Privacy policy

bitPix Live is an iOS app, and bitPix Live Agent is a macOS app, both made by bitPix Digital ("we", "us"). Together they show the live frame count of a tethered Capture One session on your phone. This policy covers both.

We do not collect any data from you. Neither app has an account, a server, an analytics library or a crash reporter. Nothing you do in either app is sent to us or to anyone else.

What the apps store, and where

On your iPhone or iPad (bitPix Live)

The jobs you create — name, client, photographer, dates, planned shot count, finish time and alert thresholds.
The shot log the Mac sends: folder names, frame counts, timings, and small thumbnail and preview images of the shots.
Images you pull from Capture One with the Pull Image button.
The pairing code and identity of the Mac you last connected to, so the app can reconnect automatically.

All of this stays on the device, in the app's own storage. It is included in your device backup if you back up your device. Deleting the app deletes it.

On your Mac (bitPix Live Agent)

An event log of completed shots, kept in ~/Library/Application Support/bitPixBinder/, so a phone that reconnects can replay what it missed.
Its own preferences.

The agent reads the Capture One session and the capture folder. It never writes to, moves, renames or deletes any file in your session or capture folder.

Network

The two apps talk to each other directly over your local network. The phone finds the Mac with Bonjour and connects with a TLS connection secured by the pairing code shown on the Mac. Nothing is routed through the internet and neither app contacts any server of ours. A network with no internet connection works.

If you connect using a manual address (for example over Tailscale), the traffic goes over whatever network path you configured; we are not part of it.

Permissions the apps ask for

Local Network (iOS and macOS): to find and talk to the Mac. Without it the phone cannot discover the agent.
Camera (iOS): only to scan the pairing QR code shown by the Mac. No photo or video is captured or stored.
Notifications (iOS): for optional low-camera-battery warnings. Off by default.
Automation (macOS): so the agent can ask Capture One which folder is the capture folder.
Files and Folders / removable volumes (macOS): so the agent can count the frames in the capture folder, wherever Capture One put it.

Sharing

If you use the share sheet to send an image or a contact sheet PDF, it goes to whatever app or person you choose. That is under your control and outside these apps.

Children

bitPix Live is a professional tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
