Privacy Policy

# Last updated: 2026-05-11

The short version

MediaPorter does not collect personal data. No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports, no "anonymous usage statistics," no account, no sign-in.

What the app talks to

• Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, over a USB cable or local Wi-Fi link. The app uses the same Apple Mobile Device tunnel that iTunes / Finder used. Communication is between your Mac and your device only.
• The Movie Database (TMDb), over HTTPS, to look up titles, posters, season/episode information for the media you choose to port. TMDb requests carry the query text and nothing that identifies you. We do not send your IP, device ID, or any stable identifier alongside these requests.

What stays on your Mac

• Your media library and any files you drop onto MediaPorter.
• Cached posters, probe results, and metadata used to render the app's UI.
• App preferences (window size, last-used settings, recent device).

None of the above ever leaves your machine.

App Store privacy labels

Children

MediaPorter is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.

Changes

We will update this page if the app's behavior ever changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
