概述
EquaClip(以下簡稱「本應用程式」)是一款執行於你個人 Mac 電腦上的工具程式。我們非常重視你的隱私,並以「最小資料原則」設計本應用程式——我們不運營任何伺服器,不收集、不儲存、不傳輸任何個人資料。
本政策說明本應用程式如何運作,以及你的資料在何處流動。
EquaClip is a utility application that runs entirely on your personal Mac. We take your privacy seriously and designed this app on a "minimal data" principle — we operate no servers and collect, store, or transmit no personal data whatsoever.
This policy explains how the app works and where your data goes.
我們收集哪些資料
我們不收集任何個人資料。
本應用程式不會:
- 追蹤你的使用行為或統計資料
- 收集裝置識別碼、IP 位址或位置資訊
- 上傳截圖至我們的伺服器(因為我們沒有伺服器)
- 建立使用者帳號或個人檔案
本地儲存的資料
以下資料儲存在你的裝置本地,僅供本應用程式使用:
- Gemini API Key:加密儲存於 macOS Keychain,不會離開你的裝置
- 應用程式偏好設定:快捷鍵設定等,儲存於本機 UserDefaults
We collect no personal data.
The app does not:
- Track your usage behavior or analytics
- Collect device identifiers, IP addresses, or location
- Upload screenshots to our servers (we have none)
- Create user accounts or profiles
Data stored locally
The following data is stored only on your device for the app's use:
- Gemini API Key: Encrypted in macOS Keychain and never leaves your device
- App preferences: Shortcut settings, etc., stored in local UserDefaults
第三方服務:Google Gemini API
當你使用 EquaClip 辨識公式時,截圖圖像會直接從你的裝置傳送至 Google Gemini API 進行辨識。這是唯一的外部資料傳輸。
請注意:
- 傳送的內容僅包含截圖圖像,不含任何個人識別資訊
- API Key 透過 HTTPS request header(
x-goog-api-key)傳輸,不會出現在 URL 中,降低 Key 外洩風險 - 截圖以隨機檔名暫存,辨識流程結束後自動刪除,不永久保留
- Google 對此資料的處理方式依循其自身的隱私權政策
- 你可前往 Google 隱私權政策 查閱詳情
- API Key 由你自行申請並管理,EquaClip 不持有或存取你的 Google 帳號
When you use EquaClip to recognize a formula, the screenshot is sent directly from your device to the Google Gemini API. This is the only external data transfer.
Please note:
- Only the screenshot image is transmitted — no personal identifiers
- Your API Key is sent via an HTTPS request header (
x-goog-api-key), never in the URL, reducing exposure in logs or proxies - Screenshots are saved with a random filename and automatically deleted after recognition — never stored permanently
- Google's handling of this data is governed by their own privacy policy
- See Google's Privacy Policy for details
- The API Key is managed entirely by you; EquaClip does not access your Google account
系統權限說明
EquaClip 需要以下 macOS 系統權限才能正常運作。你可以在 App 設定頁查看每項權限的目前狀態,並直接跳轉到系統設定調整。
| 權限 | 用途 | 是否傳送至外部 |
|---|---|---|
| 輔助使用 | 監聽全域快捷鍵(⌘⇧L),讓你在任何 App 中都能觸發截圖 | 否 |
| 螢幕錄製 | 截取你框選區域的螢幕畫面,用於公式辨識。截圖以隨機檔名暫存,辨識後立即刪除 | 截圖傳送至 Google Gemini API |
| 通知 | 辨識完成時顯示通知(可在設定中關閉通知內的 LaTeX 預覽) | 否 |
你可以隨時在「系統設定 → 隱私權與安全性」中撤銷上述權限,或直接從 EquaClip 設定頁跳轉前往。
EquaClip requires the following macOS system permissions to function. You can view the current status of each permission on the Settings page and jump directly to System Settings to adjust them.
| Permission | Purpose | Data sent externally? |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | Listens for the global shortcut (⌘⇧L) so you can trigger capture from any app | No |
| Screen Recording | Captures the screen region you select for formula recognition. Saved with a random filename and deleted immediately after recognition | Screenshot sent to Google Gemini API |
| Notifications | Shows a notification when recognition is complete (LaTeX preview in notifications can be disabled in Settings) | No |
You can revoke these permissions at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security, or jump there directly from EquaClip's Settings page.
安全性設計
x-goog-api-key 傳遞,不會出現在 URL query string 中。這能有效降低 Key 被記錄在 proxy log、瀏覽器歷史、診斷資訊或錯誤訊息中的風險。
x-goog-api-key — never in the URL query string. This prevents the key from appearing in proxy logs, browser history, diagnostic reports, or error messages.
隱私控制設定
EquaClip 提供多項隱私相關設定,讓你自行決定資料的可見範圍:
EquaClip offers several privacy settings, giving you control over what is visible and retained:
資料安全
由於 EquaClip 不收集任何資料,也不運營任何伺服器,因此不存在資料外洩或伺服器端資料被盜的風險。
你的 Gemini API Key 使用 macOS Keychain 機制加密儲存,這是 Apple 提供的最高等級本地安全儲存方式,其他應用程式無法讀取。
Because EquaClip collects no data and operates no servers, there is no risk of a server-side data breach.
Your Gemini API Key is encrypted and stored in macOS Keychain — Apple's highest-level local secure storage, inaccessible to other applications.
政策變更
若本隱私權政策有重大變更,我們會在新版本的應用程式中告知使用者,並更新本頁面頂端的「最後更新」日期。
繼續使用本應用程式即表示你同意最新版本的隱私權政策。
If we make significant changes to this policy, we will notify users within the app and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
