Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-02-08

Summary

  • SlideTouch processes everything 100% on your device.
  • The app has no network access and never uploads your files.
  • No advertising, tracking, or analytics SDKs are included.

Information We Access

SlideTouch accesses only the files you explicitly open through the system file picker or drag-and-drop:

  • PDF files and images you choose to edit
  • Export destination folders you select for saving

SlideTouch does not access your photo library, contacts, calendars, or any other system data.

On-Device Processing

All processing runs locally on your Mac:

  • OCR: Apple Vision framework (VNRecognizeTextRequest)
  • Inpainting: LaMa FP16 Core ML model on Neural Engine
  • Segmentation: SAM2 Tiny Core ML model on Neural Engine
  • Rendering: Core Graphics and Core Image

No cloud APIs, no remote inference, no server communication of any kind.

Network Access

SlideTouch has no network entitlements. The app is sandboxed and physically cannot make network requests. Your documents stay entirely on your machine.

ML Models

Machine learning models (LaMa, SAM2) are bundled with the app at install time. They are not downloaded from the internet. Model inference runs entirely on your Mac's Neural Engine.

Data Storage

SlideTouch stores only app preferences and recent file references in its sandboxed container. No user content is cached or stored beyond what you explicitly save through the Export function.

Data Deletion

When you delete SlideTouch, all app data is removed with it. Original PDF files are never modified by SlideTouch and remain wherever you saved them.
