Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 14, 2026
RevelRaw ("we", "our", "the app") is a macOS application for RAW photo editing. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the app handles and how.
1. Data We Collect
None. RevelRaw does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data, usage analytics, or telemetry. The app does not require an account, login, or registration of any kind. Apple's App Store handles all purchases, so we never receive your name, Apple ID, or payment details.
2. Photos and Files
All photo processing — including RAW decoding, preset application, scene detection, and export — happens entirely on your Mac. Your photos are never uploaded to any server. RevelRaw accesses only the files you explicitly open or drag into the app.
3. Author Profile
RevelRaw allows you to save an author profile (name, website, email, license preference) that is embedded in exported photos as IPTC/EXIF metadata. This profile is stored locally on your Mac using macOS preferences and is never transmitted anywhere.
4. Apple Vision Framework
RevelRaw uses Apple's Vision framework for on-device scene classification to rank presets by relevance. This processing runs entirely on your Mac's hardware. No image data is sent to Apple or any third party for this feature.
5. Network Access and Purchases
All photo editing works fully offline. Opening files, applying presets, scene detection, AI denoise, and export all happen on your Mac with no internet connection. RevelRaw connects to the network only for in-app purchases, where it fetches plan prices and confirms your RevelRaw Pro access through Apple's App Store. Apple processes every payment. We never receive your payment details, and no photos or personal data leave your Mac during a purchase.
6. Third-Party Services
RevelRaw does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
7. Data Storage
The only data stored by RevelRaw is:
- Your author profile preferences (locally, via macOS UserDefaults)
- A local record of whether your free export has been used (via macOS UserDefaults). Your RevelRaw Pro status comes from Apple's App Store and is not stored by us.
- Exported image files (to the location you choose)
You can delete the author profile at any time by clearing the fields in the app's metadata settings.
8. Children's Privacy
RevelRaw does not collect data from anyone, including children. The app is suitable for all ages.
9. Changes to This Policy
If we update this privacy policy, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated date. Since RevelRaw collects no data, changes are expected to be minimal.
