Scope and responsible company
This notice covers MIXEL Effects for macOS in its Mac App Store or TestFlight distribution, Windows in its Microsoft Store MSIX distribution, and Linux in its desktop package distributions. It describes this desktop app version; other products and future SaaS or cloud services require their own applicable notices.
Mixel IT and Corporate Services GmbH provides these apps. For support or privacy questions, email info@mixel.ch or use the company contact page.
Your documents on your device
Work with local footage, compositions and layers, save a .ecproj project and render separate output files. Project and media data needed for these actions are processed on your device.
Opening, editing, saving and exporting through these local workflows does not send the document contents to MIXEL. The app can store local settings, previews and recovery information as part of its operation. If you select an iCloud Drive, OneDrive or other synchronized folder, the provider and your settings control that synchronization.
Optional downloads and web links
Effects scripts can make network connections when you turn on the Scripting & Expressions preference “Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network”. This preference is off by default. When enabled, a running script can send or receive the data it supplies through connections to its chosen destinations. Enable this access only for scripts you trust; those scripts and destinations determine the information transferred.
When an optional Roto Brush or face-tracking model download is offered and you choose it, the app requests the model file from its listed host and stores it locally. That model-file download does not upload your footage or composition. Models have their own author and licence notices. Installation from a local model file may also be offered.
Web links you choose use your browser. Their destination sites receive those connections and apply their own privacy notices.
Files and permissions you control
Use the app’s file and folder dialogs to choose what to open and where to save or export. You can cancel a dialog. Your operating system controls the permissions available to the app. Exported files can contain the content and metadata you retain; inspect them before sharing.
Windows and Linux builds have an optional local automation interface that is off unless you enable it at launch. It listens on this device rather than on a MIXEL cloud service. Connected local tools can inspect and control the app and obtain data exposed by that interface; enable it only for tools you trust.
Voluntary support and privacy questions
If you contact us, you choose the message, reply address and attachments to provide. We use that information to respond to your request. Sharing a sample document or diagnostic file is optional. The company privacy policy covers website and voluntary contact handling separately.
Other notices
Copyright and third-party licence notices supplied with the app remain applicable. Optional downloaded models or datasets have their own terms and notices. This page does not replace them. Future versions that change data handling require an updated notice.
