Website privacy.
This page covers the Mantiqo company website, operated by Mantiqo LLC. It is not a blanket policy for every Mantiqo product.
Browsing this site
You can browse the company site without creating an account. The site does not include advertising trackers, analytics scripts, third-party font requests, or an embedded donation widget. Product search and platform filters run in your browser, with the current selection stored in the page URL.
Hosting and requests
The website is hosted on Vercel. Delivering pages and images involves ordinary network requests, and the hosting provider may process request metadata such as IP addresses and user-agent information for delivery, security, and operations. This is separate from advertising tracking.
Checkout and purchase recovery
When you choose to buy a desktop utility, the server sends the approved product and price to Polar. Where provided by the trusted hosting proxy, the request's IP address may also be passed for checkout processing. Payment details are entered on Polar's hosted checkout, not in this site's forms. Polar handles payment, confirmation emails, license benefits, and protected file delivery under its own terms and privacy policy.
Order status and licenses
The purchase-confirmation page reads the matching order and benefit status without exposing a customer profile or license key. A checkout link alone cannot grant file access. Purchase recovery uses Polar's email-code sign-in; this site does not create a separate customer account, duplicate fulfillment database, or advertising profile. Do not share private checkout sessions, sign-in codes, or license keys. Permanent public purchase links are intended to be shared.
Polish activation service
MacPolish and WinPolish use a separate shared licensing service. It retains license keys and identifiers, the purchase email used by the existing license token, device fingerprints and names, and activation timestamps to enforce the shared device allowance. This is distinct from website browsing and is not advertising analytics. Polar continues to handle new purchase fulfillment and protected downloads.
Standalone desktop activation
New Text File, Merge Folders, QuietLook, DropStash, RepoDeck and FileWeave send their product, a product-specific hash of the machine identity, and a purchase key or signed renewal receipt to Mantiqo's license service over HTTPS. The service checks the existing Polar entitlement and returns a product/device-bound receipt. Apps retain a private signed receipt with a server-encrypted renewal grant, not a plaintext purchase key. No filenames, watched paths, rules, repository data, preview activity or audio are sent by licensing. The stateless adapter does not create another customer database; hosting providers still process ordinary request metadata. Local activation can be removed in the app. Receipts permit up to 30 days offline and revocation is checked during renewal.
Seven-day desktop trials
Starting or restoring a trial sends the app identity and a device fingerprint to Mantiqo's HTTPS license service, without a purchase key, new account or payment. The service retains the license family, fingerprint, trial identifier and original start/end so removing or reinstalling an app does not allocate another trial. Trial requests use a keyed hash of the gateway-provided IP address for rate limiting; those rate buckets are removed after a day. Existing Polish trial records and their historical metadata are preserved. Native apps store a signed trial receipt and private observed-time marker to detect ordinary clock rollback. Trial licensing does not send filenames, repository data, previews or audio.
Getting in touch
Contact links open your email application. If you email us, we receive your email address and anything you choose to include so we can respond. Please avoid sending secrets or unnecessary personal information.
Individual products and external sites
Product websites, extension stores, download hosts, and purchase providers have their own data handling and terms. A product's overview includes a short data-handling note, but it does not replace that product's full policy or the permissions shown during installation.
Existing extension policies
The original privacy-policy files for Bookmarks, Save Image to Downloads, and Flybird remain at their existing URLs. Existing browser-store links continue to point to those product-specific policies.
