Your input stays
on your Mac.
Effective August 29, 2026. Silk Scroll is designed to work without collecting, transmitting, or selling personal data.
Provider
Silk Scroll is developed and operated by Mert Burge, an independent developer in Sweden. Provider and privacy questions can be sent through the contact page.
Data collection
Silk Scroll does not collect personal information, diagnostics, analytics, advertising identifiers, mouse activity, keyboard activity, usage history, or device identifiers. The app contains no analytics or advertising SDKs.
Local processing
Mouse-wheel events are processed temporarily in memory to calculate smoother scrolling. They are not recorded, written to disk, associated with an identity, or transmitted off your Mac.
Preferences
Your enabled state, smoothness, distance, and direction choices are stored in the app’s standard macOS preferences using UserDefaults. These preferences remain on your Mac.
Permissions
Input Monitoring allows Silk Scroll to receive wheel events. Accessibility allows the app to post replacement scroll events. These permissions are used only for the app’s visible scrolling function and can be revoked at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
Network access
Silk Scroll makes no network requests and contains no analytics or advertising code. Visiting this website is separate from using the app and is handled by your browser and the website host.
Website statistics
Silk Scroll stores aggregate page-view and download counts so the provider can understand whether the website is being used. The counters do not store your IP address, browser, mouse model, or any other visitor identifier. Automated crawlers are excluded where they can be identified. The website host may separately process routine request and security logs needed to deliver and protect the site.
Children and third parties
Silk Scroll does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children, and does not share data with third parties because it collects no data.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the effective date and text on this page will be updated before a corresponding app release. For help or privacy questions, use the Silk Scroll contact page.
