DM Adieu Film Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 13, 2026
DM Adieu Film is published by Dependent Media. It is a video editor for the Mac. This policy explains what the app stores, what leaves your Mac, and what we can see.
The short version
DM Adieu Film collects nothing. There is no account, no sign-in and no server. The app has no network access: it cannot upload your projects or footage because it has no way to upload anything. We do not use advertising or analytics SDKs, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
1. What is stored on your Mac
Your projects and exports live wherever you save them. The app keeps a crash-recovery copy of the open project, auto-save versions, render previews, proxies, its media cache, logs, your preferences and the list of recent projects. All of this stays in the app’s own sandboxed container on your Mac. None of it is uploaded. Deleting the app removes it.
2. Files and folders you open
The app runs in the macOS App Sandbox. It can read only the projects, clips and folders you give it yourself through the Open and Import dialogs, the folder picker, drag and drop, or the Finder, and it writes only where you choose to save or export. To keep a project’s media available after a restart, it stores a macOS “security-scoped bookmark” for each of those files and folders, in its own container; you can remove them by deleting the app.
It can also read and write your Movies folder, the default place for exports, and where voice-over takes and other media the app records go when the project’s own folder is not writable. It does not browse your Photos library or other folders, and it never asks for access to them.
3. Microphone
Voice-over recording reads the microphone. macOS asks for permission the first time you record; the audio goes into a file in your project’s folder or your Movies folder and nowhere else. You can decline and use every other feature.
4. What was removed for this edition
The open-source editor it is based on can download speech-to-text and natural-voice models from the internet. Those features are not compiled into DM Adieu Film, and the app has no network entitlement. Its developer control channel is not started.
5. Links
The Help menu and About window open pages on dependentmedia.com and the FilmCraft project’s pages in your web browser. Nothing is sent when you open them beyond what your browser sends to any website.
6. Children
The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
7. Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears at this address with a new date.
