MarkdownBeautiful Privacy Policy

1. Who this covers

This policy covers MarkdownBeautiful for macOS and its Quick Look preview and Finder thumbnail extensions, published by Park Street Post, Inc. (Burbank, California). This website has its own privacy policy.

2. Your documents

The app reads the files you open and renders them on your Mac. Document contents are never uploaded, and nothing about them is sent to us or to anyone else.

3. No accounts, tracking, or analytics

There is no sign-in, no telemetry, no usage analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking code. The app does not know who you are or how you use it.

4. Network access

The app connects to the internet only to load remote images and other resources that a document you open refers to, the same way a web browser would. Those requests go directly to the servers named in the document. To prevent them, turn off Load images from the web in MarkdownBeautiful → Settings… → Rendering; documents then can't contact any website. Finder thumbnails never use the network. Links you click open in your default browser or app.

5. Settings and folder permissions

Your preferences, reading positions, and the folders you allow the app to read are stored only on your Mac. Preferences are in ~/Library/Group Containers/93JZXCM7SL.com.parkstreetpost.markdownbeautiful, shared with the app's extensions so previews match the app. Reading positions and folder permissions are in ~/Library/Containers/com.parkstreetpost.markdownbeautiful. macOS keeps these folders when you delete the app; delete them too to remove this data. You can also remove folder permissions at any time in MarkdownBeautiful → Settings… → Folder Access.

6. Purchases

MarkdownBeautiful is sold through the Mac App Store, and Apple processes the purchase under Apple's privacy policy. Apple does not share your name, email address, or payment details with us.

7. Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it. Questions: support@parkstreetpostsoftware.com.
