Privacy Policy
PointerPause is designed to do one small job locally on your Mac.
Effective date:
What PointerPause observes
PointerPause observes the occurrence and timing of key-down events so it can briefly suppress pointer input. It does not inspect the key value or determine what character was typed.
What PointerPause suppresses
During the recovery interval, PointerPause suppresses pointer movement, clicks, dragging, and scrolling. This applies to connected pointing devices, including trackpads and external mice.
Data collection
PointerPause does not collect, store, transmit, or sell typed text, key codes, pointer-event contents, usage analytics, or personal information. The application contains no advertising, analytics, telemetry, crash-uploading, account, or networking functionality.
Permissions and preferences
PointerPause requires macOS Accessibility permission to filter pointer events. You control and may revoke this permission in System Settings. Your enabled state, recovery delay, and launch-at-login setting remain on your Mac using Apple system storage and services. Removing the app removes its application data; macOS may retain permission records until you remove them in System Settings.
Website
The PointerPause website does not provide accounts and does not use advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies. Our hosting and network providers may process routine request information, such as an IP address, browser information, and timestamps, to deliver and secure the website under their own privacy terms.
Support email
If you contact support, Google's Gmail service processes your email address, message, and anything else you choose to include. We use this information only to respond, troubleshoot, and maintain necessary support records. Please do not send passwords or sensitive typed content. Support messages are retained only as long as reasonably needed for those purposes. You may request deletion by emailing pointerpausesupport@gmail.com.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy before introducing purchasing, data collection, or other materially different services. Questions or privacy requests may be sent to pointerpausesupport@gmail.com.
