Your privacy matters to us

Last updated: October 11, 2024

Introduction

Welcome to AppDeck. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use AppDeck.

Data Collection

AppDeck is designed with privacy in mind. We want to be clear about what we do and don't collect:

  • We do NOT collect personal information: AppDeck does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information.
  • We do NOT track your usage: We do not use analytics, tracking pixels, or any other monitoring tools to track how you use the application.
  • Local data only: All application data, including your app organization, preferences, and settings, are stored locally on your device.
  • No account required: AppDeck does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use the application.

Information We Access

To provide its core functionality, AppDeck requires access to certain information on your Mac:

  • Application list: AppDeck reads the list of applications installed on your Mac to display them in the launcher.
  • Application icons: AppDeck accesses application icons to display them in the interface.
  • User preferences: Your customization settings (icon size, layout, hidden apps) are stored locally on your device.

This information never leaves your device and is not shared with us or any third parties.

Data Storage

All data related to AppDeck is stored locally on your Mac:

  • Your app organization and layout preferences
  • Hidden apps list
  • Application settings and customizations

This data is stored in standard macOS application support directories and is never transmitted to external servers.

Third-Party Services

AppDeck does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The application operates entirely offline and does not make network requests for data collection purposes.

Our website may use standard web analytics to understand visitor traffic, but the AppDeck application itself does not contain any such tracking.

Updates and Communications

AppDeck may check for software updates to ensure you have the latest features and security improvements. These update checks are minimal and do not include any personal information or usage data.

Children's Privacy

AppDeck does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The application is designed to be privacy-friendly for users of all ages.

Your Rights

Since AppDeck does not collect or store your personal data on our servers, there is no data for us to access, modify, or delete. You have complete control over all AppDeck data on your device:

  • Access: All your data is stored locally and accessible to you at any time.
  • Deletion: You can delete all AppDeck data by uninstalling the application or manually removing its support files.
  • Modification: You can modify your settings and preferences at any time through the application interface.

Data Security

Your data security is important to us. Since all data is stored locally on your device:

  • Your data is protected by your Mac's security features
  • No data is transmitted over the internet
  • No data is stored on external servers

We recommend keeping your macOS up to date and following Apple's security best practices to protect your device and data.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
