Privacy Policy

Rove does not collect personal information, usage data, diagnostics, or image content. The app contains no advertising, analytics SDKs, or cross-app tracking technologies.

Viewing images, generating thumbnails, reading metadata, rotating, cropping, and exporting all happen locally on your Mac. Rove does not send images or image metadata to a server.

To browse images continuously in a folder, Rove needs access that you explicitly grant through the macOS system picker. The permission is stored locally as a security-scoped bookmark. You can review or revoke it at any time in Rove settings. Rove does not scan unauthorized locations.

Rove stores app preferences, recent-item history, folder authorization bookmarks, and a thumbnail cache used to speed up browsing. This information does not leave your device and can be removed through app settings or by uninstalling the app.

Rove uses file timestamps to display and sort images, system boot time for performance timing, and user defaults to save your preferences. These uses are declared in the app’s Apple privacy manifest.

Download links on this website take you to the Mac App Store operated by Apple. Store visits, downloads, purchase history, and updates are handled by Apple under its own privacy policy. Rove does not receive your Apple Account information from these links.

This is a static website. It sets no cookies, uses no analytics or advertising services, and collects no information through forms. Email links open in the mail app you choose.

If you have questions about this policy or Rove’s privacy practices, email wynfrith@outlook.com.

If the product or applicable requirements change, we will update this page and show a new revision date at the top.
