Paper Birds Privacy Policy
Effective date: 23 September 2026. This policy covers the Paper Birds macOS menu bar app.
Information collected
Paper Birds does not collect personal information or send personal data to a WoodenDev server. The app has no Paper Birds account system, analytics, advertising, or third-party crash-reporting service.
Tracking
Paper Birds does not track you across apps or websites, use advertising identifiers, or sell personal data.
Preferences and automatic flight
Your flight choices and automatic-start preferences are stored locally on your Mac. Current time and display information help vary the scenery locally.
For automatic flight, the app checks how much time has passed since user input. It does not record your keystrokes, mouse positions, or browsing activity. It also checks whether another app is keeping the display awake.
In-App Purchases
Expanded Flight purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. Apple processes payment and Apple Account information under its own policies. Paper Birds does not receive your payment-card details.
The app uses Apple-verified transaction information on your Mac to unlock features and restore purchases. This information is not sent to a WoodenDev server.
Third-party services
Paper Birds uses Apple’s system frameworks, including StoreKit for purchases. It includes no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
Apple and macOS may process diagnostics independently according to your Apple settings and Apple’s policies.
This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics, external web fonts, or third-party JavaScript. When hosted on GitHub Pages, GitHub processes visitor connection information, including IP addresses, to provide and secure its hosting service. That hosting activity is separate from the Paper Birds app.
See GitHub’s Privacy Statement and Apple’s privacy information for their policies.
Contact
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to share so we can respond. Please do not send passwords or payment details.
For Paper Birds support or privacy questions, email woodendev@gmail.com.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page if the app’s privacy practices change and revise the effective date above.
