Legal Information
Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to PeekText. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you visit our website and use our macOS application, and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
2. Transient Image Processing (On-Device OCR)
The core functionality of the PeekText macOS app involves extracting text from images on your screen. We want to be explicitly clear: we do not upload, store, or transmit your images or the extracted text to any external servers.
All Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing is performed locally and transiently on your device. Once the text is extracted and copied to your clipboard, the temporary image data is discarded by the operating system. No image data leaves your machine.
3. Analytics and Hosting
To understand how our website is used and to ensure reliable uptime, we use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure website traffic and user engagement. Google Analytics may collect your IP address, device information, and browsing behavior on our website through cookies. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
- Vercel: Our website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may automatically collect base server logs, including IP addresses and user agent strings, to maintain security and monitor performance.
These third parties do not have access to your use of the PeekText macOS app itself, nor the contents of the images you process.
4. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA).
These rights may include:
- Right to Access: Request copies of your personal data.
- Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data.
- Right to Restrict Processing: Request limitation of processing your personal data.
- Right to Data Portability: Request transfer of data we have collected to another organization.
- Right to Opt-Out:Request that we do not “sell” or “share” your personal information (note: PeekText does not sell your personal data).
