Your documents never leave your Mac.

Written plainly, because a privacy page you need a lawyer for isn't one.

What runs on your Mac

Everything. Text recognition, classification, field extraction and search all use Apple's on-device frameworks — the Vision framework and Foundation Models on the Neural Engine. There is no Nilad server. There couldn't be a data breach of your documents at our end, because nothing of yours is at our end.

What is stored, and where

Your library is a single package on your Mac containing the original files and what Nilad read from them. It doesn't sync anywhere. If optional iCloud syncing arrives in a future version, it will go through your own iCloud account under Apple's terms — never a Nilad server, because there isn't one.

What touches the network

Nothing, from the app itself. Purchases and subscriptions go through the App Store — that's between your Apple account and Apple. The app has no analytics, no crash reporter that phones home, no accounts and no email list. The app's Settings include a network log; the honest expectation is that it stays empty.

How to leave

Settings → Library → Export everything. You get every document as a searchable PDF plus a CSV of everything Nilad read, whether or not you're paying. Then delete the app. Done.
