Privacy policy
The short version: the application collects nothing at all, and the website collects as little as it can.
Last updated: 14 April 2026
The application
WinMacro contains no analytics, no update checker, no crash reporter and no networking code of any kind. It does not create an account, does not phone home, and does not transmit your recordings anywhere.
Recordings you make exist only in memory until you choose to save them. When you do, they are written to the location you pick on your own computer and are never sent to us.
Worth knowing: a recording captures keystrokes,
which may include text you typed into a password field. Treat saved
.rec files and compiled macros as sensitive, and do not share
them without checking what they contain.
This website
The site is made up of static files. There is no database, no server-side code and no login. We do not run any script that identifies or profiles visitors.
Our hosting provider keeps short-term access logs — the requested address, the time, and the browser's user-agent string — for operational purposes such as detecting abuse. We do not use those logs to build a profile of anyone, and we do not combine them with any other data.
We do not use advertising networks, tracking pixels, session recorders or third-party analytics services.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies. Nothing is stored in your browser beyond the normal page cache.
If you write to us, we keep the message and your email address for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, and for up to twelve months afterwards in case you follow up. We do not add you to a mailing list and we do not pass your address to anyone else.
Third parties
The site is served by our hosting provider, which handles requests on our behalf. We share personal data with no one else, and we do not sell data under any circumstances.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it erased. Write to privacy@winmacro.net and we will respond within 30 days. Given how little we collect, in most cases the answer is that we hold nothing beyond an old support email.
Children
WinMacro is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page is updated. We will not apply a materially different policy to data already collected under this one.
