Privacy Policy

Overview

DejaView is a macOS application that transforms your Apple Photos albums into photo streams served over your local network. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Data Collection

DejaView does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

• No analytics or tracking of any kind
• No crash reporting to external servers
• No user accounts or registration
• No cloud uploads or external API calls
• No advertising or third-party integrations

Photos Library Access

DejaView requests read-only access to your Apple Photos library to display your photos on local network devices.

• Read-Only Access: DejaView never modifies, deletes, or writes to your Photos library
• Local Processing Only: All photo processing happens on your Mac
• No Cloud Uploads: Your photos are never uploaded to any external server
• No Copies Made: Photos are served directly from your library without creating duplicates

Local Network Server

DejaView runs a local HTTP/HTTPS server to serve photos to devices on your network.

• Local Network Only: The server is only accessible from your local network
• No Internet Exposure: DejaView does not expose your photos to the internet
• Your Control: You choose which albums to share and can stop the server at any time

Data Storage

DejaView stores minimal configuration data locally on your Mac:

• User Defaults: App preferences (port settings, HTTPS configuration, stream definitions) are stored in macOS User Defaults
• Certificates: If you enable HTTPS, self-signed certificates are stored in ~/.dejaview/ on your Mac
• No External Storage: No data is stored on external servers

Third-Party Services

DejaView does not use any third-party services, SDKs, or libraries that collect user data.

Children's Privacy

DejaView does not collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
