LiteView Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 2026 · Version 1.0 · Applies to the LiteView desktop application, v1.0.0
Overview
LiteView ("the Application") is a desktop image viewer. This policy explains exactly what data the Application handles, where it lives, and what happens to it.
What data is processed
LiteView processes only what it needs to display the images you open:
- Image files — the files and folders you explicitly open are read from disk to display them. LiteView does not scan your filesystem beyond what you point it at.
- Last opened folder — the path of the last folder you viewed is saved locally so LiteView can offer to reopen it next time you launch the app.
LiteView does not collect your name, account information, usage analytics, or any data about you as a person.
Where data is stored
The "last opened folder" path is stored in a local file next to the application binary, using Neutralinojs's local storage API. It stays on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.
What LiteView accesses, and why
| Capability | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Filesystem | Read the image files and folders you open, and list a folder's contents to build the filmstrip/grid. |
| Local storage | Remember the last folder you opened. |
| OS dialogs & shell | Show native file/folder pickers, and an optional "Show in Explorer/Finder" action for the currently viewed file. |
| Window | Fullscreen and window sizing. |
| Network | Not used. LiteView has no network permission configured and makes no network requests — it works entirely offline. |
Third parties and analytics
LiteView does not use analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, advertising, or any third-party service. All image decoding happens locally through your operating system's own web rendering engine (WebView2, WebKitGTK, or WKWebView).
Authentication and payments
LiteView has no accounts, sign-in, or payment functionality. It is free and open source.
Data retention and deletion
The only data LiteView stores — the last opened folder path — is overwritten each time you open a new folder. Uninstalling LiteView removes this stored data along with the application itself.
Your rights
Because all data stays on your device and Ziduri never receives or stores it, there is no remote copy of your data for us to access, export, or delete — it lives entirely on your machine, under your control.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of LiteView changes what it stores or accesses — for example, adding an optional update checker — this policy will be updated first, and the version and effective date above will change accordingly.
