Terms of Sale and Use for Hide My Screen

Last updated: 4 November 2026

These terms apply to the Hide My Screen app, the Hide My Screen browser extension, and the hidemyscreen.app website. They are an agreement between you and Blue Speck Ltd ("Blue Speck", "we", "us", or "our"). By buying or using Hide My Screen, you agree to these terms. If you got Hide My Screen from the Mac App Store, Apple's licence terms apply to it, and these terms apply alongside them where Apple allows.

1. Who we are

Hide My Screen is made by Blue Speck Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales, company no. 14084890. Our registered office is 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. You can contact us at [email protected].

2. What you can buy and how you pay

• App Store version: The App Store version is free on the Mac App Store. Apple's terms apply to anything you download or buy through the App Store.
• Browser extension: The Hide My Screen browser extension is free and optional. It gives the app a consistent integration with supported browsers.
• Full version: The Full version for macOS costs $19.99 (US dollars) as a one-time payment. There is no subscription and no recurring fee. Your purchase gives you the Full version of the app, which adds typing tracking across apps, more customisation options, the frosted glass overlay, and an overlay without Hide My Screen branding. Future updates are included. After you pay, you receive a download link by email. No account or licence key is needed.
• Windows pre-order: A pre-order costs $14.99 (US dollars) as a one-time payment and gives you a Windows licence when Hide My Screen for Windows is released. We expect to release it in early 2027, but this date is not guaranteed. We will email you the download when it is ready. The pre-order does not include the Mac version.
• Payment: Purchases on hidemyscreen.app are sold through Polar, who act as reseller and merchant of record. Polar is the seller for the payment, takes your payment, and sends your receipt and download link. Polar's terms apply to the sale. Prices include any tax that applies. Polar, as merchant of record, collects and pays it. Blue Speck licenses the app to you under these terms and makes the refund promises in section 5.

3. Your licence

We own Hide My Screen and all rights in it. When you get Hide My Screen, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use it for your own purposes. You may not sell, rent, share, or redistribute the app, your licence, or your download link.

4. Acceptable use

• Do not copy, modify, or reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows you to.
• Do not use Hide My Screen or the website for anything unlawful.
• Do not try to disrupt the website or to get around its checkout.

Hide My Screen is a visual privacy tool. It limits what people near you can see on your screen. It is not a security tool. Anything inside the spotlight, and the overlay itself, can still be captured by other software, screen recordings, or screen sharing.

5. Refunds and cancellation

• Full version: If you are not satisfied, email us at [email protected] within 30 days of purchase and we will refund you in full.
• Windows pre-order: You can get a full refund at any time before Hide My Screen for Windows is released. Email us at [email protected]. If we cancel Windows support, we will refund every pre-order in full without you having to ask. After release, you can ask for a refund within 14 days of the date we email the Windows download.
• No subscription: All purchases are one-time payments, so there is no subscription to cancel. These refunds are in addition to any legal right you have to cancel your purchase.

6. Your statutory rights

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer. Under UK law, digital content you buy must be as described, fit for purpose, and of satisfactory quality. If you live outside the UK, you also keep any rights that the consumer law of your country gives you.

7. Our liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for losses that were not foreseeable when you bought or started using Hide My Screen. If you use Hide My Screen for business, we are not liable for business losses or loss of data, and our total liability to you for any claim about a purchase is limited to the amount you paid for it. If faulty digital content from us damages your device or other digital content, we will repair the damage or pay you compensation, as the law requires. We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated. The terms in force when you made a purchase apply to that purchase.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or another country, you may also bring a claim in the courts where you live.
