Privacy

Last updated 18 September 2026

Pointer Break collects no data of any kind. Not anonymised data, not aggregated data, not crash reports, not usage statistics. There is nothing to opt out of, because there is nothing being gathered.

It cannot send anything anywhere

The app contains no networking code at all. There is no analytics library, no crash reporter, no advertising identifier and no third-party SDK of any kind. It has no account to sign in to, because there is no server to sign in to.

It asks for no permissions

Pointer Break requests no Accessibility permission, no Screen Recording permission and no network permission. It cannot read what is on your screen and it cannot see what you type. It follows your cursor by asking macOS where the pointer is, which needs no permission and reveals nothing else.

What it stores, and where

Two things, both on your own Mac and both inside the app’s sandbox container:

LAYOUT.JSON

where you have placed your ramps, rails and halfpipes

PREFERENCES

your settings, the tuning sliders, and your score

Neither is transmitted anywhere. Deleting the app removes them. They are covered by your own Mac’s backups if you use them, and by nothing of ours, because we have nothing.

Purchases

The optional Full Unlock is an in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. Payment details never reach Pointer Break — the app asks StoreKit whether a purchase exists and is told yes or no. We receive no payment information, no email address and no name. Apple provides sales figures in aggregate, which say how many copies sold in which country, and nothing about who bought them.

Apple’s handling of that transaction is covered by Apple’s privacy policy, not this one.

This website

The site is static files on Amazon CloudFront. It sets no cookies, runs no JavaScript and embeds nothing from anyone else — no fonts from a font service, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no embedded video. Amazon’s infrastructure keeps ordinary server logs, which include IP addresses, and those are not used to build any profile of you.

Children

Since nothing is collected from anyone, nothing is collected from children either.

Changes

If this ever changes — if a future version gains a feature that genuinely needs the network — this page changes first, with the date above updated, and the app will say so plainly rather than quietly starting to send things.
