WillisMD Pro Privacy Policy | Lacy Digital Labs

Effective Date: July 15, 2026

The Short Version

WillisMD Pro is a local-first markdown editor. We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data, usage data, or telemetry. All of your files and content are processed entirely on your device and never leave it.

One exception applies to the Linux version. If you buy it directly from our store, our Merchant of Record (Lemon Squeezy) and payment processor (Stripe) collect your name, billing address, and email to complete the sale, and Lacy Digital Labs keeps only your email address — used solely to tell you about updates to the app you bought, never for marketing, and never sold. See “Purchases & Payment Processing” below.

1. Information We Collect

None. WillisMD Pro does not collect any personal information, usage statistics, crash reports, or analytics of any kind. The application operates entirely offline and locally on your device.

2. Local Data Processing

WillisMD Pro reads and writes files solely on your local file system at locations you choose. Your documents, preferences, and settings remain on your device at all times. Specifically:

All markdown files are read from and saved to directories you select.
Application preferences are stored locally on your device.
No data is uploaded to, processed by, or stored on any external server.
No network connections are initiated by the application.

3. Telemetry and Analytics

WillisMD Pro does not include any telemetry, analytics, or crash-reporting frameworks. We do not track how you use the application, which features you access, how often you use it, or any other behavioral data.

4. Tracking and Advertising

WillisMD Pro does not use cookies, tracking pixels, advertising identifiers, fingerprinting, or any other tracking technologies. We do not display advertisements and we do not participate in any advertising networks.

5. Purchases & Payment Processing

If you purchase WillisMD Pro through the Apple App Store, Microsoft Store, or any other distribution platform, that platform may collect transaction and account information as part of the purchase process. This data is collected and managed by the respective platform, not by us. Please refer to the applicable platform's privacy policy for details:

We do not receive, store, or have access to your payment information, Apple ID, Microsoft account, or any other account credentials.

Direct purchases of the Linux version. The Linux edition of WillisMD Pro is sold directly from our own online store rather than through a platform app store. When you buy it this way, a few commerce partners are involved and a limited amount of information is handled off your device:

Merchant of Record — Lemon Squeezy. Our store is operated by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record for the sale. To meet tax and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) requirements, Lemon Squeezy collects your name, billing address, and email address during checkout.
Payment processing — Stripe. The financial transaction is processed by Stripe, which handles your payment-card details. We never see or store your card information.
What we keep. From this process Lacy Digital Labs receives and retains only your email address. We use it solely to reach you about the app you purchased — for example, to let you know when a new version, patch, or feature is available. We do not use it for marketing, and we will never sell or rent it to any third party.

You can ask us to delete your email address at any time (see “Your Data Rights” below). For how these partners handle your information, see the Lemon Squeezy Privacy Policy and the Stripe Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Services

WillisMD Pro does not integrate with, send data to, or receive data from any third-party services, APIs, or cloud platforms. The application is fully self-contained.

7. Children's Privacy

Because WillisMD Pro does not collect any data from any user, it does not knowingly or unknowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 (or any other age). The application is safe for users of all ages.

8. Your Data Rights

Because WillisMD Pro does not collect, process, or store any personal data, there is no personal data to access, correct, delete, or transfer. Your files exist only on your device under your full control.

The one piece of personal data we may hold is the email address collected when you buy the Linux version directly from our store (see “Purchases & Payment Processing” above). You may ask us to access or delete that email address at any time by contacting our support center; we will delete it promptly, after which you will no longer receive our update notices for the app.

If you have any questions about your data, please contact us using the information below.

9. Data Security

Since WillisMD Pro does not collect or transmit data, there is no risk of your data being intercepted, breached, or exposed through our application. Your files are protected by your operating system's built-in security mechanisms and any encryption you apply at the device level.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date, and we encourage you to review this page periodically.
