Warden privacy policy

Warden contains no telemetry, no analytics, and no crash reporting. It does not record, log, or transmit keystrokes, pointer movement, screen contents, or the names of applications you run. Input is intercepted at the macOS event layer and discarded — it is never written anywhere or sent off the device.

The only network activity the app performs is license activation and periodic license validation. Between those checks Warden works fully offline: the license is verified locally against a cryptographic signature.

Purchases are processed by Dodo Payments. Payment details are entered on their checkout, never on this site — this site never receives or stores your card number. Dodo Payments handles the transaction and the email address associated with your license as the merchant of record, under their own privacy policy. We also attach the public page path and button location used to open checkout to help identify which pages lead to purchases. These fields contain no browsing history or tracking identifier.

The site uses Vercel Analytics to count page views. It is cookieless and does not build a cross-site profile of visitors; it records aggregate data such as page path, referrer, and coarse country- or region-level location derived from the request.

The site also uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how pages are used: clicks, scrolling, session recordings, and a few named actions such as download and checkout clicks. Clarity runs without cookies, so each page view is anonymous and is not linked to your other visits. Form inputs, numbers, and email addresses are masked before anything is sent, and Clarity is not loaded on the purchase pages. The site sets no advertising or tracking cookies.

Google Analytics 4 measures public page views and named actions such as downloads and checkout starts. Analytics and advertising storage are set to denied, advertising personalization is disabled, and automatic form tracking is off. Measurement uses cookieless pings. Query strings, URL fragments, and purchase or API pages are excluded from this tracking.

The site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard server request logs.

Because the app collects nothing, there is generally nothing held about you beyond the license record tied to your purchase email. To ask what is held, to correct it, or to have it deleted, email me@parthjadhav.com. Deleting a license record also deactivates the license.

If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the updated version will be published here.

Questions about any of this go to me@parthjadhav.com.
