To provide and improve LocalTR, the following personal data is processed:
2.1. License and Payment Data
- License key: a unique string generated upon purchase
- Purchase email address: for license assignment and support contact
- Payment information: handled by the payment provider (LemonSqueezy); LocalTR/TeknoWeb stores only the transaction reference number — card numbers, CVV, and similar data are never transmitted to TeknoWeb systems
2.2. Device and Activation Data
- Anonymized device fingerprint: to prevent license abuse; stored as a SHA-256 hash derived from the Device's MAC address and hardware identifiers. The original MAC address is never sent to our servers and the hash is irreversible.
- macOS version: to verify product compatibility
- LocalTR version number: to correlate error reports with the running version
2.3. Anonymous Crash Reports
- Stack trace: the code path where the error occurred
- Operating system info: macOS version, language, hardware architecture
- LocalTR version
Crash reports contain no personal data: usernames, file paths, license keys, IP addresses, and MAC addresses are excluded. Submission requires user consent (default: off).
2.4. Data NOT Processed
LocalTR does not process or collect:
- The contents of services running on the User's local machine (captured HTTP request/response bodies remain on the User's device and are never transmitted to TeknoWeb servers, under any circumstances)

- Apple ID or iCloud information
- Location data
- Keystrokes or screenshots
