Privacy Policy & Security Standards
ApexEdit is engineered around complete local data sovereignty: your text and files never leave your computer.
Core Philosophy: Zero Telemetry & Local Operation
At CAMMIO Industries, we believe a text editor should serve you quietly without monitoring your creative work or writing habits. ApexEdit operates as a pure native macOS desktop application with zero network dependencies.
ApexEdit does not collect, record, transmit, or monetize your documents, source code, keystrokes, notes, or usage patterns.
ApexEdit contains zero analytics frameworks, zero user profiling SDKs, and zero background network pings. The app functions completely without an internet connection.
File Access & Apple App Sandbox Compliance
ApexEdit runs strictly inside the macOS App Sandbox environment enforced by Apple operating systems:
- User-Initiated Access: ApexEdit can only open, read, or write to files and folders that you explicitly choose to open using standard macOS Open/Save panels or by dragging and dropping them into the application window.
- No System-Wide File Scanning: The app possesses no permission to scan your hard drive, personal documents, photo libraries, or other private folders.
- Direct Local Disk Storage: When you save a file, it is written directly to your local file system using native APFS / macOS file system protocols without third-party intermediary servers.
Local Settings, Themes & State Persistence
To deliver a personalized experience across launches, ApexEdit retains your UI preferences locally:
- User Preferences: Font selections, line height, tab size, active themes, and custom color slot choices are persisted locally in standard macOS
UserDefaultsstorage. - Crash Recovery & Open Sessions: Transient document states and untitled workspace recovery buffers are stored inside your local sandboxed application container (
~/Library/Containers/com.camo.ApexEdit/) to guarantee you never lose work during unexpected restarts. - No Remote Account Sync: ApexEdit does not require an account, username, or cloud profile. All configuration stays on your hardware.
Website Support & Communications
When you contact us via the support form on this website:
- Voluntary Submissions: We collect only the contact information you provide (such as your name and email address) and the contents of your message.

- Zero Data Selling: We will never sell, rent, or share your contact details with advertisers or data brokers under any circumstances.
Regulatory Framework Compliance
Because ApexEdit processes data strictly on your device and collects no personal data, it inherently meets the highest standards of international privacy legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
