DM Adieu Vector Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 13, 2026
DM Adieu Vector is published by Dependent Media. It is a vector illustration 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 Vector collects nothing. There is no account, no sign-in and no server. The App Store version has no network access: it cannot upload your artwork because it has no way to upload anything. There is no update checker, no crash reporter and no analytics, 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 recovery copies of documents with unsaved changes, so a crash does not lose them, along with your preferences, workspaces, swatch and style libraries, a log file, and the list of recently opened files with the permission macOS gave it to reopen them. All of this stays in the app’s own sandboxed container on your Mac. None of it is uploaded. Clearing File › Open Recent removes the saved permissions; deleting the app removes everything.
2. Files and folders it can reach
The app runs in the macOS App Sandbox. It can read only the files you open yourself through the Open dialog, by drag and drop, or from the Finder, and it can write only where you choose to save or export. When an export writes several files, or when you relink images or package a document, it asks you to choose a folder, and it uses only that folder. It also reads the fonts installed on your Mac so you can set type in them. It does not browse your documents, and it never asks for access to your Photos, contacts, camera, microphone or location.
3. Printing
File › Print sends the job to the printers set up in macOS. The app is allowed to talk to the macOS printing system for that, and for nothing else.
4. What is different from the open-source app
The App Store version leaves out what would need the network or reach outside the sandbox: the links to the original project’s community chat are replaced by our support page, and the local automation channel developers can switch on from the command line cannot open a connection. The AI-agent server that ships with the original project’s command-line tool is not part of this app.
5. Links
The Help menu, the About window and the Home screen open pages on dependentmedia.com, the VectorCraft project’s page on getartcraft.com and its source on GitHub in your web browser. Nothing is sent when you open them beyond what your browser sends to any website.
6. Plug-ins
Plug-ins you install yourself run inside the app with no access to the internet or to your files.
7. Children
The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
8. Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears at this address with a new date.
