Privacy Policy - Tapotin
Last updated: 30 July 2026
In one sentence
Tapotin collects no data. No account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. The app works entirely offline.
The keyboard: what Tapotin does and does not do
Tapotin is a toy that turns the Mac keyboard into an instrument. To do that, it must intercept key presses while the child plays. That is a fair question for a parent to ask, so here is the precise answer.
- Tapotin never records which key was pressed.
- Each press triggers a sound and an animation, then **the information is

What is stored on your Mac
Only your settings, stored locally by macOS and never transmitted:
| Setting | Content |
|---|---|
| Chosen scene and instrument | an identifier, such as ocean |
| Maximum volume, calm mode | a number, a yes/no |
| Letter display | yes/no |
| Exit word | the word you chose to leave the game |
| Key counter | a total number |
| Welcome screen already seen | yes/no |
Deleting the app removes these settings. They never leave the device.
Network
Tapotin contains no server connection code. The only possible network activity is in-app purchases, handled end to end by Apple through the App Store: price display, payment, purchase restoration. We see neither your Apple Account, nor your payment methods, nor your contact details. Apple acts as data controller for these operations; its policy applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
Children
Tapotin is designed for toddlers and follows the App Store Kids Category rules:
- No advertising of any kind.
- No data collection, therefore no children's data.
- No outbound links reachable by the child.
- Every purchase is gated behind a question only an adult can answer, and
settings are reachable only after a gesture a child cannot reproduce.
Your rights
We process no personal data about you. There is therefore nothing on our side to access, correct, export or delete. For purchase-related data, please contact Apple.
Changes
Any change to this policy will be published on this page, with a new update date. If a future version of Tapotin were ever to collect anything, it would be announced here before the release concerned.
