Privacy Policy

Caplio is a local-first macOS app for capturing screenshots, searching and organizing images, and creating documents. Your visual library stays on your Mac.

Your images, OCR text, search queries, filenames, folder paths, Capture Session names, and document content are not uploaded for analytics or remote processing.

Caplio may send limited privacy-preserving usage analytics to TelemetryDeck to help us understand how the product is used and improve the app. Analytics are separate from your library content.

Caplio does not use analytics for advertising, does not use TelemetryDeck for cross-app or cross-website tracking, and does not sell personal data.

Core Caplio features run on your Mac. OCR, indexing, search, categorization, thumbnail generation, and Similar Images processing are performed locally/on-device.

Caplio does not require cloud AI to search your library.

The following stay on your Mac and are not uploaded for analytics or remote processing:

Caplio accesses only the folders you select or authorize, as needed for its library features.

Folder authorization and security-scoped bookmark information remain local on your Mac and are not sent as analytics.

You can remove folder access through Caplio’s settings or macOS Privacy & Security settings.

Caplio uses TelemetryDeck, a privacy-preserving analytics service, to collect limited anonymous product-usage events. We use this information to understand how Caplio is used and to improve the product.

Examples of product interactions that may be recorded include:

These events describe product interactions. They do not include the contents of your visual library.

Analytics events do not contain:

Caplio does not send your actual search query, image, document, filename, or other library content to TelemetryDeck.

The TelemetryDeck SDK may attach technical metadata needed for aggregate analytics, such as:

This means Caplio does not upload your visual-library content, but it does transmit limited product-interaction and technical analytics data.

TelemetryDeck uses an installation-specific anonymous identifier for aggregate analytics. Caplio does not provide TelemetryDeck with your name, email address, Apple Account, a Caplio account (Caplio does not require a user account), Caplio’s Keychain trial installation ID, or library/database identifiers.

According to TelemetryDeck’s documentation, IP addresses are not stored as part of its analytics data.

Purchases and subscriptions are processed through Apple’s App Store and StoreKit. Caplio does not receive your credit card or other payment card details.

Analytics may record only the general Caplio plan category associated with a purchase event, such as monthly, yearly, or lifetime. StoreKit transaction IDs and receipts are not sent to TelemetryDeck.

Internet access may be used for Apple App Store purchase and subscription services, including verifying Caplio Pro access and restoring purchases.

Caplio stores product and library information locally on your Mac as needed for functionality. This may include image library and index information, OCR and indexing data, watched-folder authorization, settings, local trial state, and analytics milestone flags.

Analytics milestone flags are local state used to avoid repeatedly recording one-time milestones.

Core library, search, and OCR features do not require uploading your library content. An internet connection may still be used for App Store services and anonymous usage analytics when available.

This website does not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers.

Deleting Caplio or removing its local application data removes locally stored Caplio data, subject to normal macOS and App Store behavior.

Analytics data already transmitted to TelemetryDeck is handled under TelemetryDeck’s applicable privacy and data practices. Deleting the local app does not necessarily delete previously transmitted aggregate analytics data.

Caplio is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through Caplio analytics.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
