Privacy Policy

Your photos never leave your device

PixiPile is a local-first application. All photo viewing, sorting, rotating, and organizing happens entirely on your Mac. No photos, thumbnails, metadata, filenames, or folder paths are transmitted to any server.

No data collection

PixiPile does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information. The app makes zero network requests. There are no analytics frameworks, crash reporters, telemetry SDKs, or server check-ins of any kind.

No account required

PixiPile does not require an account, email address, or sign-in to use. There is no registration step and no personal data to provide.

macOS App Sandbox

PixiPile runs inside the macOS App Sandbox. It can only access folders you explicitly grant via the system file picker. It cannot read your contacts, calendar, browser history, or other applications' data.

Local storage

The app stores your preferences (such as window layout, sort order, and folder bookmarks) in the standard macOS user defaults container for the app. This data stays on your Mac and is not synced or transmitted anywhere. You can reset it at any time from the Help menu.

Changes to this policy

If we add features that change how data is handled, we will update this policy before those features ship and note the changes here.
