BatteryBaePrivacy Policy
Last updated 3 June 2026
BatteryBae is built to collect as little as possible — ideally, nothing. This policy explains exactly what happens to data when you use the App and the website.
The short version
- No analytics, tracking, or telemetry. The App doesn't profile you or your usage, and the website runs no analytics or advertising cookies.
- It reads only your battery, charging, idle, thermal and power-mode state, locally on your Mac, to decide when to react. None of that is transmitted.
- It asks for no microphone, camera, location, contacts, accessibility, or administrator access. It does ask once for permission to show notifications (so its lines can appear as banners).
- It makes two kinds of network request: checking for app updates, and (Plus only) validating your licence — both described below. The App keeps working offline between checks.
App updates
The App periodically checks our update service (api.amore.computer, operated by our distribution provider, Amore) for new versions. As with any web request, this exposes your IP address, the app version, and your macOS version to that service. We use this only to deliver updates; no analytics profile is attached.
Licence validation (Plus)
If you buy Plus and activate a licence key, the App sends the licence key, a device identifier derived from your Mac's serial number, your computer's name, and a one-time code to our licensing provider (Amore) to issue and periodically re-check (about weekly) a signed licence token. This ties the licence to your device(s) and prevents abuse — it is not used to track behaviour. Between checks the App validates the token offline within a grace period.
Purchases
Whali Technologies Ltd is the seller and merchant of record. Payments are processed on our behalf by Stripe; licence keys are issued and validated by Amore. Stripe processes your payment and contact details under its own privacy policy — we never see or store your full card details. We receive only what we need to deliver your licence, provide support, and meet tax/accounting obligations.
Who we share data with
We use a small number of processors, each only for the purpose shown: Stripe (payment processing, including tax calculation), Amore (licence issuance/validation and update delivery), and Vercel (website hosting). Some may process data outside the UK under appropriate safeguards.
This website
The BatteryBae website serves static pages on Vercel with no analytics or advertising cookies. The host may retain standard server logs for security and reliability. If we add analytics in future, we will update this policy first.
If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply and provide support. We don't add you to marketing lists without consent.
Lawful basis (UK/EU GDPR)
We rely on: performance of a contract (delivering and validating your licence, providing updates and support); legitimate interests (keeping the App secure and preventing licence abuse); and legal obligation (tax/accounting records).
Your rights
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability, under UK/EU GDPR. To exercise any of these — or to complain — email admin@whali.co.uk. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Children
BatteryBae is a suggestive novelty app intended for adults. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
