PicPress Privacy Policy Files never leave your device

Effective date: 2026-11-03   Applies to: PicPress web app / PWA

1. What we collect

We collect no browsing data and never see your files. PicPress is a fully local tool:

• Your images and PDFs are processed entirely in your browser using web APIs. They are never uploaded to any server.
• We do not collect, store, or transmit your files, their contents, or any personal data.
• No accounts, no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no tracking.

For Pro subscriptions only, PicPress operates a small license service to confirm your subscription status — see §4. It receives nothing but your license code.

2. Local storage (on your device only)

PicPress uses your browser's local storage only to save:

• Your Pro status and license code.
• The license service URL and Paddle configuration you enter (client token, price ids).

This data stays on your device. It is never sent to any server and never synced to a cloud account. Your files are never stored persistently — they are held in memory only during processing and discarded.

3. Permissions (web)

• File access: you choose the files to process; PicPress reads them locally in your browser.
• Downloads: PicPress saves the resulting file(s) to your device as a local download.
• Service worker: used only to make the app shell available offline. It never caches your files.

4. Third-party sharing

We share data with third parties in exactly two cases:

• Pro activation check. When you activate a Pro license, PicPress sends your license code to our license service (a small HTTPS endpoint) solely to confirm that your subscription is active and unexpired. It receives only the license code — never your files or any other data.
• Payments. Checkout is handled by Paddle (a third-party payment provider) under its own privacy policy. PicPress itself does not see or store your card or payment details.

Apart from these two cases, we share no data with any third party. No analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no other services.

5. Your rights

Because we never receive your files, no access/deletion request is needed for them. Clearing your browser storage removes your Pro status and local settings.
