Privacy Policy for SwiftBiu

Effective Date: June 30, 2026
Last Updated: June 30, 2026

SwiftBiu ("we," "our," or "us") built SwiftBiu as a commercial/freemium app for macOS. This Privacy Policy explains how we protect your privacy and handle information when you use SwiftBiu.

By using SwiftBiu, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. Information We Protect & Handle

Text and File Processing (Local-First)

SwiftBiu is designed to run locally and respect your privacy.

  • Local Execution: All text selection, clipboard actions, OCR processing, and file drag workflows are processed entirely on your local Mac.
  • No Text or File Collection: We do not collect, store, or transmit your selected text, drag-and-drop files, or clipboard history to our servers.
  • External API Integrations: When you explicitly trigger actions that require external APIs (e.g., translation services, Gemini/OpenAI models, or external plugins), the necessary text or files are sent to those respective services to fulfill your request. These calls only happen on demand when you interact with those specific features.

Information We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not require or collect user account registration.
  • We do not track you across other apps or websites.
  • We do not store any personal identification data on our servers.

Information Collected Automatically (Diagnostics & Store Actions)

  • App Store Diagnostics: If you choose to share diagnostics with Apple, we may receive anonymous crash logs and basic device info (macOS version, device type, app version) through App Store Connect.
  • Analytics: We do not include third-party user-tracking SDKs in the app.

2. How We Use Information

We use the minimal anonymous info collected via App Store Connect to:

  • Resolve bugs, crashes, and performance issues.
  • Improve compatibility across different macOS versions.
  • Optimize app speed and efficiency.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal or usage information.

  • We do not share data with advertising networks or data brokers.
  • We only transmit request payloads to external service providers (e.g., AI/translation APIs) when you explicitly initiate an action.

4. Data Security

Any local configuration, such as your custom plugins, history settings, and API keys, are stored securely on your local device:

  • API keys are stored securely using macOS Keychain.
  • All network communications to third-party APIs (triggered on-demand by you) use secure HTTPS/TLS encryption.

5. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)

Because we process your data locally and do not store your personal information on our servers:

  • We have no personal data to delete, export, or correct.
  • If you have any inquiries regarding privacy, you can reach out to us at [email protected].

6. Children's Privacy

SwiftBiu does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since all text and files remain on your local Mac, children's privacy is protected at the source.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document and hosting the updated policy on our website.
