Privacy policy

Schnellbild is an image and video viewer for macOS. Responsible for it (the controller under the GDPR) is HAUS HOPPE - ITS, Johannes Hoppe; the full address is in the legal notice. This policy covers the app, as downloaded from GitHub and as bought in the Mac App Store (both are the same app), and this website.

The app

Schnellbild collects no personal data. It has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and it doesn't connect to the internet: the App Sandbox it runs in gives it no network access at all.

What stays on your Mac, and only there:

• Settings (the last folder, sort order, bookmarks, volume …) in the app's own preferences.
• Folder access: the folders you opened to Schnellbild, as macOS bookmarks, so it can show them again after a restart. Settings → Forget Folder Access forgets them.
• Archive passwords you typed, in your login keychain (entry "Schnellbild archive passwords"); Settings → Forget Saved Passwords removes them.
• Thumbnails, in macOS's own thumbnail cache.

Schnellbild reads your pictures, videos and archives only to show them to you. It never sends them, their names or anything about them anywhere. Apple handles the download and purchase under its own privacy policy and gives us only figures without your identity: sales, and crash reports and usage statistics if you allowed sharing them with app developers in macOS.

This website

This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no content from other servers (no web fonts, no embedded videos). It is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc. (USA). When you visit it, GitHub logs and stores your IP address for security purposes; see GitHub Pages: data collection and the GitHub privacy statement. How long GitHub keeps these logs is up to GitHub; we have no access to them. GitHub takes part in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission decided that the USA ensures an adequate level of protection (Art. 45 GDPR). The legal basis is our legitimate interest in delivering the website securely (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The download of the app comes from GitHub as well.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. <strong>You have the right to object</strong>, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on our legitimate interest (Art. 21 GDPR). Since neither the app nor this website keeps personal data of its own, there is usually nothing on our side to look up or delete.
