Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-10-24
The short version: ProxyRouter is a local macOS app. It routes your network traffic but never sends your browsing history, the contents of your proxied traffic, or your rules to us. To confirm your license, the app periodically connects to our server to get a signed license token bound to this Mac. Only the license details listed below are sent.
What we collect
ProxyRouter comes in two versions: the website version (downloaded from proxyrouter.app and bought through Creem or with USDT) and the App Store version (downloaded and bought on the Mac App Store). We only collect what's needed for licensing, and it differs slightly between the two.
Website version
- Your account email — for sign-in (email codes) and delivering your license.
- Purchase records — plan, status, amount, date — shown on your account page.
- A machine identifier — a hash of your Mac's hardware UUID (never the raw UUID) — for device management; you can unbind it on your account page.
- License checks — the app periodically sends your account sign-in token and the machine identifier to our server to get a signed license token bound to this Mac.
- Trial registration — when a trial starts, the app sends the machine identifier and this Mac's first-launch time. Our server stores the trial start and end dates for that device to prevent repeated trials.
- USDT payments — your email, the order amount and the ID of the paying transaction. Transactions on the TRON blockchain, including the sending address and amount, are public and permanent by design.
App Store version
- A machine identifier — as above, a hash of your Mac's hardware UUID.
- App Store transaction details — Apple-signed purchase records containing the product ID, transaction ID and expiry date, but not your Apple ID or payment details. The app periodically sends them, together with the machine identifier, to our server to confirm your purchase and issue a signed license token bound to this Mac.
- Transaction-to-device link — our server keeps a record of which transaction ID is used on which machine identifier, to prevent abuse.
The App Store version doesn't need an account, so we never receive your email address.
What we don't collect
- Your proxied traffic, the sites you visit, or your DNS queries.
- Your rules, profiles, or proxy credentials — those live only on your device.
- Behavioral analytics or ad tracking.
Third parties
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Creem | Website version: payments, billing and sales tax, as Merchant of Record. |
| Apple | App Store version: payments, subscriptions, refunds and cancellations through the App Store. |
| Site counters (our own) | Daily totals of page views and downloads. No IP addresses, user agents, or anything that identifies a person is stored. |
| Cloudflare | Hosting and database for the site and account backend. |
| TronGrid | Website USDT payments: reads public TRON blockchain data to detect payments to our address. We send it only our own address, never your email. |
| Resend | Website version: sending login codes and license emails. |
For the website version, payment details (card numbers, etc.) are handled by Creem, our merchant of record; we never see or store them. For USDT payments we only see public blockchain data: the sending address, the amount and the transaction ID.
App Store version
- When you buy through the App Store, Apple handles the payment and we never see your payment details.
- The App Store version doesn't require an account.
- Refunds and subscription cancellations are handled by Apple (App Store → Account → Subscriptions, or reportaproblem.apple.com).
Retention & your rights
Account and purchase data is kept until you ask us to delete it. You can contact us anytime to export or delete your data. For the App Store version, you can also ask us to delete the transaction-to-device records. After you delete your account, the license token already on your Mac stays valid until it expires (at most 72 hours); the same applies to the App Store version after a refund or when a subscription ends. After that, ProxyRouter stops proxying and all apps connect directly, but your rules and settings stay on your Mac and are not deleted.
