Yes, mobile apps would be free, serving as 'trials' for the desktop app, which is paid.

CloudMagic Mac app has already reached #2 in Top Paid App on Mac App Store within hours of launch.

Over a period of time, we'll introduce more power features like email tracking, CRM integrations, etc.

I think we are building a ethical independent business here.

Your privacy policy makes some of that apparent, and it's clearly worded. I appreciate that.

I didn't initially notice your privacy policy because there doesn't seem to be a link from the Mac app page. I had to go to the homepage by deleting the path from the URL in my browser, since I couldn't find a link to the main page on the Mac app page. I scrolled to the bottom of the page, as that's where these things usually are, but all I found was a trio of social media buttons. I scrolled back up and noticed the three-horizontal-lines symbol, which I correctly assumed would bring up a menu. I found the privacy policy under that.

I can only speak for myself, but I would have found it valuable to have an obvious link to the privacy policy on every page. I really wanted to find the privacy policy, because I felt a bit guilty about how tersely worded my previous comment to you was. Had I not been so motivated, I might have just looked at the page, thought it looked nice, then closed it when I couldn't find an obvious link to a privacy policy.

Anyway, thanks for answering my question. I hope I didn't come across as rude. I feel like a parent sending my kid to a sleep-over. I just want to make sure my data will be safe while it stays with people I don't know.

I will forward your comment to by website team. This is definitely something we can improve. Thanks and have a great day.
