Privacy Policy
Effective September 22, 2026
The short version
HoverWord collects nothing. There is no telemetry, no analytics, no advertising SDKs, no tracking pixels, and no user accounts. The app runs entirely on your Mac and works fully offline.
Data stored on your Mac
Your word libraries, recite progress, favorites, and app preferences are stored locally on your Mac using the system data framework. They never leave your device.
You can delete this data at any time by removing the app; everything is stored inside the app's local container.
Network access
HoverWord itself makes no network requests. Pronunciation uses the built-in macOS text-to-speech engine, which works offline.
Downloads and updates are served through GitHub. When you visit GitHub, its own privacy policy applies.
