Privacy policy
Effective 22 July 2026
Periphery does not collect or retain personal data. Your display content and settings stay on your Mac.
Screen recording
Periphery uses the macOS Screen Recording permission for one thing: to show live previews of your connected external displays in a floating panel. Captured frames are drawn on screen in real time and are never saved, recorded, or sent anywhere. All of it happens locally on your Mac.
No tracking
There are no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs. The app needs no account and connects to no developer-operated servers.
App Store purchases
Periphery uses Apple's StoreKit service to load regional pricing, complete or restore the one-time purchase, and verify access. Those requests are handled by Apple under your App Store account. Periphery sends no display content, settings, or analytics through StoreKit.
Settings
Your preferences — frame rate, layout, hotkey, and the rest — are stored locally with the standard macOS user defaults. They never leave your Mac.
Web analytics
The Periphery app contains no analytics. This website is separate from the app and uses Umami, a self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics tool, to count visits.
Umami sets no cookies, collects no personal data, and does not track you across sites. It records only aggregated, anonymous figures — page views, referrer, browser, and screen size — and stores no IP addresses. The data lives on our own server (umi.byndsim.com), hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany. We rely on it under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: a legitimate interest in seeing how the site is used so we can make it better.
The website serves its fonts directly from the same site. It does not contact an external font provider when you visit.
