# Privacy Policy

Last updated: 20 September 2026

## Summary in Plain English

PixelTamp does not collect, transmit, store, or sell any personal data, usage analytics, or telemetry. All media compression and format conversion occurs 100% locally on your Mac using native hardware acceleration. Your files never leave your device.

## 1\. Data Collection & Telemetry

PixelTamp collects **zero telemetry or user data**:

-   No tracking of which files you compress or convert.
-   No IP addresses, device identifiers, or location data collected.
-   No third-party analytics SDKs (such as Google Analytics or Firebase).
-   No advertising frameworks or trackers.
-   No network access: PixelTamp requests no incoming or outgoing network entitlements and operates with 100% feature parity behind a strict firewall.
-   Local-only diagnostics: Log messages stay solely within your Mac's unified log system (`os.Logger`) and are never transmitted automatically. Diagnostic summaries created via "Copy Diagnostic Details" are generated on demand by you and remain on your clipboard until you choose to paste them.

**Our Promise:** If any aspect of this policy or data collection stance ever changes in a future release, you will receive a clear in-app notice with full disclosure and an explicit opt-in or opt-out choice the next time you reopen the application.

## 2\. Local File Processing

PixelTamp runs completely offline. When you drop images, videos, or folders into the application:

-   Media decoding and encoding are executed in-process on your Mac using native frameworks and embedded libraries.
-   No files, thumbnails, or frame data are ever uploaded to any server or cloud service.
-   Files are read from and written to the directories explicitly selected through macOS user interaction.

## 3\. File System Access & User Consent

PixelTamp operates exclusively on the media files and directories you provide. The application only accesses assets that you explicitly drag into the window or select through the native macOS file dialogue.

## 4\. Website Privacy & Analytics

This website ([pixeltamp.com](https://pixeltamp.com)) uses Umami, a privacy-focused, cookie-free web analytics platform. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personal data or IP addresses, and does not track you across other websites. It is used solely to gather aggregate, anonymised visitor counts (such as page views and referrers) to understand site usage without identifying individual visitors.
