Privacy Policy
Last updated May 31, 2026
Greendot is built to be boring about your data: it doesn't collect any. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no phoning home. This page explains the few places data is touched at all — almost entirely when you buy the app.
The short version
- The Greendot app runs entirely on your Mac. It has no accounts and no servers to talk to.
- The app contains no analytics, telemetry, ad SDKs, or trackers.
- The only time your data leaves your device is when you choose to buy the app — and that payment is handled by Stripe, not by us storing your card.
What the app collects
Nothing. Greendot watches local signals on your own Mac — keyboard and trackpad idle time, and whether your microphone or camera is in use — purely to decide when to keep your status dot green and when to step out of the way. These signals are evaluated on-device, in real time, and are never recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere.
Greendot has no login, no cloud sync, and makes no network requests for the purpose of collecting data about you.
What the website collects
The marketing site you're reading is intentionally minimal. It does not set advertising cookies and does not run third-party analytics.
Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type, and the page requested) for a short time to keep the service secure and running. These logs are not used to build a profile of you.
Payments
When you buy Greendot, checkout is processed by Stripe. Your payment details (card number, billing info) go directly to Stripe — we never see or store your full card number. Stripe shares limited information with us, such as your email address and whether the payment succeeded, so we can send your receipt and unlock your download. Stripe's handling of your data is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
If you email us for support, we'll have whatever you put in that email (your address and your message). We use it only to reply and help you. We don't add you to a mailing list.
Your rights
Because the app stores nothing about you, there's typically nothing for us to delete on the app side. For purchase records held by Stripe, or any support emails, you can contact us at pepegombos@gmail.com to ask what we hold and request its deletion, subject to legal record-keeping obligations.
Children
Greendot is a workplace utility and isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Since the product's whole premise is collecting nothing, we don't anticipate dramatic changes.
Questions?
Email pepegombos@gmail.com and a real person (the one who built this) will answer.
