Privacy Policy

Overview

Skopia is a macOS menu bar application that reminds you to blink while using your computer. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data.

The short version: Skopia runs entirely on your device. It does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data from within the application. The only data we handle is your email address when you purchase the app, which is processed by our payment provider.

Who We Are

Skopia is operated by Maksym Yankevych, a self-employed individual registered in Cyprus.

Contact: support@getskopia.com

For the purposes of GDPR, Maksym Yankevych acts as the data controller.

What Data Skopia (the App) Collects

None.

The Skopia macOS application does not collect, log, transmit, or store any personal information. Specifically:

• We do not track how you use the app.
• We do not collect analytics, usage statistics, or telemetry.
• We do not access your camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, location, or any other system data.
• We do not connect to the internet for any purpose other than checking for software updates.
• All settings you configure in the app are stored locally on your Mac using standard macOS preferences storage.

Skopia is designed to be privacy-first by default.

What Data the Website Collects

When you visit getskopia.com, we may process the following:

Purchase information

When you buy Skopia, our payment processor Lemon Squeezy collects:

• Your email address
• Your billing country (for tax purposes)
• Payment information (card details are handled securely by Lemon Squeezy and never touch our systems)

Lemon Squeezy acts as the Merchant of Record for Skopia. This means Lemon Squeezy handles payment processing, tax compliance, and related data processing. You can review their privacy policy at lemonsqueezy.com/privacy.

We receive from Lemon Squeezy only the information necessary to deliver your download link and provide support: your email address and country.

Support emails

If you email us at support@getskopia.com, we retain your email and message for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for reference. We do not use support emails for marketing.

Analytics

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any tracking cookies on getskopia.com. If we add lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics in the future (such as Plausible), we will update this policy and such analytics will be cookieless, will not collect personal data, and will not track you across sites.

How We Use Your Data

We use the limited data we receive to:

• Deliver your download link and purchase confirmation
• Provide customer support when you contact us
• Send occasional product announcements (only if you explicitly opt in)
• Comply with legal obligations (such as tax records)

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it for profiling.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your data (right to erasure)
• Object to our processing of your data
• Port your data to another service
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email support@getskopia.com from the address associated with your purchase. We will respond within 30 days.

If you believe we have not handled your data correctly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Cyprus, this is the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (dataprotection.gov.cy).

Data Retention

• Purchase records (email, transaction): retained for 7 years as required by tax law.
• Support correspondence: retained for up to 2 years after last contact.
• Local app data (your Skopia settings): stored only on your Mac. When you delete Skopia, this data is deleted with it.

Third-Party Services

Skopia relies on the following third parties:

• Lemon Squeezy (lemonsqueezy.com) — payment processing and Merchant of Record
• Apple (apple.com/legal/privacy) — macOS App Store distribution and code signing
• Cloudflare / Vercel (for getskopia.com hosting) — may process your IP address for standard web serving

These providers have their own privacy policies which govern their processing of data.

Children

Skopia is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

International Transfers

Some of our third-party providers (such as Lemon Squeezy) are based outside the European Union. Where your data is transferred outside the EU, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted with an updated "Last updated" date. For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you (for example, on the website or by email if you have a support history with us).
