Scope and responsible company
This notice describes MIXEL Photo for macOS in its Mac App Store or TestFlight distribution, Windows in its Microsoft Store MSIX distribution, and Linux in its desktop package distributions. Mixel IT and Corporate Services GmbH is responsible for this notice. For questions, email info@mixel.ch.
It covers this version of the Photo desktop app. It does not describe future SaaS or cloud services, other MIXEL products, or the separate handling of information when you visit our website or contact us.
Your files and local editing
You can open an image, edit colours, undo and redo changes, save and reopen a Photo document, and export PNG or JPEG files without a MIXEL account.
The app uses the file contents and metadata needed to carry out the actions you request on your device. Your documents and exported copies remain in the locations you choose. Opening, editing, saving or exporting a file does not upload that file to MIXEL.
If you choose a folder synchronized by iCloud Drive, OneDrive or another provider, that provider and your own settings govern synchronization. Choosing such a location is separate from an upload by MIXEL Photo.
Local app data and connections
This desktop version carries out the local editing actions above on your device without requiring a MIXEL account. Opening, editing, saving and exporting through those workflows does not automatically send your images, documents or editing activity to MIXEL.
Any local settings, recovery information or diagnostic information used by the app are not automatically sent to MIXEL. You decide whether to share a sample document or diagnostic information when asking for help.
Web links you choose use your browser. The destination site receives that connection and applies its own privacy notice.
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 without granting the requested access.
Your operating system controls the permissions available to the app. If an optional action asks for an operating-system permission, you can decide whether to grant it. This notice does not grant access to your files on your behalf.
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 email us or use the company contact page, you choose the message, reply address and any attachments you provide. That contact information is handled to respond to your request; it is distinct from automatic data collection by the app.
For website and voluntary contact handling, read the company privacy policy. You can also use the company contact page or email info@mixel.ch for support or a privacy question.
Use a small, non-sensitive example where possible. Do not send passwords, API tokens, private signing keys or documents you are not entitled to share.
Other notices
Copyright and third-party licence notices supplied with MIXEL Photo remain applicable. This privacy notice does not replace or remove those notices.
If a later version introduces different data handling, its notice will need to describe that version. No future SaaS or cloud functionality is covered by the statements above.
