Privacy policy

1. Who we are

KeyStrong is developed and published by Jerome Coloma ("we", "us"). Contact for any privacy matter: [email protected]. This policy covers the KeyStrong macOS application and this website.

2. Information we collect

None. We do not collect, receive, transmit, process, store, sell or share any personal information, usage data, device identifiers, diagnostics or analytics. This is not a policy commitment we could quietly reverse in an update: the application ships without network entitlements, so it is technically incapable of sending data anywhere.

Specifically, we do not collect your name, email address, IP address, location, contacts, advertising identifiers, device fingerprint, or any passwords, passphrases, keys, tokens or other values you generate, paste or analyse in the app.

3. Data held on your device

The app stores your preferences - password length, character sets, appearance, clipboard timeout, keyboard shortcut - locally in the macOS application sandbox. These preferences contain no personal information. Deleting the app removes it; macOS may leave the preference file in your user library until you delete the container yourself.

Generated values and session history are held in volatile memory only for as long as the app is running. They are not written to disk, the Keychain, iCloud, or any log, and they are discarded when you quit.

4. Clipboard

When you copy a value, it is placed on the macOS pasteboard, marked as transient so that macOS excludes it from Universal Clipboard sharing with your other devices. The app clears the pasteboard after the interval you set in Settings, and only if the pasteboard still holds the value it placed there. We do not read pasteboard contents put there by anything else.

5. Third parties

The app bundles no third-party analytics, advertising, attribution or crash-reporting libraries, and makes no calls to any third-party service. No data is disclosed to any third party because no data exists to disclose.

6. The App Store

KeyStrong is a free download from the Mac App Store, with no in-app purchases, so no payment details exist and none pass through us. Your download is handled entirely by Apple under Apple's privacy policy; we never see your Apple Account or your identity. Apple may provide us with aggregate, anonymised download and territory reports that cannot identify individual users.

7. This website

This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and embeds no third-party trackers or fonts served from external hosts. Our hosting provider may record standard server logs, including IP address and requested URL, for security and reliability. We do not use them to profile visitors and we do not combine them with anything else.

8. Email you send us

If you email support, we hold your message and address for as long as needed to answer you and to keep a record of the issue. We do not add you to any mailing list, and we do not share your message. Ask us to delete the correspondence and we will.

9. Children

KeyStrong is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone, including children under 13.

10. Your rights

Privacy law in various jurisdictions - including the Australian Privacy Act, the GDPR and the CCPA - gives you rights of access, correction, deletion and portability over personal information a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing to access, correct, delete or export. Any support correspondence you have sent us is the only exception, and we will delete it on request.

11. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it. As at this version KeyStrong ships without network entitlements and collects nothing; any future version that changed that would be covered by an updated policy and its own App Store privacy label, which you can check before installing it.
