Drip does its work on your Mac, and your files never leave it. There’s no account and no ads, and the app doesn’t track what you do with it. This page lists everything that does leave your Mac, and what we hold about you.
What stays on your Mac
The files you bring to the notch, everything Drip makes from them, what you keep for later, and your settings, including the apps Drip stays out of, are all kept on your Mac. We never receive them. Jobs like Remove the background and Read the words use features built into macOS, on the Mac.
What leaves your Mac
- Licence checks. When you enter a key, Drip sends Dodo Payments the key and the name of your Mac, so you can see which Mac uses it. About once a week after that, it sends the key again to check it’s still valid. Nothing goes to Dodo Payments during the trial.
- Update checks. Once a day, Drip asks drip.neebarp.com for a small file that says whether there’s a new version. Like any web request, that includes your IP address and the version of Drip you have. Nothing about your files or how you use Drip is sent.
- What you ask for. Buy opens Dodo’s checkout in your browser, and Email Support opens your mail app with a new message to us.
The free trial
So that reinstalling Drip doesn’t start the trial again, the app may tell a small Neebarp server, at most once a day, an anonymous ID for your Mac, whether Drip is in its trial, licensed or past its trial, and its version. The ID is a one-way hash of your Mac’s hardware ID mixed with the app’s name, so it can’t be turned back into the hardware ID or traced to you, and it can’t be matched with the IDs our other apps send. The server remembers the first day it heard from that ID. It keeps no name, email address, IP address or anything about your files. To slow down abuse it holds a scrambled form of the IP address for one minute, then drops it.
When you buy
Dodo Payments runs the checkout as our merchant of record, so your card details go to them and never reach us. Dodo shares what we need to run the business: your name, email address, country, what you bought and your licence key. We use that to deliver your key, give support and handle refunds, and we keep it for as long as tax and accounting rules require. Dodo’s own privacy policy covers what it collects.
This website
If you choose Allow on this website’s cookie banner, it uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to see how people find and use it: which pages are visited, where visitors come from and roughly which country, clicks on the Download and Buy buttons, which tutorial videos are played, how far people scroll, and Clarity’s recordings of scrolling and clicks on these pages. Both set cookies. Choose No thanks and neither loads. You can change your mind any time with Cookies at the bottom of every page.
The site’s fonts come from Google Fonts, so your browser fetches them from Google like any other web request. The site is hosted by Vercel, which, like any web host, keeps short-lived logs of requests, including IP addresses. The Drip download and the daily update file come from the same host. This is the only place Drip has analytics: the app itself has none.
