Privacy Policy

SourceCollect is a desktop app for macOS and Windows, developed by fazstudio. It finds creative projects and the media they use, and collects them into a folder you choose. This policy covers the SourceCollect app.

What the app reads

SourceCollect reads project files and media in the folders and drives you give it access to, so it can list them, show previews and collect them. On a Mac, it can only read locations you have granted in the system's file panel.

What the app keeps on your computer

• Your settings, and on a Mac, the folder access you granted.
• A library index of the projects and media it has found, and preview thumbnails.
• Logs of what it did, which can include file names and folder paths.
• A report beside each collection, in the destination you chose.

This information stays on your computer and is never sent to us. To remove it from a Mac, delete SourceCollect and the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.fazorni.sourcecollect. On Windows, uninstall SourceCollect, and choose to remove its data if the uninstaller asks. Collections you made are yours, and removing the app does not delete them.

Network use

SourceCollect does not upload your files or library. Direct trial editions require an internet connection for initial activation and periodic verification. They send an application-specific hash of a device identifier, the operating-system type and a random request challenge. The original hardware/installation identifier is not sent. Cloudflare processes these requests and stores the trial start, deadline and revocation state in our activation database. We retain the device trial record to prevent ordinary reinstallations from restarting the trial.

A cached activation can allow up to 48 hours of offline trial use, never beyond the original seven-day deadline. Limited collection and the view-only Library remain available when full trial access expires. Network providers necessarily process connection information such as the IP address; our abuse counters use a daily hash and expire after eight days. Links in the app open in your browser.

Optional welcome emails, tutorials and updates

If you choose the optional email signup, we send your email address and subscription preference to Loops, our email provider. We also retain a hashed address and consent record to prevent duplicate welcome requests. Each marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing does not change trial access, projects, settings or the Library. You can request help with your subscription or stored data at support@fazstudio.net.

Crash reports from Apple and Microsoft

If you have chosen to share analytics with Apple or Microsoft, their systems may give the developer anonymous crash reports for SourceCollect. That sharing is set in your system settings and is covered by Apple's and Microsoft's privacy policies.

Sharing and selling

We do not sell your personal information. Cloudflare processes activation data and Loops processes optional email subscriptions to provide the services described above. Your project files and media are not shared with these providers by SourceCollect.

Children

The optional email signup is intended for people using SourceCollect for their creative work. Contact support if an email address or other information was supplied in error.

Changes to this policy
