Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 2026
Overview
Jollycat is a desktop application designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your files and data belong to you, and we've built our app to respect that.
Data Collection
We do not collect any data.
Jollycat operates entirely on your device. We do not:
- Collect personal information
- Track your usage or behavior
- Upload your files to any server unless you explicitly choose to use a sharing/upload feature
- Use analytics or telemetry
- Store any data on remote servers
How Jollycat Works
All file processing happens locally on your Mac:
- Image compression and conversion - Processed on your device
- AI image upscaling - Processed on your device using local models
- Video and audio manipulation - Processed on your device
- Document conversion - Processed on your device
- OCR text extraction - Processed on your device using local models
Your files never leave your computer during processing.
Optional File Upload / Sharing
Jollycat includes an optional feature to upload a file to a third-party file hosting service to generate a shareable link.
- This upload only happens when you explicitly choose the Upload/Share action and confirm consent in the UI
- Anyone with the resulting link may be able to download the file
- The hosting service's privacy policy and terms apply to uploaded files
License Verification
When you activate or validate your license, Jollycat communicates with LemonSqueezy (our payment processor) to validate your license key and manage device activations. The information exchanged is:
- Your license key
- A device identifier (your computer's hostname)
This information is used solely to verify your purchase and manage device activations.
LemonSqueezy's privacy policy applies to this data: lemonsqueezy.com/privacy
Automatic Updates
If you enable automatic updates, Jollycat will periodically check our update server for new versions. This check includes:
- Your current app version
- Your operating system version
No personal information is transmitted during update checks.
Data Storage
All app preferences and your license information are stored locally on your Mac in:
- macOS Keychain (license key)
- Application Support folder (preferences)
Third-Party Services
Jollycat uses the following third-party services:
- LemonSqueezy - Payment processing and license management
- Third-party file hosting - Optional file upload/sharing (only when you use the Upload/Share feature)
- Update Server - Checking for application updates
We do not use any advertising, analytics, or tracking services.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect your data, there's nothing to request access to or delete. Your files and information stay on your device.
