Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how iDowny (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with our macOS application and related services. By using iDowny, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

Email at purchase

When you complete a purchase through our payment provider, we may receive or associate your email address with your order and license record for delivery, receipts, and support correspondence.

Device identifier at activation

To verify licenses and prevent abuse, we may collect a device-specific identifier generated or provided during activation (for example, a hardware-bound or application-scoped token as implemented in the product). This is used to tie entitlements to permitted devices as described in our terms.

Basic device information

We may collect limited technical information necessary to operate the app and diagnose issues, such as app version, operating system version, and error or crash-related data if you choose to share it or if required for stability.

Information We Don’t Collect

• We do not collect your download history or a catalog of URLs or files you retrieve with the app.
• We do not track your general web browsing outside what is strictly necessary for app functionality you initiate.
• We do not collect or store the video or media content you download; such content flows between you and third-party sites or services.

How We Use Information

• License verification: To validate purchases, manage activations, and enforce license limits.
• Support: To respond to inquiries, send transactional messages related to your purchase, and improve the product when you contact us.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for behavioral advertising through iDowny.

Data Storage

Sensitive credentials or tokens needed for local operation may be stored on your device using macOS Keychain or comparable secure local storage, where applicable.

On our servers, we retain only the minimum data necessary to operate licensing, billing records received from payment processors, and support-related correspondence. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the size and nature of our service.

Third-Party Services

Payments may be processed by PayPal (or other processors we disclose at checkout). Their collection and use of information is governed by their privacy policies. We receive limited transaction and customer data needed to fulfill your order and support your license.

Data Retention

We retain purchase and license records for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes above, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Local data on your device remains under your control until you remove the app or clear app data.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below. We will respond in line with applicable law.

Cookies

The iDowny desktop application does not use tracking cookies for analytics or advertising in the manner typical of websites. If you use our website, standard browser cookies may apply as described in any separate website notice; we do not use tracking cookies for cross-site advertising through the app itself.

Children’s Privacy

iDowny is not directed at children under the age where parental consent is required in your jurisdiction, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. If you believe we have collected information from a child in error, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on our official site with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of iDowny after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy where permitted by law.
