Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

Better Image Optimizer is designed with privacy as a core principle.

Data Collection

We do not collect any data.

The app:

  • Does not collect personal information
  • Does not track usage or analytics
  • Does not transmit any data to external servers
  • Does not require an internet connection
  • Does not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs

Local Processing

All image optimization is performed locally on your Mac. Your images:

  • Never leave your device
  • Are processed entirely in-memory using the libvips library
  • Are saved only to locations you explicitly choose

File Access

The app only accesses files and folders that you explicitly provide through:

  • Drag and drop
  • File picker dialogs
  • Watch folders you configure

The app uses macOS sandbox security and does not have access to files outside of what you grant.

Third-Party Libraries

Better Image Optimizer uses the open-source libvips library for image processing. This library operates entirely locally and does not transmit any data.
