Grafiq Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 24, 2026
Overview
Grafiq is a local-first photo, video, and file utility for Mac and Windows, published by Ranbyte Apps. This policy explains how Grafiq handles user data.
Summary
Grafiq is designed to work locally on your computer by default. Grafiq does not require an account, does not show ads, does not add watermarks, and does not sell user data.
Data Collection
Ranbyte Apps does not collect personal information from Grafiq through its own servers. Grafiq does not include third-party advertising or analytics services.
Local File Processing
Grafiq processes files that you choose, such as images, videos, PDFs, documents, and other supported media files. These files are processed locally on your Mac or Windows PC unless you explicitly use an optional feature that sends content to a third-party service.
Grafiq may create edited files, exported files, backups, logs, thumbnails, settings, or temporary files on your computer as part of normal app functionality. These files remain on your device or in locations you choose.
Optional AI and Internet Features
Some Grafiq features may allow you to use third-party AI or internet services. These features are optional and user-initiated.
If you choose to use an optional third-party AI feature, you may be asked to provide your own API key or select content to send. In that case, the selected text, metadata, image information, or other content you choose may be sent to the third-party provider you selected, such as OpenAI or another supported provider. That provider’s privacy policy and terms apply to the data sent to that provider.
Grafiq does not automatically send your files to Ranbyte Apps.
AI-Generated Output Reports
Grafiq may include optional AI-generated captions or descriptions when you choose to use AI features. If an AI-generated result is inappropriate, harmful, offensive, inaccurate, or otherwise problematic, you can report it to Ranbyte Apps.
In the Windows version of Grafiq, you can report AI output issues from inside the app by choosing:
Help → Report AI Output Issue
You may also report AI output issues by emailing: ranbyteapps@gmail.com
Reports are used by Ranbyte Apps to review the issue, respond when appropriate, improve app wording or prompts, and guide future safety improvements. Please do not include private images, passwords, API keys, or sensitive personal information unless needed for the report.
API Keys and Settings
If you enter API keys or preferences in Grafiq, they are stored locally on your computer for app functionality. You can remove or change those settings in the app.
Network Access
Grafiq may use network access only for user-initiated features, such as opening help links, checking user-requested internet information, or using optional third-party AI/API features configured by the user.
Children’s Privacy
Grafiq is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data Sharing
Ranbyte Apps does not sell, rent, or trade user data. Because Grafiq is local-first and does not use Ranbyte Apps servers for file processing, Ranbyte Apps does not receive your files through normal app use.
If you choose to use optional third-party AI or internet services, selected content may be sent to the third-party provider you configured. If you email Ranbyte Apps for support or to report an AI output issue, Ranbyte Apps will receive the information you choose to include in that email.
Security
Grafiq is designed to keep processing local when possible. However, no software or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for deciding which files to open, edit, export, back up, or send to optional third-party services.
Changes to This Policy
Ranbyte Apps may update this privacy policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
Accessibility
Ranbyte Apps wants the Grafiq website to be usable by as many people as possible. If you have trouble accessing this privacy policy or any part of the Grafiq website, please contact ranbyteapps@gmail.com and describe the page and issue so we can review it.
