Privacy Policy
- WinKeys rewrites keystrokes entirely on your Mac. A key is remapped in memory as you press it and is never recorded, written to disk, or transmitted. WinKeys is not a keylogger and keeps no history of what you type.
- No usage analytics, no accounts. Remapping never touches the network. WinKeys does keep some notes on your own Mac — see section 2.
- The only thing the WinKeys app ever sends us is a weekly check for a new version, which we count — see section 3. You can turn it off. If you buy a commercial license, that purchase happens here on the website (payment is handled by Stripe — we never see your card number). What you type is never involved.
1. Who We Are
WinKeys is made by twoplus11 LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (twoplus11.com). When this policy says "we," "us," or "our," it means twoplus11 LLC.

2. Data We Do Not Collect
WinKeys is built to be completely private:
- What you type is yours. WinKeys needs Accessibility access because macOS will not let any app see key events without it. It uses that access for exactly one thing: deciding whether the chord you just pressed matches a rule, and passing on the rewritten equivalent if it does. Nothing is buffered, logged, written to disk, or sent anywhere.
- Excluded apps are never inspected. Keys pressed in an app on your exclusion list are passed through untouched, and WinKeys never remaps its own windows.
- What WinKeys stores on your Mac. Your settings only — which rules are switched on, your list of excluded apps, and your scroll-direction preferences — in its preferences file. That is the whole of it. It lives on your Mac and is never transmitted; delete it and you are back to defaults.
- No usage analytics. The app does not report usage or track what you do. Its only request to us is the update check described in section 3, and you can turn it off.
- No accounts at all. WinKeys needs no sign-up and no key — there is no login screen and no activation step, for personal or commercial use.
3. Data We Do Collect
Commercial-license purchases. If you buy a Commercial License, you enter your company name, work email, and number of devices in our checkout form. We receive your company name and email so we can deliver your license key and keep a record of the purchase. Payment is processed by Stripe — your card details go straight to Stripe, and we never see or store them.
Licensing tells us nothing. Your license key is emailed to you as the record of your purchase — there is no activation step and nothing to enter, so installing a commercial license sends us nothing and tells us nothing about your Mac or your files.
Update checks. WinKeys checks whether a newer version exists — automatically about once a week, and whenever you check manually. You can switch the automatic check off. The request goes to api.twoplus11.com and identifies the app and the version you are running; like any web request, it also carries your IP address. It says nothing about your Mac, your disks, or your files.
What we record when it checks. We log each check, so that we can tell roughly how many people still use the app: which app it was, the version reported, the date, the user-agent string, and a salted hash of your IP address — never the address itself, and the salt changes every day. Nothing in that record is tied to your name, an account, or a license. If you go on to install the update, that download is counted the same way. This is the only thing the app ever sends us.
4. If You Contact Us
If you email us — for support or a question about your commercial license — we receive your email address and whatever you choose to put in your message. We use that information only to reply to you. We do not sell or share it.
5. Downloading the App
WinKeys is downloaded from our website, which is hosted by a third-party web host. Like any website, the host may keep standard server access logs (such as IP address) for security and operational purposes. This happens at the web-server level when you visit the download page — the WinKeys application itself does not transmit anything.
6. Children's Privacy
WinKeys is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
7. Your Rights
If you are in the European Union, United Kingdom, or California, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. The only personal data we hold is what you send us by email and, for commercial-license holders, the company name and email tied to your purchase. You can exercise these rights by contacting jeremy@twoplus11.com. We will respond within 30 days. Your commercial-license record is what evidences the license, so deleting it also ends the license.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page when we do. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
