Privacy Policy
Last updated:
In short
- The app has no accounts and no sign-up. We don't ask for your name, email, or any personal profile.
- Your CI provider access tokens and API keys stay on your Mac (macOS Keychain) and are used only to talk to your own GitLab, GitHub, or Xcode Cloud (App Store Connect) account. We never receive your credentials or pipeline data.
- We don't sell your data, show ads, or build advertising profiles.
- The site uses cookies and analytics for aggregate usage. Purchases are handled by Apple and managed through Adapty.
This Privacy Policy explains how Altessa Solutions Inc. ("Altessa", "we", "us") handles information in connection with the Manifold macOS app (the "App") and the Manifold website (the "Site"). By using the App or the Site, you agree to this Policy.
The Manifold app
No account, no personal data collected by us
The App does not require registration and does not collect information that identifies you personally.
Access tokens and API keys
To show your pipelines, the App uses credentials that you provide: a personal access token for GitLab or GitHub, or an App Store Connect API key (Key ID, Issuer ID, and private key) for Xcode Cloud. They are stored securely in the macOS Keychain on your device and are sent only to the CI provider you configured. We do not transmit, receive, or store your tokens or keys on our servers.
Your CI provider data stays on your device
Pipeline, project, and job information is fetched directly from your CI provider to your Mac and displayed locally. It is not routed through, or stored on, any Altessa server. There is no Manifold backend between you and your CI provider.
Notifications
Pipeline notifications shown by the App are generated locally on your device.
Subscriptions and purchases
Manifold Pro is an auto-renewable subscription sold through the Apple App Store. Payments and billing are handled by Apple; we do not receive your payment card or billing details.
We use Adapty to manage and validate subscriptions and to measure subscription performance. Adapty may process purchase and subscription events and technical identifiers associated with your App installation to determine your subscription status. If we enable subscription-related push notifications through Adapty, an anonymous push token for your device may be processed to deliver those messages.
The website
Cookies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies:
- Essential cookies — required for the Site to function.
- Analytics cookies — set by our analytics provider to measure aggregate usage.
Where required by law (for example, in the EU/UK), analytics cookies are set only after you consent. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how the Site is used (for example, which pages are visited and general device/browser type). This may include limited technical data such as your approximate location derived from your IP address. We use this in aggregate to improve the Site and do not use it to identify you.
Hosting logs
Our hosting provider may process standard server logs (such as IP address and request metadata) to deliver and secure the Site.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your data.
- We do not show advertising or build advertising profiles.
- We do not access your CI provider data or tokens.
Third-party services
The following providers may process limited data as described above, under their own privacy policies:
- Apple (App Store, payments) — apple.com/legal/privacy
- Adapty (subscription management) — adapty.io/privacy
- Google Analytics (website analytics) — policies.google.com/privacy
- GitLab / GitHub — your own instance; the App connects to it using your token. Not affiliated with GitLab Inc. or GitHub, Inc.
- Xcode Cloud / App Store Connect — your own Apple Developer account; the App connects to it using your API key. Not affiliated with Apple Inc.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or CCPA/CPRA (California), including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to object to certain processing. Because we do not maintain accounts or personal profiles, the data we can associate with you directly is minimal. To exercise your rights, or for requests related to analytics or subscription data, contact us at [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Data retention
We retain analytics data only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, in line with our analytics provider's retention settings. We do not retain your CI provider tokens or pipeline data.
International users
The Site and its providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where applicable, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
Children
Manifold is a tool for software developers and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Governing Law
This Policy and any disputes arising out of or related to it are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
