The short version: Twirl doesn’t collect anything about you or how you use your Mac. The only time information leaves your computer is when you buy a license or activate one, and that goes to our payment provider, Dodo Payments.
The app
- Twirl has no account, no analytics and no advertising. It doesn’t record what you do.
- To recognize a twist, Twirl reads the positions of your fingers on the trackpad. Those readings are used on your Mac, in memory, at the moment you touch the trackpad. They are never stored or sent anywhere.
- Your settings are saved on your Mac only.
License activation
When you activate a license, Twirl sends two things to Dodo Payments: your license key and the name of your Mac, so that you can tell your activations apart. From then on it checks with Dodo Payments from time to time that the key is still valid. Nothing else is sent.
Buying a license
Payments are handled by Dodo Payments, which sells Twirl to you as the merchant of record. Dodo Payments collects what it needs to take the payment and send your receipt: your name, email address, billing country or address, and payment details. We never see your card number.
Dodo Payments shares the order with us: your name, email address, country, what you bought and your license key. We use it to give you support and to sort out problems with your order, and for nothing else. We don’t sell it or use it for marketing.
This website
This site has no analytics, no advertising and sets no cookies. Like any website, the company that hosts it keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP address and browser type) to keep the service running and secure.
If you write to us, we keep the conversation so we can help you, and delete it when you ask.
Your choices
You can ask for a copy of the order information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, at any time. Email support@twirldial.com.
