Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 15, 2026
Overview
VeilWin is a local-first window dimming and focus tool. Our core principle: everything is processed locally, and window information never leaves your device.
Data Collection
What we do NOT collect
- Window titles, window content or running application information
- Your screen content
- Your usage history with VeilWin
What we do collect
- Anonymous analytics: optional usage statistics (can be disabled in settings)
- Crash reports: technical logs that contain no user content
- Activation info: machine ID and Pro license status
Data Processing
Local processing
- Window bounds and focus detection happen locally, used only to decide which window stays bright
- Settings and preferences are stored in the app’s local configuration
- VeilWin has no account and no cloud — we run no servers
Accessibility permission (macOS)
VeilWin needs the macOS Accessibility permission to read window bounds and focus. The permission is used locally only; nothing is transmitted. Windows requires no extra permission.
Third-Party Services

Your Rights
- Disable anonymous analytics at any time
- Export or delete your local configuration at any time
- Revoke the Accessibility permission at any time (dimming will stop working)
