What the Mac app processes

MacBend uses macOS Screen Recording permission to read desktop frames and render its fade effect. Frames are held briefly in memory, are not saved or logged, and are not uploaded by MacBend.

Information stored on your Mac

The app stores its preferences, the trial start time, license activation identifier, and last successful validation time locally. Your license key is stored in the macOS Keychain.

License activation

When you activate, validate, or deactivate a license, MacBend sends the license key and activation information to Polar so Polar can provide the licensing service.

Website and checkout

This website is hosted using Cloudflare, which may process ordinary connection data such as IP address, browser details, and request logs. Purchases are completed on Polar, which processes checkout, payment, license delivery, and related customer data under its own privacy terms. MacBend does not currently use advertising trackers or website analytics.
