Privacy Policy

Last updated August 31, 2026.

This policy covers Luckycharms, the Windows desktop application distributed through the Microsoft Store, and this website at www.luckycharms.app. It applies to every version of the app on the Store and to no other product.

The short version: Luckycharms collects nothing about you and sends nothing of yours anywhere. The app is free, and the one outside question it asks is whether your Microsoft account has an active subscription, and Windows answers that one, not us. Subscriptions are bought on the Microsoft Store, where Microsoft takes the payment and holds the customer details, not us. We never receive them.

The desktop application

Luckycharms opens no network connection of its own. The only channel it opens itself is a local one it uses to talk to itself, a named pipe, so that a second launch can hand off to the copy already running. There is no account, no telemetry pipeline, and no update check: updates arrive through the Store, not from the app.

It does ask Windows one question that Windows may answer over the network: whether the Microsoft account signed in on this PC has an active Luckycharms subscription. That exchange is between Windows and the Store, using Microsoft's own component; the app sends nothing of its own with it and receives nothing back but a yes or no and a renewal date. Starting a subscription hands you to the Store's own purchase window, which is where any payment detail is entered. The app never sees one.

Your chosen charm, cord colour, other preferences, and that yes-or-no answer are stored locally in your own user profile, under %LOCALAPPDATA%. The stored answer is what lets a subscription keep working while you are offline. None of it ever leaves your machine, and no one but you has access to it. Uninstalling the app removes it.

If you hang a picture of your own, the app records where that file sits on your disk so it can load it again next time, and reads the picture to cut its background away. Both happen entirely on your machine. The picture is never copied off it, never sent anywhere, and never seen by us. There is nowhere for it to go.

The deep link handler

The app claims a luckydangle:// handler for your account so that other things on your own machine can bless or change the charm. This handler does not open any network connection; it only reads the link you or your own scripts invoke, and the only things it can be asked to do are things a menu click already does.

System permissions

The app asks for no special permissions and never requests administrator rights or your password. The one thing it reads from outside its own window is your pointer's position, so it knows when you are reaching for the charm. That is an unprivileged system call, and it cannot see what you type or what is on your screen.

This website

This site carries no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party trackers. There is nothing here watching how you use it. It is a set of static pages with no server-side application behind them: it runs no payment flow, keeps no database, and has no account system, login, or form that submits anything anywhere.

The “hang something of your own” panel processes your photo entirely inside your browser: background removal, cropping, and colour sampling all run as JavaScript on your own device. The image is never uploaded and there is no endpoint on this site that accepts one.

The hosting provider keeps ordinary web server logs for a short period, as any web server does: IP address, timestamp, and requested path. We do not analyse them or link them to anyone.

Subscriptions

The app is free. Its two charm subscription tiers, Pro and Premium, are sold exclusively through the Microsoft Store, and Microsoft is the seller and the merchant of record: your payment details, billing address, and Microsoft account are collected and held by Microsoft under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Neither this site nor the app plays any part in it. The purchase window you see belongs to the Store, not to us, and no payment detail is ever typed into Luckycharms.

The app asks Windows one question, which of these tiers this account holds if any, and receives that answer and a renewal date. It never learns who you are, what you paid, or how. It does not know your Microsoft account name and never asks for it.

What we receive from Microsoft is aggregate sales and diagnostic reporting in Partner Center: counts of installs, subscriptions, and crashes by market, and reviews you choose to publish. It does not identify you. We are given no name, no email address, no billing address, and no payment information, and there is no way for us to look up an individual subscriber.

Children's privacy

Because nothing is collected from anyone, there is nothing collected from children either.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top.

Questions about this policy, or any request about your data, can be sent to tks2005homes@gmail.com. For anything about a payment, a refund, or your Microsoft account, Microsoft Store support is the right place, because they hold the record of the transaction and we do not.
