MagiaCapPrivacy Policy
Last updated: August 9, 2026

App Store Version
If you purchased MagiaCap from the Mac App Store, your purchase is handled entirely by Apple. We do not collect your email address, device ID, or license key — no license activation is required. The license data described above only applies to the direct (DMG) version sold through our website.
Data Storage & Security
- All license data is stored on our secure, self-managed infrastructure with end-to-end encryption.
- Bug reports are stored in our internal tools with access limited to our team.
- No cloud storage of video or transcript content.
- Database backups are encrypted.
Third-Party Services
- DeepL API (api-free.deepl.com): Only used when you explicitly add your own API key in Settings → Translation. MagiaCap never sends your transcripts to DeepL by default.
- Payhip: Payment processing (checkout page only).
- SendGrid: License key email delivery.
- Notion: Bug report database.
- Discord: Internal bug report notifications.
Data Deletion
You can request deletion anytime via Settings → License → Request Data Deletion in the MagiaCap app.
- Requests are processed within 30 days.
- Your license key is marked as "deleted" and cannot be reactivated.
- Contact: noreply@magiacap.com (forwarded to our team).
Cookies & Tracking
- Website: No analytics cookies. No tracking pixels.
- App: No telemetry. No crash reporting unless you submit a bug report manually.
- Sparkle updater checks for updates — no personal data is sent.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request a copy of your data.
- Request deletion of your data.
- Withdraw consent anytime (uninstall the app — no ongoing data collection).
