DeskPlay Privacy Policy
DeskPlay is a macOS desktop overlay app developed by Yigit Arslan.
This Privacy Policy explains how DeskPlay handles information when you use the app.
Overview
DeskPlay is designed as a playful desktop toybox for temporary visual, audio, and interactive overlay effects.
DeskPlay does not require an account and does not collect personal information such as your name, email address, payment details, location, contacts, photos, documents, or files.
DeskPlay does not include advertising, analytics, or tracking technologies.
Data Collection
DeskPlay does not:
- collect personal data;
- track user activity;
- include analytics SDKs;
- include advertising SDKs;
- create user profiles;
- capture, record, store, or transmit screen content;
- access, record, or transmit camera input;
- access, record, or transmit microphone input;
- upload your files, desktop contents, or app usage to a server.
Local App Data
DeskPlay may store limited app-related settings locally on your device, such as preferences, selected options, or simple gameplay/activity counters.
This local data is used only to make the app work as expected and to preserve your app preferences. It is not sent to the developer or to any third-party server by DeskPlay.
You can remove locally stored app data by uninstalling the app or deleting its associated local settings from your Mac.
System Interaction
DeskPlay uses standard macOS system features to provide its overlay functionality, such as pointer input, keyboard input where relevant, display information, and app window behavior needed to show and control the overlay.
These features are used only to make DeskPlay work as intended. DeskPlay does not use them to monitor you, collect personal data, read your files, or record the contents of your screen.
Screen, Camera, and Microphone
DeskPlay does not capture or record your screen.
DeskPlay does not use your camera.
DeskPlay does not use your microphone.
Any temporary visual effects created by DeskPlay are rendered locally on your device as overlay content.
Network and Backend Services
DeskPlay does not require a user account and does not operate a backend service for storing user data.
DeskPlay does not maintain a database of personal user information.
If a future version adds optional online functionality, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
Communication
If you contact the developer by email, your email address and any information you choose to provide will be used only to respond to your inquiry and handle your request.
The developer does not use support emails for advertising or tracking.
Data Sharing
DeskPlay does not sell, rent, share, or disclose personal data to third parties for advertising, analytics, or tracking purposes.
Third-Party Processing
Device-level diagnostics, crash logs, or App Store purchase information may be processed by Apple Inc. if enabled or handled through Apple's services. These processes are governed by Apple's own terms and privacy practices.
DeskPlay itself does not add third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Your Control
You can stop using DeskPlay at any time by closing or uninstalling the app.
You can also manage macOS permissions for apps through System Settings.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. If changes are made, the updated version will be made available through the app, the App Store listing, or the developer's website.
