Privacy Policy

Sticktop is a Mac app for placing stickers on your desktop. It is made by Can Yıldız. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it.

The short version

Sticktop does not collect, store, sell or share any personal data. Everything you do in the app stays on your Mac.

Your images and stickers

When you add an image, Sticktop keeps a copy inside its own app folder on your Mac so the sticker still works if you move or delete the original. Sticker positions, sizes, borders and settings are saved in the same place. Removing a background is done on your Mac using Apple's built-in Vision framework; images are never uploaded.

Sticktop only reads files you choose yourself, through the open panel, by pasting, or by dragging them in.

No accounts, analytics or tracking

Sticktop has no accounts and no sign-in. It contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code. The only link out of the app is an optional button that opens tōten's Instagram page in your web browser.

When Sticktop uses the network

There are exactly two reasons, and neither involves your stickers:

• Your licence. When you enter your key, Sticktop sends it to Polar to activate it, along with Polar's organisation identifier and your Mac's name, which is used as the label for that activation so you can see and free your activations. It re-checks the licence with Polar every 7 days. Deactivating sends the key and the activation's identifier so Polar can free it.
• Updates. Once a day, Sticktop checks cnyldz.com/sticktop/updates/appcast.xml for new versions.

Both apply only to the version bought from Polar. The Mac App Store version has no licence key and is updated by the App Store, so it makes neither request.

Deleting your data

Removing a sticker in Sticktop deletes its saved copy once no other sticker uses that image. To remove everything Sticktop has stored, quit the app, delete it, and delete its folder at ~/Library/Containers/com.sticktop.app.

Children

Sticktop does not collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
