No. Installation is just dragging MailMate to, e.g., the Applications 
folder.

MailMate is a Desktop application and most of its network activity is 
between you and your IMAP/SMTP providers. MailMate only talks to my 
server when doing application update checks, when updating bundles (a 
plugin-system for MailMate) and when sending crash reports (if enabled 
in the General preferences pane).

If you get a license key then I also have access to some personal 
information via FastSpring (my reseller). Earlier on I got an email with 
this information for every purchase, but this is no longer the case. 
This means that I only store the name and email address of each license 
key owner (everything else is handled by FastSpring). I do *not* have 
(and never had) access to credit card information.

That's all the relevant information I can think of for now. Let me know 
if you have any concerns or you can point to an example of a privacy 
policy which you would prefer instead of the above.

MailMate is developed by Freron Software which is a small one-man (me) 
business located in Copenhagen, Denmark (in the EU).
