Privacy Policy
markdownViewr · Effective June 12, 2026
markdownViewr does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.
Information we collect
None. markdownViewr collects no personal data. It does not contain analytics, advertising, tracking technologies, crash reporters, or any mechanism that gathers information about you or your device.
Your files
markdownViewr is a view-only document app. It reads only the files you explicitly open, and processes them entirely on your Mac to render them for display. Your documents are never uploaded, copied to any server, or sent to the developer or anyone else. Any settings and themes you create are stored locally on your Mac.
Network activity
The app itself sends no information about you anywhere. The only network requests it makes are ones you initiate through your own content or actions:
-
Remote images. If a document you open references an image
by a remote (
http/https) URL, the app loads that image so it can be displayed. That request goes directly to the server hosting the image, which — like any web request — can see your IP address. markdownViewr adds no identifying information to these requests. - Update checks (non‑App‑Store version only). The version downloaded directly (DMG or Homebrew) periodically checks for new releases by fetching a public update feed hosted on GitHub. This request contains no personal data. The Mac App Store version does not do this — it is updated through the App Store.
Third parties
markdownViewr shares no data with third parties, because it collects none. The remote servers and update host described above receive only the ordinary network request needed to fulfill your action, never personal information from the app.
Children's privacy
markdownViewr does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
