Privacy policy
Welcome to Hootz.ai, your AI companion app for focused productivity on macOS. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal data while delivering an exceptional user experience. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to keep it secure.
Your data is encrypted and stored exclusively on your local device, ensuring it is never transmitted elsewhere without your consent.
1. Introduction
Hootz.ai is designed with privacy at its core. All tracking data is encrypted and stored locally on your device, so your information never leaves your control. Hootz.ai functions without an internet connection, allowing you to work offline with confidence. The only times network activity occurs are:
- - During onboarding (to save your email)
- - For categorizing activities (we anonymously send app names and time used to our server)
- - For basic app usage analysis
No personal data is involved in these processes, and you can opt out of usage analysis via the app settings.
2. Information We Collect
We collect your email address during onboarding to create your account and keep you informed about the app.
3. How We Use Your Information
Your email address is used to:
- - Send updates and announcements about the app.
- - Share information on new features or occasional promotions you might find useful.
4. Payment Processing
Payments are securely processed through LemonSqueezy, a trusted third-party provider.
5. Data Storage and Security
Your data is encrypted and stored locally on your device, ensuring its privacy and security. We implement strict security measures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.
6. Analytics
We use Mixpanel to collect basic usage statistics to understand user interactions and improve the app. This includes major usage metrics only. You can opt out of analytics tracking in the app settings.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since your data is encrypted and stored locally, deleting the app will remove your data. For account deletion or other requests, contact us at hi@hootz.ai..
8. Data Retention
We retain your email address while your account remains active.
9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We do not use cookies or tracking technologies on our website.
