We (the Auto Dark Mode Team) don't collect any data about our users. This app does not use telemetry, all settings are saved offline and log files are only stored on the personal computer.
Some features of this app use third party services which may collect data. By using Auto Dark Mode, you thus also agree to these services' privacy policies.
On our end, the collected data is only processed locally for sunrise/sunset calculation and does not leave the machine, nor is it used for analytics.
If you choose to automatically determine your sun times via "From sunset to sunrise", we use the location data service from Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Windows may collect some location data.
Because of this, the Microsoft data privacy policy applies:
On our end, we don't collect any data related to updates from our users. Everything is processed on the machine and will never be transmitted via the internet.
To check for app updates, we connect to the GitHub server hosting our repository. The app retrieves metadata files that contain information about the newest version. Additionally, the updater can then download new versions from the GitHub server.
GitHub may collect some personal data while communicating with its servers. Because of this, the GitHub data privacy policy applies:
- Picture folder (for choosing a wallpaper that is saved locally)
- File System (for choosing a Windows Theme that is saved locally)
- Location service (for calculating sun times)
- Internet connection (for update checking)
- Running processes (if the theme switch should be paused while certain apps are running)
- Ambient light Sensor (if Ambient Light Sensor switching is enabled)
- Accent colors
Auto Dark Mode may change our Privacy Statement from time to time.
