Privacy Policy — Clicktastical
Last updated: September 28, 2026 · Effective: September 28, 2026
Bravely Studios LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) makes Clicktastical, a free app that records mouse clicks and keystrokes so you can replay them. Recording input is exactly the kind of thing you should read a privacy policy about, so this one is short and specific.
The Short Version
What you record stays on your computer. Your macros are saved as ordinary files on your own disk. We do not upload them, we cannot read them, and there is no sync, no cloud library, and no backup of them on our servers. If you delete a macro file, it is gone.
What Clicktastical Reads, and When
To do its job Clicktastical has to watch input while you are recording and send input while it is playing back. On a Mac those are two separate permissions you grant in System Settings, and macOS shows Clicktastical in that list so you can revoke either one at any time.
• Watching input (Input Monitoring) is used only while you are recording. When you are not recording, Clicktastical is not watching.
• Sending input (Accessibility) is used only while a macro is playing.
What it captures while recording is the positions you click, which mouse button, scroll amounts, and, if you leave the keystroke option on, which keys you press. That capture is written to your macro file on your disk and nowhere else.
Passwords
While a password field is focused, macOS stops sending keystrokes to any app that is watching input, including this one. Those keystrokes are never delivered to Clicktastical, so they are never recorded. You can also turn keystroke recording off entirely in Settings and record mouse actions only.
Your Account and the Free Claim
Clicktastical is free and requires a Bravely Account, which is covered by its own policy at bravely.dev/privacy/bravely-account. The first time you sign in you can claim free lifetime access. Claiming records your Bravely Account identifier, that you claimed this app, and when. That is the whole record. There is no payment step anywhere in this app. The claim card includes a marketing-email checkbox; where local law requires it the box starts unticked, and if you leave it unticked we do not add you to any list.
Analytics
We record aggregate product analytics so we can tell what is worth building and what is broken: that the app was opened, that a macro was recorded, saved, or played, how many steps it had, and whether a permission was granted. We do not send the contents of your macros, the coordinates you clicked, the keys you pressed, or the text you typed. You can turn analytics off in Settings.
Updates
Clicktastical checks our servers for a new version. That check tells us the version you are on and the usual information any download involves, such as your IP address. It does not carry anything about your macros.
Data Retention
Your macros live on your computer until you delete them, and are removed when you uninstall only if you delete them yourself. Free-claim records are kept for as long as your account exists, since the claim is what records that the app is yours. Analytics events are kept in aggregate. Deleting your Bravely Account removes your claim as described in the Bravely Account policy, and has no effect on the macro files on your disk, which were never ours.
Children's Privacy
Clicktastical is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under 16 in places where 16 is the relevant age for information-society services.
Backups
We keep backups so that we can recover our customers' data if it is ever lost. Each night we copy the databases that hold accounts, purchases and the content our apps and services keep for their users, including sign-in records and the protected form of passwords, and we copy the files stored with us, such as documents, screenshots and attachments. Unless a section above says otherwise, the account, purchase and content records this policy describes, and the files you store with us, are in these backups.
Where backups are kept
Backups are kept in two places, both in the United States: on storage equipment that we own, and in Amazon S3, a storage service run by Amazon Web Services. Every copy of a database or of sign-in records is encrypted, with a key that only we hold, before it is stored in either place. The copies of stored files that we keep in Amazon S3 are also encrypted with a key that only we hold, file names included; the copy of those files on our own equipment is not separately encrypted. Amazon does not have our keys, so it cannot read your data in the backups.
How long backups are kept
Each night's copy of our databases and sign-in records is deleted after 90 days and fully purged within 30 days after that, so it is kept for about four months at most. One copy each month is kept for up to 12 months instead, and fully purged within 30 days after that, so it is kept for about 13 months at most. The backup of stored files keeps each file for as long as it is stored with us; when a file is deleted or replaced, the backup keeps the earlier version for 90 days and then deletes it. Separately, Cloudflare, which runs most of our databases, keeps a recovery history of each of them for 30 days.
How backups are used
We use backups and that recovery history only to restore data after it has been lost, for example in an outage, through a mistake or in an attack, and we also use backups to test that restoring works. Deleting something, or deleting your account, does not remove it from backups made before the deletion or from the recovery history: those copies stay until they are deleted on the schedules above. If we restore data from a backup or from the recovery history, we re-apply the deletions made after the point we restore to, including account deletions, so that the restore does not bring back data that had been deleted.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you have rights over the personal data we hold about you. We honor these rights for everyone who asks, regardless of where you live.
• Access — ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy.
• Correction — ask us to fix data that is wrong or incomplete.
• Deletion — ask us to delete your personal data by emailing privacy@bravely.dev from the address on your account. Where a product has a built-in Delete Account control you can use that instead; bravely.dev/delete-account explains what applies to each product.
• Portability — ask for your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Objection and restriction — ask us to stop or limit certain processing.
• Withdraw consent — where we rely on consent (for example, marketing email), you can withdraw it at any time without affecting processing that already happened.
• Non-discrimination — we will not degrade your service or charge you more for exercising any of these rights.
EEA and UK residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. California residents may use an authorized agent; we may verify the agent's authority and confirm the request with you first. Other US states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and others as they take effect) have equivalent rights, including a right to appeal a denied request — reply to our decision email with "Appeal" and we will respond in writing within the period the law requires. Canadian residents have access, correction, and consent-withdrawal rights under PIPEDA; Australian residents have access and correction rights under the Australian Privacy Principles.
To exercise any right, email privacy@bravely.dev. We respond within the timeframe the applicable law requires — generally 30 days under GDPR and 45 days under the CCPA, with an extension where the law permits one. We may need to verify your identity before acting, usually by confirming control of the email address on the account.
