Scope and responsible company
This notice covers MIXEL Light 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
Organize a local photo library, adjust photographs and export separate copies. The library, source photos, local settings and exported files are stored on your device in the locations used or chosen for those actions.
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
Optional model downloads for masks, denoising or faces contact the model host when you request them. These model-file requests download model files; they do not upload the photo being edited. Models use local disk space and have their own terms. If you request the GeoNames place-name dataset, the app downloads it for local location lookup.
Light also supports optional remote denoising and segmentation. These connections are off unless you configure them. When a configured remote operation runs, the app sends the image tiles or RGB image data needed for that operation to your configured processor. The denoising connection itself is not encrypted. Segmentation connects to an address on this device and can use a tunnel you configure to reach another processor. The processor and any tunnel you choose determine how that transferred data is handled; it is separate from downloading a model file. Leave remote connections unconfigured to use local processing.
“Show on Map” opens OpenStreetMap in your browser and includes the selected photo’s latitude and longitude in the link. Use that action only when you intend to share the location with the map website. Other web links you choose also connect your browser to their destination sites.
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.
