Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
This policy explains what mhugo LLC, doing business as J|K|L ("we"), collects through jkltools.com, our apps and our email, and what we do with it. The short version: our apps work on your Mac and never send your media or projects anywhere, and we collect only what's needed to sell you a licence and support you.
The website
jkltools.com sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other sites. Our host, Netlify, records standard server logs (such as IP address, the page requested, browser type and time) to run and secure the site, and keeps them for a limited time under its own policies.
When you buy or download
Lemon Squeezy is our merchant of record. When you buy, it collects your name, email address, billing country, payment details and tax information, and handles them under its own privacy policy. We never see your full card details. Free apps, such as Bin|Set, download straight from jkltools.com: we don't ask for your name or email to get them.
Lemon Squeezy shares with us your name, email, country, what you bought and your licence key. We use them to deliver your licence, honour updates and upgrades, answer you, and handle refunds and fraud. We don't sell your information or use it for advertising. We email you about the app you got (its download and updates). News about other J|K|L apps goes only to people who tick the box for it at checkout or sign up for it on our site, and every such email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Our apps
Our apps process your media and projects on your Mac. They never upload your media, sequences, project files or anything about their contents.
The licence check. To unlock and confirm a licence, the app sends to Lemon Squeezy: your licence key, your Mac's name (as set in macOS, for example "Edit Bay 2", so you can tell your Macs apart) and the activation ID Lemon Squeezy assigns to that Mac. It sends them when you unlock, when it checks the licence while you're online, and when you release a Mac. To list the Macs on your licence, the app sends your key to a small function on jkltools.com, which asks Lemon Squeezy and keeps nothing (Netlify logs the request like a page request). In Studio mode the app makes none of these connections.
Update checks. When an app checks for updates, it downloads a small file from jkltools.com, sending only the app's name and version. Netlify logs that request like any other page request.
Problem reports. If you choose to send a problem report, it goes by email to us and includes only what the report shows you before you send it.
Betas. If you join a beta, we keep your name and email to send you builds and beta news, and delete them when the beta ends unless you've signed up for news or bought a licence.
Update and launch emails. If you sign up on our site for email updates and product launches, including when you download an app, we keep your email address only to send those emails. It isn't linked to the download, the download count or the app. Sign-ups are held by Netlify, our website host, which also records the IP address and browser with each one, and later by Lemon Squeezy if we send through it. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and we delete your address when you unsubscribe.
Email to hello@jkltools.com is stored with Apple iCloud. We keep it as long as needed to help you and to keep records of sales and support, then delete it.
Why we use it, and where it's kept
We use your information to sell and deliver what you asked for (a contract with you), to keep records the law requires, to keep our site and licences secure (our legitimate interest), and to send news only if you asked for it (your consent, which you can withdraw at any time). We're based in the USA, and the services below keep data in the USA and other countries; where the law requires, they use approved safeguards such as standard contractual clauses for data from the EU and UK.
Who else receives your information
Only the services that run our business: Lemon Squeezy (payments, tax, licence keys), Netlify (website hosting and the sign-up form) and Apple iCloud (email). We may also disclose information if the law requires it or to protect our rights.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or object to how we use it, by writing to hello@jkltools.com. Depending on where you live (for example, the EU, the UK or California), you may have further rights under local law, including complaining to your data protection authority. We'll answer within the time the law requires. For purchase records held by Lemon Squeezy, we'll pass your request on or point you to them. We don't sell or share personal information as California law defines those terms.
Children
Our apps and website are for professionals and aren't directed at children under 16.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. Significant changes will be announced on the site.
