MiniComputer — Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how MiniComputer ("the App"), published via jpmtech.dev, handles your data and system permissions on iOS and iPadOS.
Summary: On-Device Desktop Environment
MiniComputer does not collect, sell, or transmit your personal data to any developer-operated server. All files, sticky notes, desktop save points, painted images, and settings are stored strictly on your device.
1. Data Stored Locally on Your Device
MiniComputer provides a self-contained desktop environment on your iPhone or iPad. The following data is stored exclusively in local on-device storage:
- Desktop State & Save Points: Window layouts, preferences, and saved desktop states.
- Local Files & Sticky Notes: Documents, notes, and drawings created inside the Files, Sticky Notes, and Paint apps.
- Photos & Videos: Media captured or viewed inside MiniComputer's Camera and Photos apps remains in your local app storage or your device's iOS Photo Library.
2. Device Permissions & Why They Are Requested
Because MiniComputer includes desktop utilities (Camera, Photos, Weather, Settings/Bluetooth), it requests iOS permissions only when you open and use those corresponding desktop apps:
| Permission | MiniComputer Sub-App | How Data Is Used |
|---|---|---|
| Camera ( NSCameraUsageDescription) |
Camera App | Used to preview and capture photos and videos inside the MiniComputer Camera window. Media stays on your device. |
| Microphone ( NSMicrophoneUsageDescription) |
Camera App | Used to record audio when recording video in the Camera app. Never recorded in the background or transmitted off-device. |
| Photo Library (Read & Add) ( NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription) |
Photos & Camera Apps | Lets you browse your iPhone photo library inside the desktop Photos viewer and save new photos/drawings to your library. |
| Location When In Use ( NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription) |
Weather App | Used strictly while the Weather app is open to fetch local weather conditions and forecasts for your coordinates. Your location is never stored or tracked by us. |
| Bluetooth ( NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription) |
Settings & Peripheral Manager | Used to scan for and connect to nearby Bluetooth peripherals, mice, keyboards, and accessories. |
3. Network Requests (Browser, Weather & Translate)
- Built-In Browser: When you navigate to websites using the MiniComputer Browser app, standard web requests are made directly from your device to the websites you visit. We do not log or proxy your browsing history.
- Weather & Translate Utilities: When you use the Weather or Translate desktop apps, direct API requests are made only to fulfill the weather forecast or text translation on your screen.
4. Analytics, Ads & Third-Party Tracking
MiniComputer contains no third-party advertising SDKs, no behavioral analytics trackers, and no user profiling.
5. Support & Mailing List Communications
If you email us for support or subscribe to our mailing list at jpmtech.dev@gmail.com, your email address is used solely to respond to your inquiry or send the app update notifications you requested.
