Overview

HDR Forge ("the App") is developed by Scott Manley. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our macOS application.

The short version: HDR Forge does not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. All photo processing happens entirely on your device.

Information We Do Not Collect

HDR Forge is designed with privacy as a core principle. The App:

• Does not collect personal information

• Does not collect usage analytics or telemetry

• Does not collect crash reports automatically

• Does not access your photos outside of what you explicitly import

• Does not upload your photos to any server

• Does not require an account or sign-in

• Does not use cookies or tracking technologies

• Does not share any data with third parties
