Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 May 2026

Apple II ASCII Art is a fully offline desktop application. It does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data.

What the app does

The app converts images you choose into Apple II–style ASCII art entirely on your own Mac. All image processing happens locally in memory; nothing is uploaded to any server.

Data we collect

None. The app:

Does not collect personal information.
Does not require an account, sign-in, or registration.
Does not contain analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs.
Does not make any network connections.

File access

The app reads image files you explicitly open or drag into the window, and writes export files (text or Applesoft BASIC) only to locations you choose via the standard macOS Save dialog. The app is sandboxed and only has access to files you select.

Crash reports & diagnostics

If you choose to share crash reports with Apple via macOS’s built-in mechanism, those go directly to Apple under Apple’s privacy policy. The app itself does not transmit any diagnostics.

Third-party content

The app bundles the PrintChar21 and PRNumber3 fonts from Kreative Korporation. These are embedded font files only — no network calls or tracking are involved.

Website analytics

This website (portwally.github.io) uses GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly visitor counter that does not use cookies and does not track personal information. No data is shared with third-party advertisers.

Children’s privacy

The app does not collect any data, so it does not knowingly collect data from children. It is suitable for general audiences.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in the future, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
