Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 22, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to Monk Mode Mac desktop software, related website pages, and direct communication through our official contact channel.

Monk Mode Mac is designed to run primarily on your device. Local productivity and enforcement data remains local unless you choose to send details to us directly.

2. Data Stored Locally on Your Mac

• Session settings (blocked websites, blocked apps, schedules, and related preferences).
• Focus and rule configuration data used by the app to enforce limits.
• Local analytics and logs (for example streaks, aggregates, bypass/security logs, and app state values).

This local data is stored on your device to provide core functionality.

3. Data We Store on Our Systems

We keep limited records only for purchase verification, direct communication, legal compliance, and basic anti-fraud controls.

• Email address used for purchase or direct communication.
• Order and transaction references from payment providers (such as order ID, timestamp, status, and limited risk metadata).
• Messages and files that you voluntarily send to us.

We do not store full payment card numbers, full bank account numbers, or your payment credentials.

4. Data We Do Not Collect on Our Servers

• Full browsing history created while using Monk Mode Mac.
• Continuous streams of app-level activity, keystrokes, screenshots, microphone audio, or webcam feeds.
• Always-on precise location tracking.
• Cloud copies of your local Monk Mode Mac settings unless you explicitly send details to us.

5. How We Use Limited Data

• Verify purchases, confirm license eligibility, and validate payment ownership.
• Respond to customer emails, troubleshoot reported issues, and handle account questions.
• Detect abuse, fraud, security misuse, or unauthorized transaction behavior.
• Meet accounting, tax, recordkeeping, and legal obligations.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data.

We may disclose limited information only to:

• Payment processors and fraud-prevention vendors for checkout and transaction verification.
• Operational service providers that process data under confidentiality obligations.
• Authorities or counterparties where legally required, or to defend legal claims.

7. Retention

• On-device app data remains on your Mac until you delete it, reset the app, or uninstall.
• Contact and transaction records are retained only as needed for verification, disputes, accounting, and compliance.

8. Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to systems we control. No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed as completely secure.

9. International Processing

If you use Monk Mode Mac from outside the United States, limited contact and transaction data may be processed in countries where our vendors or infrastructure providers operate.

10. Your Choices and Requests

• You can modify or remove local rules/settings in the app.
• You can clear local logs and uninstall the app to stop local processing.
• You can contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of records we hold where applicable law provides those rights.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is posted on this page with an updated effective date.
