Terms & disclosures

Last updated: 26 October 2026

Who runs this site

This site is published by ChrisGVE.

The publisher can be reached through the form on the Contact page.

Using this site

App descriptions are written with care. The app itself and its store listing are the authority on what an app does and what it needs. The site is provided as it is, and it may contain mistakes or fall out of date.

Links to other sites are there for convenience. ChrisGVE does not control those sites.

Buying apps

This site does not sell anything and does not take payments. Apps are sold through the Mac App Store. If an app is later offered through Setapp, Setapp’s own terms apply to that purchase.

On the Mac App Store, Apple takes the payment, shows the price and taxes at purchase, and decides refund requests. To ask for a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com; Apple explains the steps on its refund page.

Apps from the Mac App Store are licensed, not sold. Unless an app states its own licence terms, the licence is Apple’s Standard EULA, and the licence is granted by the app’s provider, ChrisGVE.

Questions about a purchase can go through the support form.

What this site stores

The site itself sets no cookies and loads no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. The contact and support pages also run Cloudflare Turnstile, described under Contact form. The site’s host, Cloudflare, keeps aggregate traffic statistics (request counts, no personal profiles) as part of serving the site. Fonts are served from the site itself, so no request goes to a font service.

The site itself saves nothing in your browser.

The site is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare. As with any hosted site, Cloudflare processes the technical data of each request, such as your IP address and browser details, to deliver the pages and keep the site secure. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Contact form

The contact form collects a topic, your name (optional), your email address and your message. The support form works the same way and also asks which app the message is about, which kind of Mac you use (Apple silicon or Intel), the app’s version and your macOS version; those three are required for a bug report and optional for the other topics. On the support form you can also attach up to three screenshots, as PNG or JPEG images. Before they are sent, the page makes a new copy of each image in your browser; the copy leaves out the extra information stored in the original file, such as location and device details. A screenshot can show more than you mean to share, so crop out anything your question doesn’t need. What you send is used to read your message, reply to you and handle your request, and for nothing else. Your address is not added to any list, shared for marketing or sold.

How it travels:

The spam check is Cloudflare Turnstile. It is loaded from Cloudflare only when you start filling in the contact form or a support form, and runs in a frame from Cloudflare’s address, challenges.cloudflare.com. It reads signals from your browser, such as your IP address and browser details, to tell people from bots, and as part of the check it keeps a little information in your browser’s storage for that address. Cloudflare does this on ChrisGVE’s behalf, and also uses these signals, as a controller in its own right, to improve Turnstile; see the Turnstile privacy policy. You can refuse the check by not using the forms, and remove what it stored by clearing your browser’s website data; the forms then cannot be sent, but you can still reply to any email you have received from ChrisGVE.
The form is received by the site’s hosting provider, Cloudflare, and passed on as an email through Cloudflare Email Sending, from a chrisgve.com address used only for sending. The site keeps no copy of the message or its screenshots once the email is delivered.
The email arrives in a chrisgve.com mailbox hosted by Apple (iCloud Mail). Messages, with any screenshots attached, and the replies to them, are kept until the matter is settled, then deleted, at the latest 12 months after the last message; backup copies go as the backups age out on their own rotation, which may take longer.
An AI assistant may read the message to draft a reply; see AI disclosure.

Cloudflare, Inc. is in the United States; it states that it is certified under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which the Federal Council recognises as adequate for certified organisations (Data Protection Ordinance, Annex 1). Apple states that the data of people in Switzerland is controlled by Apple Distribution International Limited in Ireland. Apple also states that this data is generally stored by Apple Inc. in the United States, and that its transfers of data collected in Switzerland are governed by standard contractual clauses.

To ask what is held about you, or to have it deleted, use the support form: choose “Others” and say that your request is about your data.

If you live in the European Union. The GDPR applies to messages sent through the forms on this site (GDPR Art. 3(2)(a)). ChrisGVE is the controller; you can reach it through the forms, or by replying to any email you have received from it. ChrisGVE processes your message on the basis of its legitimate interest in answering it (Art. 6(1)(f)) or, for a request about your personal data, its legal obligation to answer (Art. 6(1)(c)). Giving your email address is needed only so that ChrisGVE can reply. For a bug report, the support form also needs which kind of Mac you use, the app’s version and your macOS version; without them it cannot be sent as a bug report. Cloudflare processes messages on ChrisGVE’s behalf, and Apple hosts the mailbox they arrive in; the safeguards for data leaving the EU and Switzerland are those set out in A7.6 of BundleHound’s privacy policy. Messages, with any screenshots, are kept until the matter is settled, then deleted, at the latest 12 months after the last message; backup copies go as the backups age out, which may take longer. You may ask for access, rectification, erasure, restriction or portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interest (Arts. 15–18, 20, 21), using the support form (choose “Others” and say that your request is about your data). You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state where you live or work (Art. 77).

If you live in the United States. This site does not track you across sites, so there is nothing for a browser “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal to switch off.

App privacy policies

Each app has its own privacy policy, written for what that app does. It is linked from the app’s page and sits at /<app>/privacy/.

AI disclosure

Customer-facing replies (support, community, bug reports) may be drafted by an AI assistant. It says it is an AI when it writes to you, and it does not pretend to be a person. It does not promise features or dates, and it passes anything contractual, legal or outside an app’s scope to the person who makes the app.

Messages sent through the site’s forms may be read by that assistant to draft a reply. No AI provider receives these messages at present; this page is updated before one does.

Open-source licences

The typefaces on this site are the Noto family, under the SIL Open Font License. The site’s colours follow Catppuccin, under the MIT License. Third-party libraries used inside an app are credited in that app’s About window.

Trademarks

Apple, the Apple logo, Mac, macOS and Mac App Store are trademarks or service marks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries and regions. Other product, project and company names on this site belong to their owners. They appear to describe compatibility or give credit, and they do not imply endorsement.

Changes

These terms may change. The date of the latest change is at the top of this page.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Swiss law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the law where you live and can go to your own courts.
