1. Local Preferences and App Activity
Fling stores wheel configuration, hotkeys, appearance preferences, and your license record on your Mac. For troubleshooting, it also keeps a local diagnostic log with permission and event-monitor status and the app bundle path. The log is not sent automatically. Fling does not collect keystrokes or track actions you trigger through the wheel.
2. License Activation and Checks
License activation and checks are handled by Dodo Payments, our Merchant of Record and licensing provider. Activation sends your license key and your Mac's local computer name. License checks send your key and, when available, the activation instance ID; deactivation sends the key and instance ID. These requests are processed under the provider's privacy policy. An internet connection is needed for license requests.
If you choose to send feedback, Fling sends your message and app metadata: app name, app version, build, bundle identifier, platform, macOS version, and locale. Feedback is optional; do not include sensitive information.
3. macOS System Permissions
Some features require macOS permissions. The app explains the relevant permission when you use a feature that needs it:
- Input Monitoring: Used to detect the trigger shortcut you configure. Fling does not record your other keystrokes.
- Accessibility: Used for supported window management actions, such as moving or resizing a window. It is not used to record your typing.
- Screen Recording: Used for color sampling under your cursor. Fling's screenshot actions invoke macOS screenshot shortcuts; Fling does not capture those screenshots itself.
4. Payments and Billing Information
At checkout, our Merchant of Record processes your payment and billing details.
We do not receive or store your full payment card details. We receive the transaction and license information needed to fulfill your purchase and provide support, which may include your email address and license status.
5. Website Analytics
The live getfling.app website uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand visitor traffic and measure interactions such as download button clicks and checkout initiation. The homepage also loads Umami Analytics. These analytics scripts initialize only on the exact HTTPS production origin; local development, preview, and other hostnames do not load them from the site source. Google may collect information such as browser and device details, approximate location, referral source, and site events under its own privacy terms. You can opt out of Google Analytics measurement using Google's opt-out browser add-on or browser privacy controls.
6. Third-Party Links
Fling allows you to map custom URLs (such as Figma boards, GitHub repositories, or internal localhost URLs) to radial wedges. When you fling toward a URL wedge, macOS opens that destination in your default browser. Your browsing activity remains governed by the respective website's privacy policies.
