Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 June 2026

SharePad is built to keep your data on your Mac. Here is exactly what touches the internet, across the app, this website, and checkout. The short version: almost nothing.

The app

SharePad shows your connected iPad in a window on your Mac. There's no account, no sign-in, and no analytics or telemetry in the app. Nothing about what you draw, write or share ever leaves your machine.

The only time the app reaches the internet is an automatic check for a new version (via Sparkle), which fetches the update feed and download from sharepad.co and GitHub. That request carries only what's needed to deliver an update, never your data or anything about what you share.

This website

sharepad.co uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-first measurement tool. It records aggregate page views and traffic sources to help us understand what's useful. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint you, and does not track you across other sites. No personal information is collected by the website itself.

Buying SharePad

Checkout is handled by Stripe, acting as merchant of record. When you buy, Stripe collects the details needed to process the payment and apply the correct tax: typically your name, email address, billing country and card details. Stripe handles that information under Stripe's Privacy Policy.

We (Yardley Software) receive a record of the sale, such as your email address and country, so we can deliver your download and help if you need support. We do not sell or share this information, and we don't use it for marketing.

Your rights

You can ask what data we hold about a purchase, request a copy, or ask us to delete it. Under UK GDPR you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Contact

For any privacy question or request, open an issue on GitHub, or reply to the receipt Stripe emailed you after purchase.
