    <h1>Privacy Policy</h1>
    <p class="effective">markdownViewr &nbsp;·&nbsp; Effective June 12, 2026</p>

    <p class="lead">
      markdownViewr does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal
      information. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind.
    </p>

    <h2>Information we collect</h2>
    <p>
      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.
    </p>

    <h2>Your files</h2>
    <p>
      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.
    </p>

    <h2>Network activity</h2>
    <p>
      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:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <strong>Remote images.</strong> If a document you open references an image
        by a remote (<code>http</code>/<code>https</code>) 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.
      </li>
      <li>
        <strong>Update checks (non&#8209;App&#8209;Store version only).</strong> 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.
      </li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Third parties</h2>
    <p>
      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.
    </p>

    <h2>Children's privacy</h2>
    <p>
      markdownViewr does not collect personal information from anyone, including
      children under 13.
    </p>

    <h2>Changes to this policy</h2>
    <p>
      If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a
      new effective date.
    </p>
