Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 23, 2026

Overview

PhotoPusher is a macOS desktop application developed by Armchair Caesars (Mark Huthmaker). This policy describes how PhotoPusher handles your data.

Data We Collect

PhotoPusher does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to Armchair Caesars or any third party. All processing happens locally on your Mac.

Google Account Access

PhotoPusher uses Google OAuth 2.0 to authenticate with your Google account. When you sign in, the app requests the following permission:

PhotoPusher only uploads files you explicitly select. It does not read, download, modify, or delete any existing content in your Google Photos library.

Authentication Tokens

Your Google OAuth token is stored locally on your Mac in the Application Support directory with restricted file permissions (readable only by your user account). The token is never transmitted to any server other than Google's authentication services. No passwords are stored by PhotoPusher.

File Access

PhotoPusher accesses files on your Mac only when you explicitly add them for upload. Files may be temporarily converted to compatible formats (e.g., RAW to HEIC, ProRes to MP4) in a local temporary directory. These temporary files are deleted after upload completes.

Network Communication

PhotoPusher communicates only with Google's servers for the following purposes:

No data is sent to any other server. There is no analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or advertising.

Third-Party Services

The only third-party service PhotoPusher interacts with is the Google Photos API, governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

PhotoPusher maintains a local record of which files have been uploaded to avoid duplicate uploads. This data is stored on your Mac and can be cleared at any time from within the app. No upload history is transmitted externally.

Children's Privacy

PhotoPusher is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
