Screen content

Protected Share uses macOS ScreenCaptureKit locally. Configured apps are excluded by the capture filter before a frame reaches the Protected Share window. The current product path does not upload screen frames, run cloud OCR, or save screenshots.

Data stored on your Mac

• Excluded-app preferences and presentation settings.
• Trial state tied to the current Mac.
• License material in macOS Keychain when a key is entered.

Network services

The beta download is hosted on Vercel Blob, and the website is hosted on Vercel. Those providers may receive standard request metadata such as IP address, browser type, and download time. The current beta has no configured screen-upload or crash-reporting endpoint.

Website analytics

The website uses Vercel Web Analytics for aggregate traffic reports. A page-view record may include its timestamp, page URL and dynamic route, external referring site, city, region and country, device type, browser and version, operating system and version, and the analytics script version. Unshown removes URL query strings and fragments before sending page views.

Vercel Web Analytics does not use cookies. Vercel distinguishes a visitor using a hash derived from the incoming request, discards that visitor-session identifier after 24 hours, and reports analytics without associating a data point with an individual or IP address. Unshown uses these reports to understand site traffic and improve the product launch.

Founder-offer demand research

When the founder pricing card becomes visible or its purchase button is clicked, the site stores a random session identifier, the event type, time, page path, referring page without its query string, and available campaign tags. If you submit the checkout-notification form, it also stores your normalized email address and a one-way hash used for deduplication.

These records are kept in a private server-side database and are used to measure pricing interest, contact people who requested checkout access, and improve the launch offer. Unshown does not sell this information. Demand-research records are deleted after no more than 180 days. You can request earlier deletion by emailing the address below.

Support requests

If you use the on-site support form, Unshown stores your email, request category, message, optional app and macOS versions, request time, and one-way network-address hash in the same private database. Support requests are deleted after no more than 180 days.
