Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through the website, downloads, release notes, updates, and support communications, and how we use it.
We only collect information through the website, app update checks, and related support communications. The app itself does not collect, transmit, or send your notes, file paths, preferences, or other app data to us.
What Stays On Your Device
Yiana Writer reads and writes files and folders that you choose to open on your own Mac. It also stores local app state on your device so it can restore windows, remember Locations, and keep preferences between launches.
That local app data stays on your device unless you choose to share something with us separately, such as by emailing support.
Information We Collect Through The Website
We do not store user information from ordinary website visits. The website does not provide user accounts, subscriptions, online note storage, or other features that require visitors to submit personal information.
Cloudflare, our hosting and security provider, may set strictly necessary cookies for traffic management, abuse prevention, security checks, rate limiting, or similar operational purposes.
Information We Collect Through Update Checks
When Yiana Writer checks for updates, we may receive operational information such as IP address, operating system version, app version, access time, requested update files, approximate timestamps, and basic request diagnostics needed to keep downloads and updates working.
What We Do Not Intentionally Collect
The website is not built around user accounts, subscriptions, or online note storage. We do not require you to upload notes to use Yiana Writer.
Yiana Writer does not include hosted accounts, cloud sync, in-app analytics, crash-reporting SDKs, or any other in-app data collection sent to us, except for the operational data sent when the app checks for updates. See Cookies And Similar Technologies below.
If you voluntarily send us files, screenshots, crash details, or sample notes for support or debugging, we may receive and review whatever you choose to include.
How We Use Information
- To operate, secure, and improve the website, downloads, release notes, and update infrastructure.
- To respond to support requests, bug reports, and feedback.
- To investigate abuse, fraud, security incidents, crashes, broken downloads, and reliability issues.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the site, handling support, maintaining security, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.
Your Choices
You can choose not to contact us or send attachments. If you want us to delete a support email or attachment you previously sent, contact email and we will review the request subject to any legal or operational need to retain it.
Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of your personal information.
Changes And Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will post the updated version here with a new Last updated date. Questions can be sent to email.
