Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 15, 2026

Who we are

Mouseflare is made by Peak Summit Labs LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company ("we"). This policy covers the Mouseflare app for macOS, both the Mac App Store version and the version downloaded from mouseflare.com.

What Mouseflare collects

Nothing. Mouseflare has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no tracking. We never receive information about you, your Mac or how you use the app.

Your settings (ring styles, colors, profiles, shortcuts) and your usage stats (clicks, pointer distance, achievements) are stored only on your Mac and never sent anywhere.

The Mac App Store version

The Mac App Store version runs in Apple's app sandbox. Its only network request is an update check: once a day, Mouseflare asks Apple's App Store whether a newer version is available. The request contains only Mouseflare's App Store id; no information about you or your Mac is sent. Its App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected".

Optional features that ask for macOS permission

Some features need a macOS permission. macOS asks you the first time you use one of them, and you can turn the permission off at any time in System Settings > Privacy & Security.

• Keystroke display (Input Monitoring). Shows the keys you press on screen, for example during a presentation. Keys are displayed and never stored or sent anywhere. Nothing is shown while a password field is focused.
• Magnifier, Live zoom and Annotated screenshot (Screen Recording). These read the screen so they can magnify it or capture it. Images stay on your Mac. Screenshots you take are saved to Pictures/Mouseflare.

The version downloaded from mouseflare.com

The direct-download version works the same way, with three additions:

• License activation. When you enter a license key, the app sends the key and a device label (your Mac's computer name) to Polar, our payment and license provider, to activate it. Polar handles purchases under its own privacy policy.
• Update checks. The app checks an update feed on mouseflare.com for new versions. This request does not include any personal information.
• Linked Macs (optional, off by default). If you pair two Macs on the same local network, they exchange encrypted pointer-crossing events with each other so the pointer can move between them. Nothing else is shared, and nothing goes over the internet.

Sharing

We don't sell, rent or share personal information, because we don't have any. The only third party involved is Polar, and only when you activate a license in the direct-download version.

Children

Mouseflare collects no information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll post the new version here with a new date.
