Official information about the Klakk website editions ·
Input Monitoring and Privacy
In the Mac website edition 1.4.1 (build 23), Klakk processes key-down, key-up and modifier events and physical key codes locally for sounds and its shortcut. It does not store typed text or upload raw keyboard events. App usage analytics and direct-purchase and license communication are separate data flows.
What Input Monitoring allows
Input Monitoring lets Klakk receive keyboard events across applications, including key-down, key-up and modifier-key events. Klakk uses physical key codes to choose sounds and recognize its shortcut locally. This permission is broader than a signal that a key was pressed. You can revoke it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Input Monitoring.
Data saved on your Mac
Sound, volume, output, login and trial preferences are stored on your Mac. The direct-download edition also saves an installation identifier, a private token, license state and failed usage requests locally. Removing the app does not automatically remove these files or server records.
App usage analytics
The Mac website edition uses the Firebase Analytics SDK for app events, including launches, settings and sound selections, permissions, typing activity, trial and purchase actions. Typing activity records that the app was used, rather than the characters typed. Shortcut configuration can be included as a setting. Google also receives app-instance identifiers and device or system information.
Website analytics
The website uses Google Analytics for page views, link and download clicks, page language and campaign labels. Its browser tag uses cookies or similar browser identifiers. Page and referrer URLs omit query strings; permitted campaign labels are sent separately. A download click is not confirmation that a file finished downloading or the app was installed.
Usage and purchase communication
Raw keyboard events, typed text, card details, license keys and private installation tokens are not sent to Google Analytics. The direct-edition Cloudflare service receives usage milestones, version, event and first-launch times, and identifiers needed to authenticate an installation. It sends verified purchase or refund events with order ID, amount and currency to Google. Failed usage requests are queued locally for retry.
Direct purchases and the Mac App Store
Creem processes direct purchases; Apple processes Mac App Store purchases. They are separate distributions with separate licenses. Creem handles contact and billing information needed for direct purchases, receipts and tax. If you contact support, we receive your message and contact details. These are separate from usage analytics.
Retention and access requests
As checked on 9 October 2026, this Google Analytics property retains event data for 2 months and user data for 14 months. New user activity resets the user retention period. These settings do not determine the retention of most standard aggregate reports or Cloudflare license and order records. For access, deletion or retention questions, contact [email protected].
