Privacy
Mr. Car Demon is a small focus timer for Mac. We collect as little as we can. This page lists all of it.
When you buy
Payments are handled by Stripe. You type your card details on Stripe's page, never on ours, and we never see your card number. Stripe tells us your name, email address, country, the amount and whether the payment went through. We use these only to give you your download, to answer you if you write to us, and for our tax and accounting records, which Canadian law requires us to keep for six years.
On this website
We use one cookie after you buy. It remembers that you paid, so your download page opens without paying again.
Analytics and testing
We use analytics tools to understand, in general, how people use this site, for example which pages are visited and which buttons are clicked, and to test different versions of the site to make it better. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies and may be provided by third parties such as Google (Google Analytics) and Vercel, who may process this information outside Canada. We use it only in aggregate. We don't use it to identify you, and we don't sell it. You can say no to analytics cookies in the banner on the site, and change your mind any time with "Cookie choices" at the bottom of the page.
The Mac app
- The app does not send us anything. It has no tracking, no analytics and no account with us.
- It saves its settings and your focus history only on your Mac, in its own folder.
- It does not use the internet. To play music it gives simple commands (play this playlist, pause, next song) to the Spotify app on your Mac. The first time, your Mac asks your permission for this.
- It plays one of two public playlists we chose. It does not sign in to Spotify, see your Spotify account, or read your listening history.
Who else sees your information
Stripe (to take the payment), our website host Vercel (which keeps standard server logs), and our analytics providers as described above. We do not sell your information.
Your rights
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, except what tax law says we must keep. Write to hola@mrcardemon.ca. If you are not happy with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
