Turny

Privacy Policy

Effective November 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how blipYard Apps (“blipYard Apps,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the Turny application for macOS (the “App”) and the website at turny.blipyard.app (the “Site”). Together, the App and the Site are the “Services.”

By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information we collect

Purchase information

Purchases are processed by Paddle.com (“Paddle”), our reseller and Merchant of Record. Paddle collects the information needed to complete your purchase, such as your name, email address, billing country, and payment details, under its own privacy policy. We do not receive or store your full payment card details. Paddle shares with us your email address, a customer identifier, and transaction details.

License information

When you purchase Turny, we create a license record that contains your license key, email address, Paddle customer and transaction identifiers, the purchase date, and the license status.

When you activate the App, and periodically afterward (about once a week) to confirm the license is still valid, the App sends us your license key and a machine identifier. The machine identifier is a one-way hash of your Mac’s hardware identifier; we never receive the hardware identifier itself. We store the hashed identifier along with the date it was first activated and the date it last checked in.

Update checks

The App checks for updates using the Sparkle framework. When it does, it requests an update feed from our Site. This request includes standard technical information such as your IP address and the App version. You can turn automatic update checks off in the App’s Settings.

Site usage

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard log information when you visit the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, pages requested, and the date and time of the request. We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It doesn't use cookies and doesn't identify individual visitors. We don't use advertising trackers or set cookies. When you open the checkout, Paddle may use cookies or similar technologies as described in its own policies.

Support communications

If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address and the contents of your message.

Information that stays on your Mac

The App processes audio on your Mac to change each app’s volume, output, and equalizer. Audio is never recorded, stored, or sent to us or anyone else. Your settings, scenes, and preferences are stored locally on your Mac and are not sent to us.

2. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

3. How we share information

We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Services, and only as needed for them to do so:

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.

4. Data retention

We keep license records for as long as your license exists so that we can validate it and help you recover a lost key. We keep other information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required for tax, accounting, or legal reasons. You can ask us to delete your information at any time, as described below.

5. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, contact us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before responding. If we delete your license record, the App will no longer be able to validate your license.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Our legal bases for processing are performance of a contract (providing the App and your license), our legitimate interests (securing the Services and preventing license misuse), and compliance with legal obligations.

California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

6. International transfers

We and our service providers are based in, or process information in, the United States and other countries. By using the Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those where you live.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and hashing of machine identifiers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will post the updated policy on this page and change the effective date above. Your continued use of the Services after a change means you accept the updated policy.
