Privacy Policy
Effective June 12, 2026 · Applies to Splice PDF for macOS
The short version: Splice PDF collects nothing. Your documents are processed entirely on your Mac, the app never connects to the internet, and we have no servers, accounts, or analytics.
What we collect
Nothing. Splice PDF does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information or usage data. There is no account to create, no sign-in, and no telemetry of any kind.
Your documents stay on your Mac
Every operation — splitting, combining, reordering, rotating, deleting pages — happens locally on your computer. Your PDFs are never uploaded anywhere. Specifically:
- The app makes no network connections. It works exactly the same with Wi-Fi turned off.
- The app runs in the macOS App Sandbox, so it can only access files you explicitly open, drop into it, or choose a save location for.
- File processing is done by a copy of the open-source qpdf engine bundled inside the app — not by a cloud service.
- Your original files are never modified; the app writes new files only where you tell it to.
Analytics and third parties
Splice PDF contains no analytics frameworks, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party code that phones home. We do not use cookies or any other tracking technologies, in the app or on this website.
Purchases through the App Store
Splice PDF is sold through the Mac App Store. Your purchase is handled entirely by Apple, and Apple may provide us with aggregated, anonymized statistics (such as the number of downloads by country). We never receive your name, email address, payment details, or any other personal information from your purchase. Apple's handling of your data is described in Apple's Privacy Policy.
Children's privacy
Because we collect no data from anyone, we also collect no data from children.
Changes to this policy
If the app's behavior ever changes in a way that affects your privacy, we will update this policy and change the effective date above. Given the app's design — local-only, no network — we don't expect it to.
