Privacy Policy

Vivid Walls is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe a wallpaper app has no business collecting your data.

What we collect

Nothing. Vivid Walls does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information, usage data, analytics, telemetry, or crash reports. The app runs entirely on your Mac.

Local network access

Vivid Walls includes an optional "Import from PC" feature that uses your local network to discover and download wallpapers from the Vivid Walls Companion app running on your Windows PC. This communication:

  • Happens only over your local network (LAN)
  • Is initiated by you, not automatically
  • Never leaves your home network
  • Is not logged, tracked, or transmitted to us

The Companion app on Windows auto-shuts down after 30 minutes of inactivity. All wallpaper transfers happen directly between your Mac and your PC on the same local network.

Microphone access

Vivid Walls may request microphone access for audio-reactive wallpapers that respond to sound. This is entirely optional. Audio data is processed locally in real-time to drive visual effects and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

Wallpaper files

Wallpaper files you import remain on your Mac in the app's sandboxed container. We do not upload, scan, or analyze your wallpaper library. All file access is sandboxed per Apple's App Sandbox requirements.

Third parties

Vivid Walls does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. There are no SDKs from Google, Facebook, or any other company embedded in the app.

Children

Vivid Walls is rated 4+ and is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If we ever change this policy, we will update the "last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated through the app.
