Privacy Policy — TerseEditor

Effective Date: August 8, 2026

TerseEditor (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the TerseEditor macOS application (the “App”) and the website terseeditor.com (the “Website”). It is prepared in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”).

Data Controller

The data controller responsible for the processing of personal data under GDPR is:
Nadzeya Yashchuk
Käferheimerstraße 153b / Tür 12, 5071 Wals-Siezenheim, Austria
Email: contact@nadzeyayashchuk.com

The App: What Data We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit personal data from the App. TerseEditor works entirely on your device: it requires no account, makes no network calls, and contains no analytics, telemetry or crash-reporting of any kind. You can run it on an offline Mac and nothing changes.

Your Files and Notes

Documents you open and notes you create in TerseEditor:

  • are stored as plain text files on your device, in folders you choose;
  • are never uploaded to, stored on, or transmitted to our servers — we have no servers;
  • are never shared with third parties by the App.

If you point the notes folder at a cloud-synced location (for example iCloud Drive), synchronisation is performed by that provider under its own terms — the App itself still transmits nothing.

The Website: Analytics

The Website uses Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC) to understand aggregate visits and download counts. Google Analytics may set cookies and process truncated IP addresses and browser metadata. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of the Website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Data processed by Google may be transferred to the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can opt out with the Google Analytics browser add-on or by blocking the googletagmanager.com domain. See Google's Privacy Policy.

The Website: Hosting

The Website and downloads are served by Cloudflare, Inc. acting as our processor. Cloudflare may process connection metadata (IP address, request headers) briefly for security and delivery purposes, in accordance with Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell personal data. We do not share personal data with third parties, except the service providers named above (Google, Cloudflare) and authorities where required by applicable law.

Your Rights

Since the App does not collect or store your personal data, there is no App data held by us for you to access, correct, or delete. For questions about Website analytics or any GDPR inquiry, contact us at contact@nadzeyayashchuk.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde) or your local EU supervisory authority.

Children's Privacy

The App and Website are not directed at children under 13. No personal data is knowingly collected from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always available at terseeditor.com/privacy with the effective date shown above.
