Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 November 2026

The short version

• The Gifable 3.0 Mac app collects no data. It has no analytics, no crash reporting and no network access.
• Your recordings stay on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.
• This website (gifableapp.com) uses Google Analytics to count visits. Details are below.

The Gifable app

No data collection. Gifable 3.0 doesn’t collect, store or share any personal information or usage data. It contains no analytics, advertising or tracking tools, no crash reporting and no accounts.

No network access. Gifable 3.0 doesn’t connect to the internet.

Recordings stay on your Mac. Gifable saves your GIFs and MP4s to the folder you choose (~/Pictures/Gifable unless you change it in Settings). It also keeps working copies of your most recent recordings in its own storage on your Mac so you can trim them. None of this ever leaves your Mac.

Nothing is uploaded. Gifable never uploads your recordings or anything else. A recording only leaves your Mac when you share it yourself, for example by pasting or dragging a GIF into another app.

Screen access. Gifable doesn’t ask for the Screen Recording permission. It uses Apple’s screen-sharing picker, so it can only see the display or window you choose there, and it only captures your screen while a recording is in progress.

Apple

Gifable is sold through the Mac App Store, so Apple handles purchases and downloads under Apple’s privacy policy. We only receive anonymous, aggregated sales and download reports.

If you’ve turned on Share with app developers in macOS (System Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements), Apple may share crash reports and usage statistics about Gifable with us. Apple controls this, not Gifable, and you can turn it off there at any time.

Future versions

A future version of Gifable may add optional, anonymous crash reporting and usage analytics to help us fix bugs and improve the app, with a setting to turn them off. We’ll update this policy before any version that does so is released.

This website

gifableapp.com uses Google Analytics (Google Analytics 4, loaded directly and through Google Tag Manager) so we can see how many people visit and which pages they read. Google Analytics uses cookies (_ga and _ga_*) and collects:

• the pages you visit and how you got here, such as the website or search that linked you;
• your device type, browser, operating system, screen size and language;
• your approximate location (country and city), worked out from your IP address. Google Analytics 4 doesn’t store IP addresses;
• how you use the page, such as scrolling, clicks on links and how long you stay.

We see this information only as reports and don’t use it to identify you. Google processes it under its own privacy policy: see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. To stop Google Analytics, block it with your browser’s privacy settings or a content blocker, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Pages on this site also load fonts from Google Fonts, and the home page embeds a timeline from X (formerly Twitter). When your browser loads them, those services receive your IP address and browser details under their own privacy policies.

Changes to this policy

If anything changes, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
