Brezy is built to be calm and quiet — including with your data. The app is local-first: by default nothing you do in it ever leaves your Mac. This policy explains the few places data is involved, and why.
The app
The Brezy macOS app runs entirely on your computer. Your scenes, settings, license key, and trial timer are stored locally in standard macOS preferences. There is no account to create, and the app does not phone home to validate your license — keys are checked offline.
Opt-in live weather
The one exception is the optional “Match live weather” feature, which is off until you turn it on. When enabled, the app:
- Asks macOS for your device location, shown to you in the standard system permission prompt — you can allow or deny it. If you deny it, the app falls back to an approximate location derived from your IP address (roughly your city — never precise GPS);
- Sends those coordinates to the Open-Meteo forecast API to fetch your local conditions, so the scene can match your real sky. Brezy re-checks about once an hour while the feature is on.
No account, login, or personal identifier is sent with these requests, and Brezy does not store a history of your location or weather. Turning the feature off stops all such requests. Please also see Open-Meteo's own terms for how that service handles requests.
The website & your purchase
When you buy a lifetime license on this website, we collect your email address. We need it for two reasons: your license key is derived from your email, and we use the address to deliver the key to you.
Payment
Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe and are never seen or stored by us. Stripe handles the checkout and shares back only what we need to fulfil your order (such as your email and payment status). See Stripe's privacy policy for how they process your data.
License delivery email
We may use Resend to email your license key to the address you bought with. This email is transactional — it delivers your key and a short receipt; it is not marketing, and we don't add you to any list.
License records
We keep a basic record of issued licenses (your email and the associated order) for bookkeeping, support, and tax/accounting purposes. That's the extent of it.
No tracking
We do not use advertising trackers, and we do not set analytics or ad cookies on this site. We don't sell or rent your information to anyone.
Data deletion
You can ask us to delete your stored purchase data at any time. Email support@brezy.app from (or referencing) your purchase email and we'll remove your license record. Note that records Stripe is legally required to retain for accounting are subject to their retention rules, and that deleting your record does not revoke a key that has already been issued.
