Privacy Policy

Effective 3 July 2026

Gaze is a macOS app that magnifies your screen locally. This policy explains what data we handle, why, and what we deliberately do not touch. It applies to the Gaze app and the gaze.iney.app website.

The short version

Gaze runs on your Mac. What you magnify, freeze or draw on never leaves your device. The only personal data we hold is the email address you give us at checkout, and we hold it purely to issue and restore your license.

What stays on your Mac

Everything you see through Gaze – the magnified screen, frozen frames, your annotations and exports – is captured and processed entirely on your device. Your screen is never recorded to our servers, never uploaded, and never transmitted to us or any third party. Gaze has no analytics inside the app: no telemetry, no usage tracking, no keystroke logging.

What we collect

• Email address – collected only if you purchase Gaze Pro. It is tied to your license so you can activate Pro and restore it when you move to a new Mac.
• Purchase and payment data – handled by our payment provider, Lava.top, which acts as merchant of record. Lava.top processes your payment and passes us the details needed to issue your license (such as your email and order reference). We never see or store your full card number or card security details.
• Basic website logs – like most websites, gaze.iney.app may record standard request data (IP address, browser type, timestamps) for security and to keep the site running. We do not use this to build advertising profiles.

How we use your data

• To issue, deliver and restore your Gaze Pro license.
• To send license-related email (your sign-in code and receipt) and to answer support requests you send us.
• To detect and prevent fraud and abuse, and to meet legal and accounting obligations.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising.

Who we share data with

We share the minimum necessary with the providers that make Gaze work:

• Lava.top – payment processing as merchant of record.
• Our email provider – to deliver your sign-in code and receipt.

These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and privacy policies. We may also disclose data where required by law.

Permissions Gaze requests

On your Mac, Gaze asks for Screen Recording (so it can magnify what is on screen) and Accessibility (for global hotkeys and click remapping). These macOS permissions are used only to make the app function. Gaze does not use them to collect or exfiltrate your data.

Retention

We keep your license email and order record for as long as your license is valid, and afterwards only as long as needed for support, accounting and legal obligations. Website request logs are kept for a short period and then discarded.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these, or to request deletion of your license email, contact us and we will help. Note that deleting your license email may make it impossible to restore your Pro license later.

Children

Gaze is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age required for consent in their country.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and revise the effective date above. Continued use of Gaze after a change means you accept the updated policy.
