Privacy
++ SpreadPaper collects nothing +
++ No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting. There is no + server of ours for your data to sit on. Everything below is the detail behind that + sentence. +
+Last updated {updatedLabel}
+Your images never leave your Mac
++ The photograph you pick is opened, cropped and rendered on your own machine, and the + result is written to your own disk. It is never uploaded anywhere. The app runs inside + Apple's sandbox and can only read the files you hand it through the open panel or by + dragging them in. +
++ Your presets, schedules and display arrangement are stored locally in the app's own + container, alongside the rendered wallpapers. Deleting the app removes them. +
+ +The one thing the app does over the network
+
+ SpreadPaper checks whether a newer version exists. To do that it asks GitHub's public API
+ about this project's latest release, and fetches the changelog file from the repository.
+ Nothing about you is sent. The request carries what any HTTP request carries: your IP
+ address, and a user agent naming the app and its version, for example
+ SpreadPaper/1.10.0.
+
+ That request goes to GitHub, not to us. We never see it, and we keep no record of who
+ checked or when. GitHub's handling of it falls under
+ their privacy statement. If you would rather it did not happen at all, the update check is the only outbound
+ request in the app, and blocking
+ api.github.com stops it.
+
This website
++ spreadpaper.app is a static site with no analytics, no tracking pixels and no cookies of + its own. It is served by Cloudflare, which keeps standard request logs for security and + abuse prevention under + their privacy policy. +
++ The page loads its typeface from Google Fonts, which means Google receives your IP address + when you visit. That is the only third party the page contacts. Downloads are hosted on + GitHub, so following a download link takes you to them. +
+ +If you get in touch
++ Email sent to + hello@spreadpaper.app is forwarded to a personal mailbox and kept only as long as the conversation is useful. Anything + you post as a GitHub issue is public, and governed by GitHub's terms rather than this policy. +
+ +Your rights
++ Under the GDPR you may ask what personal data is held about you, and ask for it to be + corrected or erased. In practice there is nothing to hand over unless you have emailed, + because nothing is collected. The project is run from the Netherlands by Robin van Baalen. + Ask at + hello@spreadpaper.app. +
+ +Changes
++ If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. The app is open source, so + you do not have to take any of the above on trust: the update check lives in + UpdateChecker.swift, and it is the only place the app opens a connection. +
+ ++ See also the terms of service. +
