This Privacy Policy explains how Walyro ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use the Walyro macOS application ("App"). If you are reading this on our website, note that the App is distributed via the Mac App Store and is designed to work primarily offline.
1) Key points
- Walyro works primarily offline. Your wallpapers, library, and settings are stored locally on your Mac.
- No accounts. No backend. We do not run user accounts and we do not operate servers that store your wallpaper library.
- No analytics, ads, or tracking. Walyro does not use advertising, behavioral analytics, or sell personal information.
- Crash reporting is optional. We use Sentry only if you explicitly agree to share diagnostic data.
- Network use is minimal. If you do not opt in to diagnostics, the App does not send crash/diagnostic data to Sentry.
2) Information we process
A) Data stored on your device (local)
Walyro processes and stores the following locally on your Mac to provide core features:
- User-added wallpaper files (videos/images) you choose to add.
- Pre-installed wallpapers shipped with the App.
- Library data & settings, such as:
- per-display wallpaper selection,
- playback settings,
- app preferences and UI state.
This data is not uploaded to us.
B) Diagnostic data (only with your consent)
If you opt in to diagnostics/crash reporting, the App may send certain information to Sentry to help us understand and fix crashes and stability issues. This may include:
- crash stack traces and error messages,
- app version and basic device/software information (e.g., macOS version, device model),
- timestamps and diagnostic context related to the crash.
We do not use Sentry data for advertising, and we do not sell this information.
If you do not opt in, Walyro does not send crash/diagnostic reports to Sentry.
C) Information you provide to us
If you contact us (e.g., by email), we will receive the information you share such as your email address and the content of your message.
3) How we use information
We use information to:
- operate the App and its features on your device,
- provide support and respond to your requests,
- improve reliability and fix issues (via optional Sentry diagnostics, if you consent).
4) How we share information
We share information only in these limited cases:
- Service provider (Sentry), only if you opt in to diagnostics/crash reporting.
- Legal reasons, if required to comply with applicable law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Business transfer, if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (where required, we will provide notice).
We do not sell personal information.
5) Data retention
- Local wallpapers, library, and settings: remain on your Mac until you delete them or uninstall the App.
- Sentry diagnostic data (if enabled): retained for a limited period as configured in our Sentry project settings and as needed for troubleshooting.
- Support communications: retained as long as reasonably necessary to address your request.
6) Security
We apply reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we aim to minimize data collection and limit transmission to optional diagnostics only.
7) Your choices
You can:
- enable or disable diagnostic/crash reporting at any time in the App (where provided),
- remove wallpapers and reset your library from within the App,
- uninstall the App to remove local data (subject to macOS behavior),
- enable or disable launch at login ("Login Item") in macOS settings (this does not share your personal data with us).
To request deletion of support communications, contact us (see section 10).
8) Children's privacy
Walyro is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9) Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and provide additional notice if required.
