Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 15, 2026

Semantic Works LLC (“Semantic Works,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with the RAW Compiler macOS software application (the “App”) and the rawcompiler.com website (the “Site”).

By installing the App or using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. Core Privacy Principles: Local Processing

The App is fundamentally designed as a local utility.

• Your Content Stays Local: The App does not collect, store, or transmit your photographs, Adobe Lightroom Classic catalog data, image editing settings, metadata, presets, selections, or local file paths.
• No Cloud Tracking: We do not track your local user workflows, prompts, source code modifications, or interaction histories with local AI clients or applications. All such processing occurs strictly on your local machine.

2. Information We Collect and How We Use It

While the App operates locally, we do collect limited information under specific circumstances to manage software licensing, provide the Site, and communicate with you.

A. Information Collected via the App (License Verification)

To protect our intellectual property and confirm your authorization to use the software, the App periodically connects to our servers to validate your license.

• What is Transmitted: This process transmits only the license file or license key provided to you at the time of purchase.
• What is NOT Transmitted: This call does not collect, log, or transmit any personal data, hardware identifiers, or contents from your computer.

B. Information You Provide Directly to Us

We collect information that you choose to send directly to us, which may include:

• Support and Communications: If you contact us for technical support, ask a question, or send an email to our legal address, we collect your name, email address, and any information or attachments you include in your message. We use this information solely to respond to your request.
• Transaction and Billing Data: When you purchase a license for the App, your payment is processed by our third-party payment processors. Semantic Works does not store your credit card numbers or full financial credentials. We receive only transaction confirmations and basic order management details (such as your name, email address, purchase amount, and generated license key).

C. Information Collected Automatically on the Site and Google Analytics

When you browse the Site, certain standard server-log information is collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and the dates and times of your visits.

We also use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), to help us understand how visitors interact with our Site.

• How it Works: Google Analytics uses cookies—small text files placed on your computer—to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

• How We Use It: We use this compiled statistical data to evaluate Site activity, analyze visitor trends, improve website usability, and optimize our marketing. We do not use Google Analytics to gather personally identifiable information.

• How to Opt Out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits by disabling cookies in your browser settings, or by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google.

3. Third-Party Services and External API Keys

The App serves as an interface that allows you to connect third-party software, local developer tools, or external AI services.

• Optional Third-Party API Keys: The App may allow you to optionally enter your own API keys or developer credentials for third-party services (such as Google Gemini, OpenAI, or other providers). These keys are stored locally on your machine.
• Direct External Connections: When you use these third-party connections, your prompts, commands, or metadata are transmitted directly from your computer to those third-party providers. Their handling of your data is governed strictly by their respective terms and privacy policies.
• Our Responsibility: Semantic Works does not operate, control, or review these external transmissions, and we are not responsible for the privacy, security, or data handling practices of any third-party services you choose to connect.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We only share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share basic transactional information with trusted third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, website hosting, or email delivery. These providers are bound by strict contractual obligations to keep your data confidential and use it only for the specific tasks we authorize.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that doing so is required to comply with applicable state, federal, or international laws, valid legal processes (such as a subpoena), or to protect the safety, rights, and property of Semantic Works, our users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: If Semantic Works is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or corporate restructuring, user information may be transferred as part of the business assets.

5. Security

We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your limited transaction records and support correspondence against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, please be aware that no transmission of data over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

Neither the App nor the Site is directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to delete that information from our records.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our software operations or evolving legal requirements. We will notify you of any material updates by posting a notice within the App interface or by updating the revised effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we safeguard your privacy.
