The app
- Your photos never leave your computer. They are read from the phone over the USB cable and written to the folder you choose. The app has no cloud storage, no upload, no account, and no login.
- No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting. The app does not phone home about what you do.
- The one network call is the license check. When you license a phone, and about once a week afterwards, the app sends a one-way hash of that phone's hardware ID (not the ID itself, not your name) and your license key to our license server and to Polar, our licensing provider, to confirm the phone is covered. Nothing about your photos is included. The free preview makes no network calls at all.
- The app only reads from your phone. It never writes to, deletes from, or modifies anything on the phone.
- The app keeps a manifest file inside your backup folder (file names, sizes, dates) so later backups only copy what's new. It stays in your folder, under your control.
Buying
Purchases are handled by Polar as merchant of record. Polar collects your email address and payment details and delivers your license key; we see your email address and the order, never your card. Polar's own policy applies to the checkout: polar.sh/legal/privacy. Mac App Store purchases are handled entirely by Apple.
This website
- Hosted on Cloudflare. Standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages requested) exist briefly for security and are not used for tracking. No analytics scripts, no advertising, no third-party cookies.
- If you use the launch-notification form, we keep your email address only to send that one notice.
- If you ask us to email you the download link, we send that one email through Cloudflare and don't keep your address. To stop abuse, we keep a scrambled one-way code of the address and of your IP address for two days, then delete it. You aren't added to any list.
- If you redeem a Mac App Store receipt for a Windows key, the receipt (which contains no personal information) is checked and a fingerprint of it is kept so each purchase is redeemed once.
- Email you send to support stays in our mailbox for as long as it's useful to help you.
Your rights
Ask and we'll tell you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, including your license record and any email you've sent us. Reach us through the support page (the address is in your order email if you bought).
