Privacy Policy

Windows app

What stays on your PC

Your settings (shortcuts, colours, emoji set, theme and intensity) and a count of how many effects you've played are saved in the app's own folder on your PC. They never leave your PC. If you allow it, Windows may include them in your own OneDrive backup, which is handled by Microsoft under its privacy statement.

Internet use

The app doesn't connect to the internet on its own.

• Microsoft Store version: to check whether you're in the free trial or have bought the app, it asks Windows for its Microsoft Store licence. That check is handled by Windows and the Microsoft Store under Microsoft's privacy statement. Purchases are made in the Microsoft Store; we never see your payment details. Uninstalling the app deletes its settings.
• Gumroad version: when you uninstall, your browser opens a short, optional feedback form, with the app version, your Windows version and the number of effects you've played filled in. Nothing is sent unless you press Submit. Purchases are handled by Gumroad under its own privacy policy.

Why the app needs full trust

Windows lists the app as using "full trust" because it registers system-wide keyboard shortcuts, draws see-through effects over every screen and shows an icon in the notification area. It doesn't use that access to read your files, screen, keystrokes or anything else.

Keyboard shortcuts

The app only listens for the shortcuts you set (Alt+Shift+D, F, S and E by default). It doesn't record or log any other keys.

Chrome extension

The extension collects nothing. Your settings are kept in Chrome's own storage and sync across your devices if you use Chrome sync, which Google handles under its own privacy policy.

It uses three permissions:

• storage: saves your settings.
• activeTab: lets an effect appear only on the page where you trigger it.
• scripting: adds the confetti layer to that page when you trigger an effect.

It can't read your browsing history and can't access a page until you trigger an effect on it. It doesn't read or send the content of any page.

When you uninstall, an optional feedback form (a Google Form) opens with the extension version, your operating system and the number of effects you've played filled in. Nothing is sent unless you press Submit.
