Who we are
MadMac is a macOS menu bar app produced by BeAppi (“we”, “us”). This Privacy
Policy explains what data we collect through this website and the MadMac app,
why we collect it, and your rights under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. Last updated: June 11, 2026.
The short version
MadMac is designed to collect as little as possible. The app runs entirely on
your Mac and does not send your usage, accelerometer data, slap counts or anger
levels to us or anyone else. The only personal data we store is an email address
if you choose to give us one to be notified about launch.
Data we collect
- Launch-notification email address. If you enter your email
in the “notify me at launch” form, we store that email address (and the time you
submitted it) so we can email you once about the MadMac launch. That is the only
purpose. Legal basis: your consent. - Basic technical data. Like most websites, our host may log
standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) for security and
to keep the site running. Legal basis: legitimate interest.
Data the MadMac app does NOT collect
The MadMac app does not collect, transmit or store any personal data. Impact
detection, the anger meter, slap counts and the hardest-hit record all stay on
your device. There is no analytics, no tracking and no account.
Payments
MadMac is sold for a one-time price of £4.99 through Gumroad,
which acts as our payment processor and merchant of record. When you buy MadMac,
your payment details and billing information are collected and processed by
Gumroad under their own privacy policy — we never see or store your card details.
Please review Gumroad’s privacy policy at
gumroad.com/privacy.
How long we keep your data
We keep launch-notification emails only until we have sent the launch
announcement, after which they are deleted, or sooner if you ask us to remove
your address.
Sharing your data
We do not sell your data. We only share data with the service providers needed
to operate (our website host, and Gumroad for purchases). Each processes data
under their own terms and applicable data-protection law.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or export your
personal data, to withdraw consent at any time, and to object to processing. To
exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will
respond within one month.
