Privacy Policy
Delecto is a macOS application made by Edson Ayllon. This policy describes what the app does with your data. The short version: nothing, because it never leaves your Mac.
Data the app collects
None. The app has no networking code, no analytics, no crash reporting, no accounts, and no third-party software components. It cannot transmit anything.
Data the app stores on your Mac
To do its job, the app writes the following to your Mac:
- Bracket records (the shuffled order of photos and each decision you or Apple Intelligence made) and small preview thumbnails, in the app’s library folder on your Mac (Settings › Show in Finder opens it).
- If Apple Intelligence culling is used, per-photo measurements (sharpness, exposure, faces, content tags) cached in the same folder.
- Optionally, a
Brackets.delectofile next to the photos in each folder you sort. You can turn this off in Settings. - Copies of your picks in a destination you choose, only when you click Export.
You can delete all of it at any time by removing that folder and any Brackets.delecto files. The app never modifies your original photos unless you choose Export with Move.
The Mac App Store
Downloads from the Mac App Store are handled by Apple under Apple’s own terms and privacy policy. If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers, Apple may give the developer aggregated, anonymous statistics. The app itself collects nothing.
Apple Intelligence
When enabled, photos are analyzed with Apple’s Vision framework and matches are judged by the on-device Foundation Model. Both run on your Mac. Apple’s own terms for Apple Intelligence apply to that feature.
Permissions
macOS may ask once before the app writes into Desktop, Documents, Downloads, or an external drive. That is macOS protecting your folders; the app uses the permission only to write bracket files and exports where you asked.
This website
delecto.app is a static site hosted on Firebase Hosting, a Google service. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Google’s hosting infrastructure may log standard request data (such as IP address and user agent) as described in Google’s privacy policy.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
