Privacy Policy
A Pete Lab builds and sells small Apple ecosystem software products. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how to contact us about privacy requests.
Information we collect
When you browse this website, we may receive standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps, and basic device metadata through hosting, security, or analytics infrastructure. When you use a product license, activation or validation requests may include product slug, license status, app version, platform, timestamp, request metadata, and a device identifier or hash needed to operate licensing. We do not upload or store private data created while you use our software on our servers without your explicit authorization.
Timo app data
Timo is a clipboard and desktop utility. To provide its features, Timo may locally process clipboard text, images, files, screenshots, file paths, file index data, OCR or search text, app preferences, shortcut settings, permission status, and related local records on your Mac. Unless you enable a sync, export, or support feature, this content stays on your device. A Pete Lab does not sell this content and does not use it for advertising.
Purchases and licensing
For Mac App Store products, purchases, auto-renewable subscriptions, lifetime purchases, refunds, and payment information are handled by the Apple App Store and StoreKit. A Pete Lab does not receive or store full payment card numbers, and does not directly process App Store payments. To deliver products, validate purchase status, prevent abuse, and provide support, we may process necessary App Store transaction identifiers, subscription or purchase status, product plan, expiration date, refund or revocation status, and related support records. If you contact us directly, we may also keep the email address and conversation details you provide so we can handle your support request.
Cloud sync data
If you choose to enable cloud sync in Timo, Timo can store sync data in your own iCloud account or in object storage that you configure. This data is used only to keep your Timo content in sync across your devices. A Pete Lab does not sell or share this sync data, and does not use it to access unrelated files or storage content. You can turn off cloud sync or remove the related credentials from Timo at any time.
How we use information
We use collected information to provide downloads, activate licenses, maintain product accounts, respond to support requests, troubleshoot issues, improve product quality, protect the service, and meet legal or payment compliance obligations.
Retention and sharing
We keep records only as long as needed for product operation, support, security, accounting, and legal requirements. We do not sell personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us run A Pete Lab, host infrastructure, provide support, support App Store purchase validation, or comply with law.
Your choices
You can contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information where applicable. Some records may need to be retained when required for security, licensing integrity, accounting, dispute handling, or legal compliance.
