Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

In short: KelpShot works on your Mac. Your screenshots, recognized text, and clipboard never leave it. We only receive what is needed to sell and activate your license.

Who we are

KelpShot is developed by Harry Suryapambagya ("we", "us"). Contact: [email protected].

What the KelpShot app processes

• Screenshots and edits are created and kept on your Mac. They stay in memory until you copy, save, or drag them out, and are never uploaded.
• Text and QR recognition runs on-device using Apple's Vision framework.
• Settings (shortcuts, save folder, export format) are stored locally in macOS preferences.
• Diagnostics: KelpShot writes events, image sizes, and error codes to the macOS system log on your Mac. They never include images, recognized text, or clipboard contents, and are shared only if you export and send them to us yourself.

License activation

When you activate a license, KelpShot sends your license key and a device label (your Mac's name) to our reseller, Lemon Squeezy, to confirm the purchase and count activations. KelpShot repeats this check occasionally. No screenshots or personal files are sent.

Purchases

Orders are processed by Lemon Squeezy (Lemon Squeezy, LLC), our Merchant of Record. Lemon Squeezy collects your name, email, billing country, and payment details to process the payment and sales tax, and shares your name, email, and order details with us so we can provide your license and support. Card details are handled by Lemon Squeezy and its payment processors and are never visible to us. See the Lemon Squeezy privacy policy.

This website

This website does not use cookies, analytics, or tracking scripts. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and reliability.

How we use and keep your information

We use purchase details only to deliver and support your license, handle refunds, and meet legal and tax obligations. We do not sell or rent personal information and do not send marketing email without your consent. We keep order records for as long as required by law and support emails for as long as needed to help you.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing [email protected]. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK, or Indonesia), you may have additional rights under local data-protection law.

Children

KelpShot is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, note it on this website.
