Your keystrokes never leave your Mac

Who is responsible

Tactomo is made and sold by Magnus Aadlandsvik Skaflestad, Norway. Questions about this policy go to support@tactomo.com.

What the app processes on your Mac

With the Input Monitoring permission, the app sees which physical keys you press. With the Accessibility permission, it finds the text field you are typing in so the overlay and speedometer can follow your work. Key events are used to render the overlay and to compute your typing statistics. Statistics, settings and practice history are stored in your user folder on your Mac. None of it is sent anywhere, and the app keeps no log of what you write.

What leaves your Mac

• License check. When you enter a license key, the app sends the key, a name for your Mac (its computer name), your macOS version and the app version to our payment provider, Polar, over an encrypted connection. Polar answers with an activation ID that the app stores locally. About once a week the app sends the key and the activation ID again to confirm the key is still valid. If your Mac is offline, the app keeps working for 30 days without this check.
• Update check. About once a day the app asks tactomo.com whether a newer version exists. That request contains the app version and the usual information any web request carries, such as your IP address. Nothing about your typing is included.

That is the complete list. There are no analytics, no crash reports, no advertising identifiers and no telemetry of any kind.

Purchases

Payment is handled by Polar Software Inc., which acts as the merchant of record. Polar collects your name, email address, billing country and payment details, and issues your receipt and license key. Polar's own privacy policy applies to that processing. We receive your email address and order details so we can answer support requests and help you find your key again.

The website

tactomo.com is a static site. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics. The hosting provider may keep standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security and reliability.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask what personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to its processing. Email support@tactomo.com and we will answer within 30 days. Everything the app stores on your Mac is yours to delete at any time by removing the app and its data folder.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published here with a new date. We will never add tracking without saying so plainly on this page.
