CatalogPort Privacy Policy

Effective date: 22 October 2026

Who is responsible

CatalogPort is made by i4x Studio, a business registered in Poland (CEIDG), NIP 1182004411. Contact: support@i4xstudio.com.

Summary

CatalogPort works on your Mac. It reads your Lightroom Classic catalog and copies the photos you choose to a folder or to Apple Photos. i4x Studio receives none of your photos, catalog data, or usage information. The app contains no analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting code.

What the app accesses on your Mac

• Your Lightroom Classic catalog and the folders you choose. CatalogPort reads the catalog you open and writes rendered photos only to destinations you select. macOS App Sandbox rules limit it to files and folders you pick; it keeps bookmarks so it can reopen them next time.
• Lightroom's Modules folder. The Creative Cloud desktop app installs CatalogPort's free Lightroom plug-in there; Lightroom Classic uses the plug-in to render the photos. You select this folder once so CatalogPort may write the small file through which it passes sync jobs to the plug-in. CatalogPort never downloads plug-in code.
• Your Photos library, only if you choose Apple Photos as a destination. CatalogPort uses this access to add, update, and remove the Lightroom renders you choose. macOS asks for your permission first, and you can withdraw it in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos.
• Your Downloads folder, read-only.

CatalogPort keeps a local record of what it has synced so later syncs send only what changed. This record is a database in the app's Application Support folder; it, the app's settings, and its bookmarks stay inside the app's container on your Mac.

Network

CatalogPort makes no network connections. It does not send your data to i4x Studio or to any other service.

Apple Photos and iCloud

If iCloud Photos is turned on, photos that CatalogPort adds to your Photos library are handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy, as with any photo you add.

Deleting your data

Delete synced files in Finder or in Photos like any other file or photo. Deleting CatalogPort and its folder in ~/Library/Containers removes its sync record, settings, and bookmarks. To remove the Lightroom plug-in, uninstall it in the Creative Cloud desktop app, then restart Lightroom Classic. Removing the plug-in doesn't change your catalog or your photos.

Your rights

i4x Studio holds no personal data from the app. If you email us, the website privacy policy at https://i4xstudio.com/privacy/ applies to your message, including your rights and how to complain to the supervisory authority.

Changes

We will post any change to this policy on this page and update the effective date.
