Privacy policy

Last updated: October 12, 2026

About this policy

Docklock is a macOS Dock utility made by Rappasoft, LLC. This policy covers the current Mac app. Visits to this site are covered separately by the Rappasoft website privacy policy.

Information used on your Mac

Docklock reads connected display names, identifiers, and geometry, along with Dock window geometry and the separate-Spaces setting, to check whether the selected display can be locked. The sandboxed App Store build asks you to confirm the bottom Dock position; it does not read another app's preferences. It saves the chosen display identifier, the bottom-position confirmation, and whether locking is enabled in local app preferences.

While the lock is active, Docklock processes mouse locations, movement, and button activity to guard the exposed bottom edges of other displays and to cancel a move when you use the mouse. It does not save a mouse-activity history. For automatic recovery, it checks the time since keyboard activity and whether secure text input is enabled; it does not read or record what you type.

Accessibility permission

Docklock uses macOS Accessibility/Device Control access for pointer control, which helps prevent screen switching and lets Move Dock Here attempt relocation. The sandboxed App Store build identifies the Dock's display from public window geometry and does not inspect other apps' Accessibility trees. The app does not read your documents, messages, browsing history, clipboard, or passwords. You can revoke its permission in System Settings or quit Docklock to stop its guard.

No collection or transmission through the app

Docklock does not send your display information, preferences, mouse activity, or keyboard-activity timing to Rappasoft or third parties. It has no account, cloud sync, advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking service. Processing happens locally on your Mac.

Retention and your choices

Display and pointer information used during operation is held in memory. Quit Docklock to end that processing. Your chosen display and enabled setting remain in local preferences so the app can restore your choice. macOS may retain local diagnostic logs, including app lifecycle messages. There is no Docklock account or server-side activity history to delete. For help removing the app's local preferences, contact us.

Support messages and Apple services

If you email us, we receive your address, message, and attachments you choose to send. We use that information to answer your request and troubleshoot, and retain correspondence as needed for support and business records. You can ask us to delete it, subject to records we must keep by law. Email providers process messages for delivery and storage. Do not send passwords or unrelated private screen content.

If you obtain Docklock through the Mac App Store, Apple handles purchases, downloads, and any diagnostics you choose to share under Apple's privacy policy. Rappasoft may receive the sales and diagnostic information Apple makes available to developers. Those Apple services are separate from the app's local operation.

Contact and updates

For privacy, access, deletion, or support requests, email [email protected]. If the app's practices change, we will update this policy and its date. Visit the Docklock support page.
