AltMap Privacy Policy
AltMap ("the app") is built on a simple principle: your mappings, your license and your settings stay on your Mac. This policy explains how the app handles your information.
What AltMap uploads
The app uploads no usage data. It does not record which applications you switch to, what you map to which key, or how often you use it.
Only two operations send anything to us: starting a trial and activating a license. Both send an irreversible hash of a hardware identifier. The trial ledger stores that hash on its own, to allow one trial per Mac. The activation ledger stores it against the order it unlocked, to allow two Macs per license. The two ledgers are separate, are never joined, and are used for nothing else.
About that hash
The hardware identifier is the Mac's platform UUID. Before it leaves your Mac it is combined with a fixed secret value and put through SHA-256, so what we receive is a 64-character string that cannot be turned back into the identifier. We cannot use it to look up your Mac, and it is not shared with anyone.
What stays on your Mac
Your mappings, your license key, your activation record and your settings are stored in AltMap's own preferences on your Mac. None of it is synced, backed up to us, or transmitted anywhere. Removing AltMap and running defaults delete com.sea5star.AltMap removes all of it.
To bring an application forward AltMap has to know which applications are running. It reads that from macOS while it runs, in memory, and never writes it out or sends it.
What we do not do
- No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting or attribution SDK is embedded in AltMap.
- No advertising, and no data is sold, rented or shared with advertisers.
- No account system, and nothing to register or sign in to.
- No syncing or backing up of your mappings and settings.
Buying and payment
AltMap is downloaded and bought at altmap.supercyber.studio. Payment is handled by a third party, and everything to do with orders, the billing email address and the checkout page's cookies is governed by that site's full privacy policy.
Changes to this policy
If this policy is updated, we will revise this page and update the "last updated" date at the top.
