Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how LintMD (“we,” “us”) handles information when you use the LintMD macOS application (“App”) and this website. We aim to collect only what we need to provide the product and operate our services.

Information the App processes on your device

LintMD is designed to open Markdown files and folders that you choose. File contents and paths are processed on your Mac to show previews and editing. In the ordinary course, we do not receive your documents: they stay on your device unless you use a feature that explicitly sends data to us (none is required for basic local use).

Information we may collect

Depending on how you obtain the App and whether you contact us, we may process:

• Website and download logs. Our hosting provider may log standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, and request time when you visit this site or download files. Retention depends on the provider’s configuration.
• Support communications. If you email support, we receive the content of your message and associated metadata (such as your address and time of delivery).
• Updates and telemetry (if enabled). If a future version of the App checks for updates or sends optional diagnostics, we will describe that collection in an updated policy and, where required, obtain consent before enabling it.

Cookies

This static site does not set analytics cookies by default. If you embed third-party content (for example a video or payment widget) later, those providers may set their own cookies; update this section when you add such features.

Legal bases (EEA, UK, and similar regions)

Where GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on legitimate interests to operate the website and respond to inquiries, and on performance of a contract or pre-contract steps when you request a download or purchase. You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Retention

We retain support emails and server logs only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes above, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Exact periods depend on volume and legal requirements.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated through the App or website where appropriate.
