DM Adieu Design Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 13, 2026

DM Adieu Design is published by Dependent Media. It is a page-layout app for the Mac. This policy explains what the app stores, what leaves your Mac, and what we can see.

The short version

DM Adieu Design collects nothing. There is no account, no sign-in and no server. The app contains no code for talking to the internet: it cannot upload your documents 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 documents live wherever you save them. The app keeps a recovery copy of unsaved documents, so a crash does not lose your work, along with your preferences, workspaces, a log file and the list of files you have opened or placed (so they stay reachable after a restart). 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 the app can reach

The app runs in the macOS App Sandbox with these permissions only:

• Files you choose (read and write): documents, pictures, books and data sources you pick in the Open, Place and Save dialogs, drag onto the window or open from the Finder.
• Remembered files: the app keeps macOS’s permission for those same files, so they open and save again after a restart. It does not reach anything you have not chosen.
• Printing: File › Print sends the pages to the printers set up on your Mac.

Like every Mac app, it can also read the fonts installed on your Mac, including those in your own Fonts folder, so you can use them in your layouts. It does not browse your documents, photos or other folders, and it never asks for access to them.

3. What is not in this version

The open-source app it is based on can be driven from other programs over a local network connection and links to an online community. The App Store version has no network permission at all: the remote-control connection cannot open, and the Help menu links to our own support pages instead.

4. Links

The Help menu opens pages on dependentmedia.com and the DesignCraft project’s pages in your web browser. Nothing is sent when you open them beyond what your browser sends to any website.

5. Children

The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

6. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version appears at this address with a new date.
