App Privacy

Capture In Picture Privacy Policy

A public privacy policy for the Capture In Picture macOS app, based on the app's current permissions, local storage behavior, and support flow.

Effective April 6, 2026

Quick summary

Capture In Picture does not require an account and does not collect personal information, analytics events, advertising identifiers, or captured screenshots on the developer's servers. The app works primarily on-device and only makes limited network requests when you manually check for updates or choose to contact support.

Data we do not collect

Capture In Picture does not ask you to create an account, sign in, or submit personal profile information in order to use the app.

We do not collect analytics events, advertising identifiers, crash reporting data, contact lists, photo libraries, or the screenshots you capture through the app on our servers.

Permissions used by the app

The app requests Screen Recording permission so it can list available windows and capture screenshots of the window you choose.

The app requests Accessibility permission only for features that focus another app window, resize it, or send macro key input during repeat capture workflows.

Notification permission is optional and is used only to show local macOS notifications when a capture or repeat capture finishes.

Information stored on your device

The app stores a small set of local preferences on your Mac, including onboarding state, notification onboarding acknowledgement, capture inset values, the selected output folder bookmark, macro steps, and whether repeat capture should start with an immediate capture.

Captured screenshots are saved locally to the folder you choose. If you use repeat capture without choosing a custom folder, the app creates a folder inside your Pictures directory named CaptureInPicture.

Captured content

The screenshots you capture may contain personal, confidential, or sensitive information depending on what is visible in the selected window.

Those screenshots are processed on-device and are not uploaded or transmitted by the app to the developer.

Network requests and third parties

If you choose Check Latest Version inside the app, Capture In Picture sends a request to the GitHub API to compare your installed build with the latest published release or tag.

That request may expose limited technical information such as your IP address and User-Agent to GitHub as part of normal internet communication. We do not use analytics or advertising SDKs, and we do not build a user profile from that request.

If you choose to contact support, the app opens your default mail app with a prefilled email draft. Any information you send is then handled by your email provider and by us for support purposes.

Retention and deletion

Because screenshots and settings are stored locally, you can delete captured files directly from the folder where they were saved.

You can clear the saved output folder inside the app, reset macro settings, or remove the app's locally stored preferences from your Mac if you want to remove remaining on-device app data.

If you contact us by email and later want that correspondence deleted, you can request deletion at the contact address below.

Changes to this policy

If Capture In Picture adds new data features in the future, this policy will be updated before or when those changes take effect.

Any updated version will include a revised effective date on this page.
