Bonky Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 13, 2026 · Last updated: July 13, 2026

1. The Short Version

Bonky plays a click sound as you type. To do that it has to detect your keystrokes and mouse clicks — but it does not record, store, log, or send them anywhere. Bonky collects no personal information, has no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. There is no account, no cloud, and no profile of you. What you type stays yours: Bonky reads only which key was pressed, plays a sound, and forgets it.

2. Who We Are

Bonky is published by Codeja Infotech ("we", "us", "our"). If you have any question about this policy or your privacy, contact us at support@codejainfotech.com.

This policy covers both the Windows and macOS versions of Bonky. Where the two platforms behave differently, the difference is called out explicitly.

3. What Bonky Does

Bonky is a lightweight utility that plays a mechanical-keyboard (or other) click sound each time you press a key or mouse button. So the sound plays no matter which application you are using, Bonky observes keyboard and mouse input system-wide.

Because this is the same category of system access a keylogger uses, we spell out exactly what Bonky does — and does not do — with it.

4. What Bonky Reads, and Immediately Discards

For every keystroke, Bonky reads only the virtual key code (which physical key was pressed), chooses the matching sound, plays it, and immediately discards the value. No key code, character, word, or text is ever:

stored to disk;
written to any log, history, or file;
kept in memory beyond the instant needed to play the sound; or
transmitted anywhere — to us or to anyone else.

For mouse input, Bonky detects only THAT a mouse button was pressed, so it can play a click sound. It does not read the cursor position, the contents of any window, or which application or control was clicked.

Bonky does not read or collect: the text you type, passwords, window titles, clipboard contents, screen contents, documents, files, browsing history, contacts, location, camera, or microphone.

5. Platform Permissions and Protections

macOS (Bonky for macOS): macOS requires you to explicitly grant Bonky permission before it can detect keystrokes — under System Settings > Privacy & Security (Accessibility and/or Input Monitoring). Bonky cannot observe any input until you grant this, and you can revoke it at any time. In addition, macOS "Secure Input" automatically prevents Bonky (and every other app) from seeing keystrokes while you type into password fields and other protected inputs.

Windows (Bonky for Windows): Windows provides no permission prompt for the low-level keyboard/mouse hooks Bonky uses, and no automatic "secure input" equivalent. So Bonky gives you its own always-available controls: a clearly visible Enable/Disable switch, and a global pause hotkey that instantly stops all keyboard and mouse monitoring even when no Bonky window is focused. Use either at any time — for example, before typing a password.

6. What Bonky Never Does

No network transmission of your input or personal data. Bonky does not send your keystrokes, mouse activity, or any personal information off your device — ever.
No analytics, telemetry, advertising, or usage tracking.
No accounts, sign-in, or cloud profile.
No selling, renting, or sharing of personal data — there is none.
No reading of window titles, clipboard, screen contents, or files.

Software updates: the Windows version distributed through the Microsoft Store is updated by the Microsoft Store and contains no update checker of its own; the macOS version is updated through its distribution channel. Update mechanisms deliver new software to you — they do not collect your keystrokes or personal information.

7. Information Stored on Your Device (And Only Your Device)

Bonky keeps a small amount of configuration data locally so it remembers your settings. None of it is personal information beyond your own preferences, and none of it ever leaves your device.

Windows:

Your sound-pack choices and any per-application rules you create (for example, "use the Clicky pack for chrome.exe"), stored in your user application-data folder — or, for the Microsoft Store version, in the app's private per-user storage.
A local diagnostic log of startup/shutdown and errors. It contains no keystroke data.
Small preferences and a launch-at-login setting, stored in your user settings (the Windows Registry, or the app's private storage in the Store version).

macOS:

Your sound-pack choices, per-application rules, and small preferences, stored in the app's standard preferences and application-support locations under your macOS user Library — or the app's sandbox container if installed from the Mac App Store.
A launch-at-login setting managed through the standard macOS login-items mechanism.

Uninstalling Bonky removes the application; the Microsoft Store and Mac App Store versions also remove the app's stored settings as part of a standard uninstall.

8. Children's Privacy

Bonky is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your jurisdiction). Because Bonky collects no personal information at all, none is collected from children.

9. Data Sharing and Third Parties

Bonky does not share your information with third parties, because it does not collect or transmit your information. When you download Bonky from the Microsoft Store or the Apple App Store, that store processes the download or purchase under its own privacy policy; we do not receive your keystrokes or input from it.

10. Security

Because Bonky does not transmit your data or store it on any server, there is no central database of users that could be breached. The configuration data Bonky keeps is ordinary local preference data, protected by your operating system's normal user-account protections.

11. Your Choices and Rights

You are always in control:

Disable or pause Bonky at any time (see Section 5).
Delete your local settings through the app, or by uninstalling Bonky.
On macOS, revoke input permission at any time in System Settings.

Because we hold no personal data about you on any server, there is nothing for us to retrieve, correct, or delete on your behalf — all of your data lives on your own device, under your control.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as Bonky evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, noted in the app or its store listing. Your continued use of Bonky after an update means you accept the revised policy.
