Privacy Policy
Last updated 15 November 2026
In short: Termhint works out completions on your Mac. What you type in your terminal is never sent to us or to anyone else. The app has no analytics or advertising code, and this website sets no cookies.
Who is responsible
The controller of the personal data described here is the seller named in our legal notice. Write to hello@termhint.com with any question about this policy.
The app
Your shell sends the command line you are typing to the Termhint app on the same Mac, over a local channel that only your macOS user can open. Termhint uses it to find suggestions and then discards it. It is not stored, logged or sent over the network.
The app connects to the internet only for these things:
| When | To | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| You activate or the app re-checks your license | Lemon Squeezy (api.lemonsqueezy.com) | Your license key, an activation ID, and your Mac's model identifier (for example Mac14,2) as the activation's name. Not your name, your Mac's name or anything you type. |
| The app checks for updates | termhint.com and downloads.termhint.com | An ordinary web request: your IP address and the app's name and version. |
| You install a runtime (Node, Python, …) | That runtime's publisher, for example nodejs.org | An ordinary download request. Termhint verifies the download's signature on your Mac. |
| You sign in to download Xcode | Apple | Your Apple sign-in, made on Apple's own page. The session stays in your Mac's Keychain. |
Settings, themes and your license key stay on your Mac (the key in your Keychain).
Purchases
Our online reseller, Lemon Squeezy, is the merchant of record for all orders. It handles checkout, payment, taxes and invoices under its own privacy policy. We never see your card details. Lemon Squeezy shares with us the order details we need to provide your license and support: your name, email address, country and what you bought.
When you write to us, we use your message and address to answer you and keep them only as long as that conversation needs.
