.

Children's privacy

Tygear does not knowingly collect personal information from children or from any other user.
