# PerformanceDaddy: Privacy

> PerformanceDaddy investigates the local Mac. It does not read agent conversations.

## Marketing-site analytics

This static marketing site uses Microsoft Clarity to understand aggregate page use, heatmaps, and session replays. Clarity may process interaction and device data under Microsoft's privacy terms; sensitive page content is masked. This tracking is limited to the website and is not included in the native app.

## Process evidence

The app reads available process names, identities, resource measurements, executable and working-directory metadata, and local sockets. It does not collect command arguments, environment variables or agent transcripts. Visibility depends on macOS permissions.

## Configuration and terminal experiments

The configuration inventory checks bounded known filenames and metadata without reading their contents. Opt-in terminal profiling executes startup scripts and those scripts can read files, use credentials, access networks or start background jobs. Consent is required before that experiment.

## Email updates

Email updates are optional and sent through SaaS Maker. Signing up sends your email address and explicit consent, which SaaS Maker stores as subscription records to manage occasional PerformanceDaddy product updates. The form does not send process measurements, configuration metadata or native app data. You can unsubscribe at any time.

## Exports and this page

Default snapshot exports omit names, paths, raw PIDs and bind addresses. Review anything before sharing it. App Health collects website page views and named clicks on the Mac download and GitHub source links, with basic referral and campaign information; it does not receive local process data. Hosting requests can include ordinary connection data. The AI footer opens a question about the public product only when clicked.

## Product boundaries

- Requires macOS 14 or later
- No cloud agent sessions or conversation inspection
- No remote port scan or automatic remediation
- Root cause is not guaranteed; blocked-thread, disk-latency and network-latency proof is unavailable
- Raw fan RPM, temperature and GPU monitoring are not implemented
- Configuration inventory is bounded metadata, not every file or effective configuration
- Terminal startup profiling executes scripts only after consent and may have side effects
