Lasso Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 16, 2026

Graviro (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides Lasso, a macOS menu-bar utility. Lasso is designed to process selected screen content privately on your Mac.

Information Lasso processes

When you deliberately select part of your screen, Lasso temporarily processes the selected pixels and any recognized text to suggest actions. Depending on the content, this may include event details, tables, errors, addresses, tracking numbers, sensitive text, receipt information, QR codes, contact details, reminders, links, measurements, time zones, developer data, summaries, translations, or colors.

Data collection

Lasso does not collect, upload, sell, or share your screenshots, recognized text, or extracted fields. Those never leave your Mac. Lasso does not include advertising, attribution, or third-party tracking SDKs, and it has no accounts or logins.

Lasso does report anonymous usage analytics, which you can turn off. See "Usage analytics" below.

Usage analytics

So that we can tell which features are worth improving, Lasso reports anonymous events describing how the app is used, never what you capture.

A report can say that a capture began and whether the keyboard shortcut or the menu bar started it; whether any text was recognized, with its length as a coarse range such as "100-499" rather than an exact count; the approximate size of your selection as a label such as "small"; which detectors matched, by name, such as "event" or "link"; which action was recommended and which one you chose; whether a permission request succeeded; which recognition modules you have enabled; and whether an on-device explanation, summary, or translation succeeded or failed.

A report never contains recognized text, an extracted value, a name, an address, a tracking number, a receipt figure, a URL, a file path, a color, or the name or rules of a Custom Parser Pack.

Each report carries a random identifier that Lasso generates on first launch and stores in its own local container. It is not derived from your Mac, your hardware, your name, or any account, it is never combined with information from other companies, and deleting Lasso deletes it. Its only purpose is to tell repeat use apart from first use. Reports also include your macOS version, your Mac's general model (for example "Mac"), your app version, and your language code. They do not include your time zone, your display size, or your network type.

Reports are processed by PostHog, Inc., an analytics provider based in the United States, on Graviro's behalf and stored in its United States data region. Lasso never identifies you to PostHog, so no user profile is created. Like any server, PostHog sees the IP address of the connection that delivers a report; Lasso instructs it not to derive a location from that address and replaces the address stored with each report by a placeholder, so neither your IP address nor your location is kept. PostHog's own privacy policy is available at https://posthog.com/privacy.

Analytics are on by default. To turn them off, open Settings → Privacy and switch off "Share anonymous usage analytics". With the switch off, Lasso opens no network connection for analytics at all.

Storage

Selections and recognized content are kept temporarily in memory and discarded when the interaction ends or expires. Lasso stores only preferences, such as your chosen shortcut and default output formats, plus the random analytics identifier described above. It does not keep a capture history.

Lasso writes an image or text to the clipboard, saves a file, or creates a Calendar event, contact, or reminder only after you explicitly choose and confirm the relevant action.

Custom Parser Packs are stored locally in the app container. They contain user-created matching rules and templates, not executable code. Custom parsers cannot directly access files, accounts, system permissions, or the network. A custom HTTPS action opens only after you choose it.

Permissions

Lasso requests Screen Recording access so it can capture only the region you deliberately select. Calendar, Contacts, or Reminders access is requested only when you confirm the corresponding create action. You can change these permissions in macOS System Settings.

External services

When you explicitly choose to open an address, track a shipment, open a smart link, or search recognized text, Lasso asks macOS to open the relevant destination in Maps, Waze, another installed app, or your browser. Those services operate under their own privacy policies. Capture and analysis themselves make no external request; the only network traffic Lasso originates on its own is the anonymous analytics described above, and that carries nothing about what you captured.

Changes

If Lasso’s data practices change, this policy and the App Store privacy disclosure will be updated before the changed version is released.
