Privacy Policy
Effective November 10, 2026
Sunswept collects as little as it can: enough to sell you a license, check that it's valid, and send you updates. Your photos, artwork and projects stay on your Mac. We don't sell personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.
This policy covers the Sunswept Mac app and the sunswept.app website. Grayson Morgan Creative, based in North Carolina, is responsible for your information. Questions: support@sunswept.app.
What we collect and why
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address and name | When you buy, through Stripe Checkout | To deliver your license key, send receipts and license emails, and help you if you lose your key |
| License key, plan, updates date | When you buy | To run your license |
| Payment details | When you buy | Handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number |
| A machine ID (a one-way scrambled code made from your Mac's hardware ID, not the ID itself), your Mac's name and the Sunswept version | When you activate, and about once a week after | To count your Macs against your license, show them at sunswept.app/license, and let you remove one |
| IP address | Each time the app or your browser talks to our servers | Needed to deliver the request; used briefly for security and to limit abuse (for example, too many lookups) |
| Update checks: the app's name and version | About once a day, through Sparkle | To offer the right update |
| Support emails and Report a Problem details | Only when you send them | To answer you. Report a Problem fills in your Mac's model, macOS version, memory, graphics card, displays and the latest Sunswept crash report, and you see all of it before choosing to send |
Website analytics
When you visit sunswept.app, we collect basic analytics: the pages you view, the site that sent you, your browser and device type, and your approximate location (country or region, worked out from your IP address). We look at it only in totals, to see which pages help people and what to fix. It isn't used for advertising, isn't combined with your license information, and isn't sold.
What we don't collect
- Your photos, artwork, fonts, projects or exports. Photo Depth works out depth on your Mac; nothing is uploaded.
- What you do in the app. There's no analytics, tracking or automatic crash reporting in Sunswept.
- Advertising or cross-site tracking. sunswept.app has no ad trackers and doesn't follow you to other sites. Beyond the basic analytics above, it remembers your light or dark theme choice in your browser, loads its fonts from Google Fonts (which receives your IP address to deliver them), and reports site errors to our hosting provider so we can fix them.
Who helps us
We use a few service providers who process information for us under their own privacy and security terms:
- Stripe for payments, tax and receipts.
- Resend to send license and account emails.
- Our hosting provider and Supabase to host the website and the license database, and to provide basic site analytics.
- Sparkle, open-source software in the app, which fetches our update feed from sunswept.app.
We share information with others only when the law requires it, to protect our rights or someone's safety, or as part of selling the business (in which case this policy would still apply to your information).
How long we keep it
- License records (email, key, plan, dates): for as long as the license exists, so you can recover it, plus as long as tax and accounting law requires.
- Machine records: until you remove the Mac, or 2 years after it last checks in.
- Server logs with IP addresses: only as long as our hosting provider keeps them, typically a few weeks.
- Support emails: as long as needed to help you, then deleted within 2 years.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to see, correct, export or delete your personal information by emailing support@sunswept.app. Deleting your information means we can no longer verify or recover your license, and we may keep payment records the law requires. You can remove Macs from your license at any time at sunswept.app/license. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California), you may have additional rights, including the right to complain to a data protection authority; we'll honor them.
We store and process information in the United States. If you're outside the U.S., your information is transferred there.
Children
Sunswept is made for church media teams and isn't directed to children under 13. We don't knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has given us information, tell us and we'll delete it.
Security
License data is stored with access controls and sent over encrypted connections. License tokens are signed so they can't be forged. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we'll tell you as the law requires.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, for important changes, email license holders or note it in the app's release notes.
