Privacy Policy

Nothing ever leaves your Mac.

Wideframe runs entirely on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no personal information — not your images, not your files, not a single byte about you. There's nothing to upload, because there's nowhere for it to go.

Effective June 1, 2026 · applies to Wideframe for macOS

The short version: We don't collect anything. Wideframe does everything — framing, previewing, editing, exporting, setting a wallpaper — locally on your Mac. No servers are ever involved, and nothing leaves your computer: not your images, not your files, not your settings, not any personal information. Apple's "Data Not Collected" label applies.

1. Information we collect

None — nothing at all. Wideframe does not collect, store, or transmit any information: no personal data, no images, no file contents, no file names or paths, no device identifiers, and no usage or diagnostic data. There are no user accounts, no sign-in, no profiles, and no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs in the app.

2. Your images and files

When you open an image, Wideframe reads it from the location you choose, in order to frame and preview it. All processing — cropping, scaling, auto-framing, and readability adjustments — happens on your Mac. Your images, and everything about them, are never uploaded to us or any third party.

Exports are written to the folder you pick (by default ~/Pictures/Wideframe). "Set as Wallpaper" hands the result to macOS through the system API and nothing more.

File & Photos access

Wideframe requests access to files or your Photos library only to open images you explicitly select and to save exports you ask for. macOS mediates this access through standard permission prompts; you can review or revoke it at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

3. Purchases

Wideframe Pro is a one-time in-app purchase processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. Apple validates the purchase and provides the receipt the app uses to unlock Pro features. Apple's handling of your transaction is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.

4. Analytics & tracking

There are none. Wideframe contains no advertising identifiers, no third-party trackers, and no telemetry. We do not build a profile of you, and we have nothing to sell or share because we collect nothing.

5. Network use

Core features work fully offline, and the app makes no network connections of its own. If a future version adds an optional online capability, it will be clearly described, opt-in, used only for that single purpose, and never tied to your identity. We will update this policy before any such feature ships.

6. Children's privacy

Wideframe is rated 4+ and contains no objectionable content, but it is a creative tool intended for general audiences. Because we collect no personal information, we collect none from children either.

7. Changes to this policy

If we change how Wideframe handles data, we'll update this page and revise the effective date above. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
