Anonymous usage counts
Since 2.1.6, Timecard sends a few anonymous counts, like "a card was printed" or "the AI page was opened", to see which features get used and where setup goes wrong. They never include your apps, sites, times, AI usage or anything you type, and there's no ID for your Mac. Turn them off in Settings › General › Share anonymous usage.
Licence checks
Activating a key sends it to Polar, the store that sells Timecard, with your Mac's name so you can tell your Macs apart in your receipt. Later checks send the key and its activation ID.
Updates
Timecard checks for new versions and downloads them in the background from timecardmac.site.
Crash reports, only if you send them
If Timecard crashes, it offers to email the report next time it opens. You see the email before anything is sent, and nothing about your day is in it.
Ask for time
To understand a page, Timecard may read the site's public description from its homepage. Apple Intelligence then runs on your Mac; your reason never leaves it.
