Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
The short version: Mission Control Close does not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. Everything happens locally on your Mac. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection.
Overview
Mission Control Close is a macOS utility application that adds close buttons to windows in Mission Control. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
Data Collection
Mission Control Close does not collect any data. Specifically:
- We do not collect personal information
- We do not collect usage statistics or analytics
- We do not track your behaviour
- We do not log keystrokes or capture screen content
- We do not transmit any data from your Mac
Accessibility Permission
Mission Control Close requires macOS Accessibility permission to function. This permission is used solely to:
- Detect when Mission Control is activated
- Read the positions of window thumbnails
- Display close button overlays on those thumbnails
This is the same permission used by popular productivity apps like Rectangle, Magnet, and Alfred. The permission does not give the app access to your files, passwords, or other sensitive information.
Third-Party Services
The application itself does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.
If you purchase Mission Control Close, the transaction is processed by our payment provider. Please refer to their privacy policy for information about how they handle payment data.
Data Storage
Mission Control Close stores minimal preferences locally on your Mac (such as your theme preference and keyboard shortcut settings). These preferences are stored in the standard macOS preferences system and are never transmitted anywhere.
Updates
If you enable automatic updates, the app will periodically check for new versions. This check only verifies whether an update is available and does not transmit any personal information.
Children's Privacy
Mission Control Close does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
