            <p class="last-updated">Last updated: January 31, 2026</p>

            <div class="highlight">
                <p><strong>The short version:</strong> SaneApps apps keep your files, clipboard data, scripts, settings, and other personal content on your device. Some apps send anonymous aggregate product events, such as whether the app launched in Basic or Pro mode, whether an upsell was shown, or whether a license was activated.</p>
            </div>

            <h2>What SaneApps Collects</h2>
            <p>SaneApps applications do not upload your personal content to SaneApps servers. You can verify this yourself &mdash; the source code is on <a href="https://github.com/sane-apps">GitHub</a>. Some apps may make limited network requests for updates, licensing, sync, provider APIs, or other explicit features, and some apps send anonymous aggregate product events such as Basic vs Pro launch state, upsell views, or license activation.</p>

            <h2>Anonymous Product Events</h2>
            <p>Some SaneApps apps send a small number of anonymous aggregate product events to SaneApps infrastructure. These events are used for coarse product counters such as whether the app launched in Basic or Pro mode, whether an upsell or locked feature was shown, or whether a license was activated. They are not tied to an account, and they do not include your files, clipboard contents, scripts, hosts entries, API keys, payment data, or other personal content.</p>

            <h2>Individual App Policies</h2>
            <p>Each app has its own privacy policy with specific details:</p>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="https://sanebar.com/privacy.html">SaneBar Privacy Policy</a></li>
                <li><a href="https://saneclip.com/privacy.html">SaneClip Privacy Policy</a></li>
                <li><a href="https://saneclick.com/privacy.html">SaneClick Privacy Policy</a></li>
                <li><a href="https://sanehosts.com/privacy.html">SaneHosts Privacy Policy</a></li>
            </ul>

            <h2>Purchases</h2>
            <p>Purchases are processed by a third-party payment processor that acts as the Merchant of Record. I receive your email address for order fulfillment. I do not store payment information. The payment processor's privacy policy governs transaction data.</p>

            <h2>Websites</h2>
            <p>The SaneApps websites (saneapps.com, sanebar.com, saneclip.com, saneclick.com, sanehosts.com) are static HTML hosted on Cloudflare Pages. I use privacy-respecting, anonymous aggregate website analytics from Cloudflare to understand page traffic and checkout flow performance. I do not use invasive ad-tech tracking, behavioral profiling, or mailing-list pixels. Cloudflare may also collect standard infrastructure logs as part of hosting and security &mdash; see <a href="https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/">Cloudflare's privacy policy</a>.</p>

            <h2>Email</h2>
            <p>If you email me at <a href="mailto:hi@saneapps.com">hi@saneapps.com</a>, I'll use your email only to respond. I don't add you to any mailing list.</p>

            <h2>Updates</h2>
            <p>SaneApps use <a href="https://sparkle-project.org">Sparkle</a> for in-app updates. Sparkle checks for updates by fetching an appcast XML file from the SaneApps server. This request includes your app version and macOS version. No personal data is transmitted. You can disable update checks in each app's settings.</p>

            <h2>Changes</h2>
            <p>If this policy changes, I'll update this page. The date at the top reflects the latest revision.</p>

            <h2>Contact</h2>
