Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026  ·  Effective: January 2026  ·  Document version: 1.3

1. Data Controller

The data controller for personal data collected through the VeraVox website (veravox.audio) and the VeraVox macOS application is:

This policy applies to all personal data processed in connection with the purchase, download, and use of VeraVox, and to visits to the VeraVox website. It is issued in compliance with EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable Italian data protection law.

2. Data We Collect and Why

VeraVox is designed to minimise data collection. The table below describes every category of personal data processed, its source, and the legal basis under Article 6 GDPR.

Category Source Purpose Legal basis (Art. 6 GDPR)
Name, email address, payment data (card details, billing address) Lemon Squeezy checkout Processing your purchase and issuing a licence 6(1)(b) — performance of a contract
Email address Support contact form Responding to technical support requests 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest (providing support)
IP address, browser / OS user agent, referrer URL Register.it web hosting (server logs) Security, abuse prevention, service operation 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest (operating the website securely)
App version, macOS version VeraVox app (Sparkle update framework) Delivering software updates 6(1)(b) — performance of a contract
Licence key, device name (your Mac's host name), activation identifier VeraVox app (licence activation & validation) Activating your licence and periodically confirming it is valid 6(1)(b) — performance of a contract
The VeraVox app does not use cookies, and does not transmit any audio content, library metadata, or listening history to us or to any third-party service. Some optional features exchange data within your own local network, and only once you switch them on: the Web Remote serves its interface to a browser on your network, UPnP/DLNA streaming sends audio to a renderer you select, and the Tuneshine integration sends the current cover art and track details to a display you name. None of these involve the internet, an account, or any server of ours. Where you enable input monitoring (the Vectorscope), microphone audio is processed live on your Mac and is never recorded or transmitted. This website uses GoatCounter to count page views and CTA clicks anonymously, without cookies and without collecting any personal data. Details below.

3. Payments & Licensing — Lemon Squeezy

All purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, the trading name of Sold Through Link, LLC (formerly Lemon Squeezy, LLC), a limited liability company established in Utah, USA and part of the Stripe group, acting as the Merchant of Record for VeraVox. This means Lemon Squeezy is the seller of record for your purchase: it collects your payment details, issues the invoice, and calculates, collects and remits any applicable sales tax or VAT on our behalf.

VeraVox never receives or stores your card number or other payment-sensitive data. Lemon Squeezy processes your data under its own privacy policy, available at lemonsqueezy.com/privacy, and under a data processing agreement entered into with us.

To activate your licence, the VeraVox app contacts Lemon Squeezy's licence API (api.lemonsqueezy.com) and transmits your licence key together with a device name (your Mac's host name), so the activation can be counted against your allowance of three devices. The app then re-validates the licence silently in the background, roughly every seven days while online. No audio, library, or listening data is ever transmitted.

To prevent abuse of the free trial period, VeraVox stores a minimal local identifier on your Mac. This identifier is hashed, contains no personal information, and is never transmitted off your device. It intentionally persists after the app is uninstalled, so the free trial cannot be restarted by reinstalling.

4. Web Hosting — Register.it

The VeraVox website is hosted by Register.it S.p.A., Via Fiume Bianco 22, 00144 Rome, Italy. As part of normal web server operation, Register.it's infrastructure logs each HTTP request, which may include your IP address, the URL requested, timestamp, HTTP status code, and browser user agent.

These logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days for security and abuse-prevention purposes, and are not used for profiling or marketing. Register.it's privacy policy is available at register.it/legal/privacy.

5. Automatic Software Updates — Sparkle

VeraVox uses the open-source Sparkle framework to deliver automatic updates. When checking for updates, Sparkle sends an HTTP request to a VeraVox-controlled server containing:

No personally identifiable information is transmitted. No unique device identifier or licence key is included in the update check request. Update checks occur at application launch and periodically in the background. You can disable automatic update checks in VeraVox's Settings.

The update check payload is intentionally minimal and is not used to track individual users or devices.

6. Support Contact Form

When you contact us via the support form on veravox.audio/support, we collect your email address and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your request and is not shared with third parties or used for marketing purposes.

Support correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to resolve your request and for a reasonable period thereafter (up to 24 months), in case of follow-up queries.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR
