Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 25, 2026

1. The short version

DockLockr is a local macOS utility. The app itself does not send usage data, telemetry, or analytics anywhere. The only personal information we hold is what you give us when you buy a license and what your computer sends us when it activates that license. This website counts visits with Google Analytics — cookielessly until you accept the banner. We don't sell your data, we don't share it with advertisers, and we run no advertising or retargeting tech at all.

2. Who we are

DockLockr is operated by the DockLockr team (“we”, “us”). For privacy questions you can email berk@biozalp.com.

3. What we collect

  • Purchase information. When you buy DockLockr, our payment processor (Polar) handles the transaction. They collect your email address, billing details, and country for tax purposes. We only receive your email and license metadata — not your card number.
  • License activations. To enforce the 3-device limit, the app sends an anonymized device identifier to our license server when you activate or deactivate DockLockr. This identifier is derived from your hardware and cannot be reversed into a person.
  • Support emails. If you write to support, we keep the email thread so we can help you. Nothing more.
  • Website analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to see aggregate visit counts and which pages get used. Until you accept the cookie banner it runs in a cookieless mode — it counts the visit but stores nothing on your device and can't recognise you on a return trip. If you accept, it may set the cookies listed in section 9 so returning visits can be counted as the same person. We don't run any advertising tech, and ad-personalisation signals are switched off permanently regardless of your answer.
  • Local storage on this website. We use the browser's local storage to remember your theme choice and your cookie consent decision.

4. What we do not collect

  • The app does not record what apps are in your Dock.
  • The app does not transmit screen contents, keystrokes, or anything you do on your Mac.
  • No advertising trackers, retargeting pixels, or session-replay tools on this website.

5. Why we hold what we hold

We use the information above to deliver the product you paid for: issuing your license, letting you activate it on up to three devices, sending you receipts and important updates, and answering support questions. The legal basis under GDPR is performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) and our legitimate interest in keeping the service running (Article 6(1)(f)).

6. Who we share it with

Only the people who help us run the service:

  • Polar — payment processing and license issuance.
  • Our hosting provider — serves this website and the license API.
  • Our email provider — sends purchase receipts and replies to support.
  • Google Analytics — aggregate page-view metrics. Runs cookielessly until you accept the cookie banner.

We never sell, rent, or trade your data.

7. How long we keep it

License records are kept as long as the license is active plus the legally required period for accounting (typically up to 7 years, depending on jurisdiction). Support emails are kept for up to 24 months after the conversation ends, then deleted.

8. Your rights

If you are in the EU, UK, or another region with similar laws, you can ask us to:

  • See what we hold about you (right of access).
  • Correct anything wrong (right of rectification).
  • Delete your account and personal data (right to erasure).
  • Get a copy of your data in a portable format.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these, just email berk@biozalp.com. We'll respond within 30 days.

9. Cookies on this website

Two strictly necessary items of local storage, always:

  • theme — remembers whether you picked light or dark mode.
  • dl-cookie-consent — remembers your answer to the cookie banner so we don't ask again.

And, only if you accepted the banner, Google Analytics 4 may set:

  • _ga, _ga_* — set by Google to distinguish unique visitors across sessions. We use these to see aggregate page-view counts, nothing more.

If you decline — now or later — we immediately tell Google to stop using storage, and we expire the cookies above. Analytics drops back to the cookieless mode described in section 3.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle your data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Material changes affecting existing customers will also be sent by email.
