Cocon

Privacy Policy

Cocon collects no personal data. Here is exactly what the app and this website do.

Last updated

In short. Cocon does not collect, share or sell any personal data. It has no account, no analytics and no advertising. It works offline; the only network activity is Apple’s, when you buy or restore Cocon Pro.

1. The app

Cocon is a macOS menu-bar app that draws a transparent overlay on your screens, just above your wallpaper and beneath your windows, and plays ambient sounds. It does not read the contents, titles or app names of your windows, and it does not record, capture or store your screen.

Cocon does not ask for the Screen Recording, Accessibility, Microphone, Camera, Location, Contacts or any other system permission. It runs inside the macOS App Sandbox.

2. Data kept on your device

From version 1.1, Cocon remembers your choices so they are there next time: the last ambiance, each ambiance’s intensity and options, the volume, your startup and keyboard-shortcut choices, and whether Cocon Pro is unlocked. This information stays in the app’s private storage on your Mac. It is never sent anywhere, and it is removed when you delete the app. (Version 1.0 kept nothing between sessions.)

3. Data sent anywhere

The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking code, and the sounds and images are bundled with the app. The only network activity is handled by Apple’s App Store: buying or restoring Cocon Pro, and checking whether you already own it. Apple processes it under its own privacy policy; Cocon does not receive your name, Apple Account or payment details, only whether Cocon Pro is unlocked.

4. This website

This website is a static information page delivered through Cloudflare. Like most hosting providers, Cloudflare may process request data such as IP addresses, timestamps and browser information to deliver the site, prevent abuse and keep it reliable. The site has no account form, no newsletter and no advertising. It uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits (pages viewed, country, device type and referring site); this service does not use cookies and does not track you across other sites.

5. Mac App Store

If you download Cocon from the Mac App Store, Apple processes your download under its own privacy policy. We do not receive your personal information from Apple.

6. Children

Cocon collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

7. Your rights

Cocon holds no personal data about you: its settings stay on your Mac, so there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you have a question about this policy, you can reach us at contact@stanleon.cc. You may also contact your local data protection authority (in France, the CNIL).

8. Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page will show the latest revision.
