What we collect, and why.

It works on your Mac.

• Accessibility permission. Lidkeys reads the menus of the app in front and presses the menu item you tap. Menu names and what you do with them stay on your Mac.
• Settings, trial and license are stored on your Mac (in its preferences, its Application Support folder and your Keychain). Nothing is synced to us.
• Network requests. The app only goes online in these cases:
  • Activating Pro with a key from Gumroad or Polar: the app sends that key and our product ID to the store that sold it, to check it is valid and not refunded. Keys bought on this website are checked on your Mac, with no request at all.
  • The optional AI quota pill: it reads usage from Claude Code or Codex on your Mac. If you give it a DeepSeek API key, it sends that key to DeepSeek (api.deepseek.com) to read your balance. The key stays on your Mac otherwise.
  • Links such as "Buy" or "Help" open in your web browser.

Creem takes the payment. We get the order.

• Creem (creem.io) is our merchant of record: it runs the checkout, charges your card or other payment method, collects sales tax or VAT, and sends your receipt. It collects your name, email, billing country and payment details under its own privacy policy. We never see your full card number.
• What we receive from Creem: the order ID, your email address, your country, the product and the amount paid.
• What we do with it: your license key is made from your email address and the order date, and is shown to you right after checkout. Our license server, which runs on Cloudflare, keeps a record of each order ID and the key issued for it, so you can recover a lost key with your order ID and email, and so a refunded order stops getting keys. We also use your email to answer you and, if needed, to handle a refund.
• We don't send newsletters or marketing email unless you ask us to.

No cookies, no trackers.

• The website is hosted on GitHub Pages. We use no cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. GitHub may log visitors' IP addresses for security, as described in GitHub's privacy statement.
• The license pages remember your language choice in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your browser.
• Downloads come from GitHub Releases.

Only the services we need.

• Creem: payments, tax, receipts and refunds.
• Cloudflare: runs our license server.
• GitHub: hosts this website and the downloads.
• Proton: our support email.

We don't sell or rent personal data, and we don't share it with anyone else unless the law requires it.

Ask, and we'll act on it.

• How long we keep it: order records are kept as long as they are needed for your license, refunds and tax records. Support emails are kept while we're helping you.
• See or delete your data: email us and we'll tell you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. If we must keep an order record for tax law, we'll keep only that. Deleting your order record means we can no longer recover your key for you.
• Children: Lidkeys is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
• Changes: if this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
