The app collects nothing. The website counts visits.

the app

QGN does not collect, store or send any personal data. There is no account, no cloud storage, no analytics, no crash reporter and no advertising code. Your captures never leave your computer unless you paste or send them somewhere yourself.

• Captures go to your clipboard. If you turn on auto-save, they are also written to a folder you choose (Pictures\qgn by default).
• Pinned cards and recent capturesare kept in the app's data folder on your machine, so they survive a restart. Switching recent captures off deletes what is stored.
• Settings are a local file. Not synced, not backed up anywhere.

The app makes one kind of network request: it asks GitHub's public releases for a newer version, every four hours and shortly after your computer wakes. If there is one, it downloads it from GitHub. GitHub sees that request like any web request (your IP address, for one). It contains nothing about you or your captures. GitHub's own privacy statement covers what they do with it.

You don't have to trust this page. The app is open source under the MIT license, and every line is at github.com/Mopra/qgn.app.

this website

qgn.app uses Google Analytics 4 to see how many people visit, which pages they land on, and where they came from. Google collects things like pages viewed, the referring site, rough location, device and browser, and sets cookies to do it.

On top of page views the site sends one event of its own: download, when you click a link to the installer or a release on GitHub. It records which link and which page you were on. That is how I find out which pages lead to people actually trying QGN.

The capture demo at the top of the home page runs entirely in your browser. The image it makes goes to your clipboard and nowhere else.

To opt out, use an ad or tracker blocker, or Google's opt-out add-on. The site works the same either way. Google's use of the data is covered by Google's privacy policy.

children

The app collects no data from anyone, children included.
