Whimsy privacy policy

Last updated 16 October 2026.

Whimsy collects no data about you. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and the app makes no network connections.

What stays on your Mac

Your choices (the look, trail, cursor, color, size and the apps you pause Whimsy in) are saved in the app's preferences on your Mac and nowhere else. Deleting the app and its preferences removes them.

Purchases

Whimsy Pro is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. Apple processes the payment and tells the app whether Pro is unlocked; I never see your payment details, name or Apple ID, and the app makes no network requests of its own.

Permissions

Whimsy from the Mac App Store needs no special macOS permissions. It does not read, record or store what you type or what is on your screen. If a separately downloaded edition is ever offered, it asks for macOS Accessibility access only so it can follow the position of your pointer and draw the trail, and it still does not read, record or store what you type or what is on your screen.

Third parties

Whimsy sends nothing to me or to anyone else, so there is nothing to share, sell or disclose.

Children

Whimsy collects nothing from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date. Questions: contact@camdenburke.co.uk.
