Privacy policy
Effective 28 August 2026
Periphery does not collect or retain personal data. Your display content and settings stay on your Mac.
Screen recording
Periphery uses the macOS Screen Recording permission for one thing: to show live previews of your connected external displays in a floating panel. Captured frames are drawn on screen in real time and are never saved, recorded, or sent anywhere. All of it happens locally on your Mac.
No tracking
There are no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs. The app needs no account and connects to no developer-operated servers.
App Store purchases
Periphery uses Apple's StoreKit service to load regional pricing, complete or restore the one-time purchase, and verify access. Those requests are handled by Apple under your App Store account. Periphery sends no display content, settings, or analytics through StoreKit.
Settings
Your preferences (frame rate, layout, hotkey, and the rest) are stored locally with the standard macOS user defaults. They never leave your Mac.
This website
The Periphery app contains no analytics. This site sets no cookies and embeds nothing from third parties. Its fonts are served from this same site, so visiting it does not contact an external font provider. Our hosting provider processes the usual connection data (IP address, requested page, timestamp) in server logs for the purpose of delivering and securing the site, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The site does count visits, using Umami, which we run ourselves at umi.byndsim.com on servers in Germany. It records the page you viewed, the site that referred you, and rough details of your browser, operating system and country. Your IP address is used to work that out and is not stored. The numbers are aggregate, they are shared with no one, and they do not leave the EU. Umami sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, so no consent under § 25(1) TDDDG is required and you will not be shown a banner asking for it. Legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: our interest in knowing which pages are worth keeping.
