FontWarden
Privacy Policy
No accounts, ads, analytics or tracking, and nothing is sent to us.
This policy explains how FontWarden (“the app”), a Mac app that reads what fonts say about their own licenses and checks the fonts used in PDFs, developed by Kevin Fitzgerald, handles information.
Information we collect
None. FontWarden does not collect, store, sell or share personal information on any server, and it does not include analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking tools of any kind.
Information stored on your Mac
To work, the app keeps the following on your Mac only:
- The font folders you add, so they’re scanned again at launch
- Your license notes per font (license type, where you bought it, a link, notes) and the files you attach to them
- Your license key, in your Mac’s Keychain
Notes and attached files are in your user Library (Application Support, under FontWarden), the folder list and settings are in its preferences and the license key is in your Keychain. None of it is sent to us. Exports are written only where you save them.
Fonts and documents
FontWarden reads your installed fonts, the font folders you add and the PDFs you check, on your Mac. It never changes a font or a document.
Network
FontWarden is sold directly through Gumroad, and its only network requests are the license check with Gumroad (your license key, when you enter it and about once a week) and checks for app updates at fitztoppicks.com. Neither sends anything about your fonts or documents.
Purchases
FontWarden is sold directly through Gumroad, which handles payment and sends your receipt and license key; we never see your payment details. The app sends your license key to Gumroad to check it, and nothing else.
Children’s privacy
Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If the app ever begins collecting data, this policy will be updated before that happens.
