Your desktop is nobody’s business but yours.

SlateKit collects nothing, sends nothing, and has no servers. There is no account, no tracking, no analytics, and no third-party code embedded in the app. Everything the app does happens on your Mac, and stays there.

SlateKit saves your look and preferences, colors, motion, CRT settings, presets, and framerate choices, to a small file on your own machine, inside the app’s sandbox container. That file never leaves your Mac. Deleting the app removes it.

The app runs in Apple’s App Sandbox with a hardened runtime and does not request network access. It cannot phone home because it has no way to reach the network at all. Every frame is computed locally on your GPU.

SlateKit does not ask for, read, or store your name, email, contacts, location, files, or any other personal information. It has no reason to, so it does not.

If you download SlateKit from the Mac App Store, Apple handles the purchase and may provide the developer with anonymous, aggregate statistics such as total download counts. That data comes from Apple, is not tied to you personally, and is governed by Apple’s own privacy policy. SlateKit itself receives none of your information through this channel.

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date above. Because the app collects no data, any change is expected to be clarifying rather than substantive.
