Privacy Policy

Overview

At Launchie, we believe in complete transparency about data collection and privacy. This privacy policy explains our approach to data collection, which can be summarized simply: We don't collect any personal data from the Launchie application.

Information We Don't Collect

The Launchie application does not collect, store, transmit, or share any of the following:

• Personal information (name, email, address, phone number)
• Usage data or analytics
• Application launch history
• Folder organization or app arrangements
• System information or device identifiers
• Keyboard shortcuts or hotkey preferences
• Search queries or app names
• Installation or usage statistics
• Crash reports or error logs
• Any other personal or technical data

How Launchie Works

Launchie operates entirely on your local machine. The app:

• Reads your Applications folder to display available apps
• Stores your custom folder arrangements and app organization locally on your Mac
• Saves your hotkey preferences in local system preferences
• Does not communicate with any external servers or services

Local Data Storage

Any preferences or settings you configure in Launchie are stored locally on your Mac using standard macOS user preferences. This data never leaves your device and includes:

• Your custom app folder organization
• Keyboard shortcut preferences
• Application window settings

This data is stored in your user library and can be removed by uninstalling the application or manually deleting the preference files.

Network Activity

Launchie does not make any network connections. The application:

• Does not connect to the internet
• Does not send data to any servers
• Does not check for updates automatically
• Does not report usage statistics

Third-Party Services

Launchie does not integrate with or use any third-party services, analytics platforms, or tracking tools.

Website Analytics

While the Launchie application itself collects no data, this website (launchie.com) does collect basic analytics for the purpose of understanding visitor traffic and download statistics. This website analytics include:

• Page views and visitor counts
• Download statistics
• General geographic location (country/region level)
• Browser and device type

This website data is kept separate from the application and is used solely to understand how people discover and download Launchie.

Children's Privacy

Since we don't collect any personal information, Launchie is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Data Security

Since no data is collected or transmitted, there are no data security concerns related to personal information. All your preferences and settings remain securely on your local machine.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal data to access, modify, or delete. However, you can:

• Uninstall Launchie at any time to remove all local preferences
• Reset your preferences by deleting the local preference files
• Contact us with any questions about our privacy practices

Changes to This Privacy Policy

If we ever change our approach to data collection (which we don't plan to do), we will update this privacy policy and notify users through the application or website. The current version will always be available at this URL.

Open Source

We believe in transparency. If you want to verify that Launchie doesn't collect data, you can examine the application or request information about its behavior.

Legal Basis

Since we don't collect personal data, GDPR and other privacy regulations don't apply to the Launchie application's data practices. However, we're committed to respecting user privacy and maintaining this no-data-collection approach.