Legal Basis for Processing
If you are in the EEA or UK, we rely on these lawful bases under the GDPR and UK GDPR:
• Performance of a contract — creating and securing your account, delivering the features you paid for, syncing your content, processing purchases, and providing support.
• Legitimate interests — keeping the service secure and reliable, preventing fraud and abuse, understanding how our products are used through usage events tied to an installation or to your account, and improving the product. We balance these against your rights and do not use them to justify intrusive tracking. Where an app lets you turn its usage analytics off, doing so is one way to object.
• Consent — marketing email, and anything else we ask your permission for before we collect it. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation — keeping tax, accounting, and consent records, and responding to lawful requests.
International Data Transfers
Bravely Studios LLC is a US company. We and our sub-processors process data in the United States and in other countries where they operate. For personal data originating in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate transfer safeguards in our processor agreements — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum — where those safeguards are required. Email privacy@bravely.dev if you want more detail about the safeguards that apply to you.
California Notice at Collection
For California residents, the categories of personal information we collect for this product are:
• Identifiers — your Bravely Account identifier, email address, and device or installation identifiers.
• Commercial information — records of purchases, subscriptions, entitlements, trials, and refunds.
• Internet or other electronic network activity — usage events, which carry an installation or browser identifier, your Bravely Account identifier, an identifier for a single request or purchase, or only a shared identifier for the app and platform; app version and platform; crash and error reports.
• Coarse geolocation — a country-level signal derived from your network connection, used for consent rules and tax.
• Your content — only the content the product is built to store or sync for you, described in the sections above.
We collect this from you, your device, and our own systems, and we use it to run the product, honor what you have bought, keep the service secure, and support you. We disclose it to the service providers listed under "Sub-processors," each for a business purpose under a written contract.
We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined by the CCPA and CPRA, and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose that would trigger the right to limit. If that ever changes we will update this policy and provide the required opt-out before the practice begins.
Retention is described under "Data Retention" and "Backups" above and, for account-level data, in the Bravely Account privacy policy.
Sub-processors
We use the following service providers to run this product. They receive only what they need to perform their service for us, and each is bound by the data-processing terms that apply to our use of their service. Where a provider is not yet covered by a written data-processing agreement with us, its entry below says so. If you need a data-processing agreement in place before you use this product, email privacy@bravely.dev:
• Cloudflare, Inc.: hosting, the Workers runtime, D1 databases, R2 object storage, and bot protection for bravely.dev and our app subdomains. See cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
• Google LLC: Firebase Authentication, which backs Bravely Account sign-in (including Sign in with Google). See policies.google.com/privacy.
• Apple Inc.: Sign in with Apple, and App Store purchase and receipt handling for our Apple platform apps. See apple.com/legal/privacy.
• Paddle.com Market Ltd: our merchant of record for purchases made on the web or in our desktop apps. Paddle handles checkout, payment processing, invoicing, and sales tax/VAT. When you open a checkout while signed in, we give it your email address; otherwise you enter it on Paddle's checkout page. Each purchase carries the app it is for, any campaign tags on the link that brought you to checkout, and either your Bravely Account identifier or, for a purchase made before you had signed in, a temporary identifier that we link to your account when you claim the purchase. As the seller of record, Paddle keeps its own records of your purchases. See paddle.com/legal/privacy.
• RevenueCat, Inc.: keeps the purchase record for each Bravely Account. It validates App Store and Google Play purchases and reports subscription changes, and we also record trials and web and desktop purchases with it, so we can unlock what you bought on every platform. We identify you to it by your Bravely Account identifier. The first time you sign in with Apple or Google, and on some other sign-ins, we also send it your email address, your name (when the sign-in provides one), your country and the app you signed in from. Some apps also record with it the name of the device you use, and a few older parts of our service identify you to it by your email address instead. See revenuecat.com/privacy.
• PostHog Inc.: product analytics. Our apps, some of our websites and our account service send it usage events, such as which features are used and the steps of signing in, starting a trial and buying, and our websites and web apps also send it recordings of how their pages are used. An event carries an identifier for the installation or browser it came from, your Bravely Account identifier, or both (most apps add your account identifier once you have signed in); a few events, such as a failed sign-in or a purchase made before you had signed in, carry an identifier for that one request or purchase instead, and some copies of app events that reach it through our account service carry only a shared identifier for the app and platform. PostHog receives the network address each event was sent from. A few apps also send it your email address, and a few older parts of our service identify you to it by your email address instead. The Bravely Account policy describes this under "Usage and Purchase Analytics". See posthog.com/privacy.
• Resend Inc.: sends our transactional email (sign-in codes, receipts, password resets, support replies). See resend.com/legal/privacy-policy.
• Amazon Web Services, Inc.: Amazon S3, which stores our backups in the United States, as described under "Backups". The copies of your data that we keep there are encrypted, with a key that only we hold, before they leave our systems, so Amazon cannot read them. See aws.amazon.com/privacy.
If we add or change a sub-processor in a way that materially changes how your data is processed, we will update this policy and give additional notice where the law or our data-processing commitments require it.
Security
We protect your data with authenticated accounts, encryption in transit, access controls on our backend systems, and a deliberately small number of people who can reach production. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim guarantees we have not built and verified. Where a product makes a specific security claim, that claim appears in the app-specific sections above and is limited to what we have actually shipped. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and the relevant regulators as required by law.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change — a new category of data, a new sub-processor, a new purpose, or a new legal basis — we will update the "Last updated" and "Effective" dates and give additional notice where the law requires it. Where a change requires fresh consent under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CASL, or a similar regime, we will ask for it before relying on the new purpose. Non-material changes (typos, clarifications, link fixes) are reflected by updating the "Last updated" date.
