Vistaro Privacy Policy
Effective date: 24 September 2026 · AuraBridge Systems · aurabridgesystems.in
Vistaro is a paid Mac App Store app for local visual folder comparison and media viewing. Files stay on your Mac. No account is required for core use. This policy describes what data is (and is not) collected when you use the Vistaro app.
Summary
- We do not collect personal data from the Vistaro app itself.
- Images, videos, audio, and folders stay on your Mac. We do not upload your media to our servers.
- No account is required for core comparison or viewing.
- Purchase and free updates are handled by the Apple App Store.
- Apple may process payment and account details under Apple’s own privacy policy.
Data we collect
From the Vistaro application: none. Vistaro does not include analytics SDKs, advertising identifiers, account login, or remote telemetry.
Via the App Store (Apple): if you purchase Vistaro or download updates, Apple processes transaction and device information needed to sell, deliver, and improve App Store products. We may receive anonymized or aggregated sales and crash information from Apple App Store Connect solely to improve the app (for example, crash logs you opt in to share with developers through Apple).
Local files and media
Media you open or compare with Vistaro remains on your device. Vistaro does not transmit your image, video, or audio files to AuraBridge Systems. Comparison, optional on-device text analysis, and report export operate on files you choose. If you export, share, or open files with other apps, those actions are under your control and may be governed by those other apps or services. If a folder is already synced by iCloud Drive or another provider, that provider's own sync settings still apply.
Data stored only on your device
Vistaro may store local preferences on your Mac (for example last opened folder bookmarks, autoplay interval, video playback speed, starred file paths, Library recents, and comparison review decisions). This data remains in local app preferences or your user Application Support folder and is not transmitted by Vistaro to AuraBridge Systems.
Analytics and third parties
The Vistaro app itself does not embed third-party analytics or advertising networks. Distribution, payment, and optional crash reporting flow through Apple. Review Apple’s privacy policy for App Store processing.
Permissions
Vistaro accesses media folders and files that you select for viewing or comparison (Open dialog or Open With from Finder). It does not require microphone, camera, contacts, location, or full disk access.
Payments and updates
Vistaro is offered as a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store with free updates through Apple. We do not process credit cards ourselves. All billing is between you and Apple.
Children
Vistaro does not target children under 13 and does not knowingly collect children’s data.
Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date above will change when we do. Continued use of Vistaro after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
