Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority

Introduction

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our application.

Information We Collect

Usage Data (OPT-IN ONLY): Analytics are OFF by default. You must explicitly opt-in to share anonymous usage statistics through MixPanel. If you choose to enable this, we collect button clicks, feature usage, and app performance metrics to improve the app.
Device Information: Only collected if you opt-in to analytics. Includes non-identifiable information such as operating system version and app version.
NEVER Your Photos: We do NOT collect, transmit, or have any access to your photos, filenames, folder names, or any image content whatsoever.

How We Use Your Information

  • To enhance app performance and usability
  • To identify and fix bugs or issues
  • To develop new features based on user behavior

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. Usage analytics are processed by MixPanel, a trusted third-party analytics service, but this data is strictly limited to app functionality metrics - never your photo content or personal files.

Website Analytics

Google Analytics: This website currently uses Google Analytics to understand visitor traffic and improve our web presence. This requires cookies and may trigger GDPR consent banners.

Under Review: We're actively considering removing Google Analytics entirely from our website to better align with our privacy-first philosophy. The GDPR consent banners contradict our core message that privacy should be absolute, not negotiable.

Important Note: Google Analytics is ONLY used on this website. The Rando app itself contains no Google code, no Google tracking, and no connection to Google services whatsoever.

Your Photos Stay 100% Private

CRITICAL PRIVACY GUARANTEE: Rando is a LOCAL-ONLY application. All image processing happens exclusively on your Mac. Your photos:

  • NEVER leave your computer
  • NEVER get uploaded to any server
  • NEVER get transmitted over the internet
  • Are NEVER accessible to us or any third party
  • Are NEVER analyzed, scanned, or processed in the cloud

Perfect for: Sensitive client work, personal family photos, confidential projects, and anyone who values complete privacy. The app works entirely offline - no internet connection required for core functionality.

Local Storage Only: Rando currently works ONLY with photos stored locally on your Mac, external drives, or network drives.

App Analytics (MixPanel) - OPT-IN ONLY

OFF By Default: Analytics are DISABLED when you first install Rando. No data is collected unless you explicitly choose to enable "Usage Statistics" in the app's preferences.

What We Track (If You Opt-In): App usage patterns, feature adoption, button clicks, and performance metrics. This helps us understand which features are popular and what to improve.

What We NEVER Track: We NEVER see your photos, filenames, folder paths, or any content from your images. MixPanel only receives functional app data, not personal content.

Your Choice: You can enable or disable analytics at any time in preferences. Changes take effect immediately.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

Data Retention

Anonymous usage statistics are retained for a maximum of 12 months to help us understand app usage patterns and improve the product. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

Children's Privacy

Our app is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the app and on our website. We will notify users of any material changes through the app or via email if contact information is available.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your data, including:

  • The right to access your data
  • The right to rectification of inaccurate data
  • The right to erasure of your data
  • The right to restrict processing
  • The right to data portability
