Morfi Privacy Policy

In short

Morfi converts files on your Mac. Your files are never uploaded. Morfi has no accounts, no usage analytics, no ads and no tracking, and TechNICKal LLC doesn't sell your data or share it for advertising. The only information that leaves your Mac because of Morfi is described below.

Your files

Every conversion happens on your Mac. Morfi reads the files you drop in or choose, and saves the converted files where you ask (by default, next to the originals). Morfi doesn't send your files, their contents or information about them to TechNICKal LLC or anyone else. Privacy X-ray reads hidden details in a file, such as where a photo was taken, only to show them to you and to remove them if you ask.

What stays on your Mac

Morfi keeps its settings, your recent format choices, the folders you've allowed it to save into and how many free conversions you've used today. All of this stays on your Mac, in Morfi's own storage, and is never sent anywhere.

If you turn on the drop shelf, Morfi follows the pointer's position and the mouse button, and while you're dragging, checks what's being dragged (whether it's a file, picture or link, and its file type) so it can open the shelf near the top of the screen with the right formats. It never sees your keystrokes in other apps, and nothing about your drags leaves your Mac. Morfi reads the clipboard only when you paste, and writes to it only when you copy.

Purchases and RevenueCat

Apple handles payment for Morfi Pro through the App Store. TechNICKal LLC never sees your payment details. Apple's privacy policy covers App Store purchases.

Morfi uses RevenueCat, a service for in-app purchases, to confirm that you own Morfi Pro, to restore it on your Mac, and to show TechNICKal LLC sales figures. For this, RevenueCat receives:

• a random ID that Morfi creates, which isn't linked to your name, email or Apple Account;
• your Morfi purchase history from the App Store;
• basic technical details: the app and macOS version, your language and region, and the IP address its servers see with any internet request.

This information isn't linked to your identity and isn't used for tracking or advertising. RevenueCat's privacy policy is at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.

Web pages and links

When you drop a link or web page into Morfi to convert it, Morfi loads that page the way a browser would, including the pictures and other files the page itself asks for. It does so in a private session, without your cookies or sign-ins, which is discarded afterwards. The website's own privacy practices apply to those requests. Morfi sends nothing else.

Maps

When you turn a GPS file (GPX, KML or GeoJSON) into a map picture, Morfi asks Apple Maps for the map of that area, so Apple receives the area shown. No other conversion uses Maps. Apple's privacy policy applies.

Speech, Just Say It and Dictation

• Transcripts and subtitles: speech recognition runs on your Mac and your recording isn't sent anywhere. Morfi asks for permission first. The first time, macOS may download Apple's speech model for your language.
• Just Say It: your typed request is understood on your Mac, by Apple Intelligence on supported Macs or by Morfi's own keyword reader. It isn't sent anywhere.
• The microphone button starts macOS Dictation. Dictation is a macOS feature and follows your Mac's Dictation settings and Apple's privacy policy. Morfi never gets access to your microphone.

Feedback

Send Feedback opens a new email in your mail app, with Morfi's and macOS's version numbers filled in. Nothing is sent until you send it. If you email nicholas@technickalapps.com, TechNICKal LLC receives your email address, your message and any attachments you choose to send. Our email is provided by Google Workspace. We use your email to answer you and to fix problems, and keep it only as long as needed for that, for security and for legal obligations.

Crash reports

If you've chosen to share analytics with app developers in macOS (System Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements), Apple may send TechNICKal LLC crash reports and basic diagnostics from Morfi. They don't include your files and aren't linked to you. You can turn this off there at any time.

Website

Morfi's support and privacy pages at technickalapps.com need no account and have no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. Google Firebase Hosting serves the pages and may process standard request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and protect the website. Google's privacy policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Children

Morfi doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Your choices, and deleting your data

• You can change Morfi's settings at any time, turn off the drop shelf, and turn off opening at login in Morfi's Settings or in macOS Login Items.
• To delete everything Morfi keeps on your Mac, quit Morfi and delete these two folders: ~/Library/Containers/com.nickarabia.morfi and ~/Library/Containers/com.nickarabia.morfi.chrysalis (in Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder and type ~/Library/Containers; Finder may show them by name instead, such as Morfi). Your original and converted files aren't affected.
• RevenueCat's records use a random ID that TechNICKal LLC can't connect to you. To ask about or delete them, email nicholas@technickalapps.com with the date of your purchase and the order ID from Apple's receipt email, so we can find the right record.
• Deleting Morfi doesn't cancel or refund an App Store purchase. For that, contact Apple.

Changes

If Morfi's data practices change, we'll update this policy and its effective date on this page.
