This Privacy Policy describes how DesktopSnap , developed by Liu Houliang, handles information. Your privacy is our top priority.
1. No Data Collection
The App is designed as a standalone local desktop tool.
Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or any identifiers.
Usage Data: We do not track how you use the App. There are no telemetry or analytics services integrated.
Content Data: The App does not have access to your files, photos, or any on-screen content beyond the necessary window management for its core functions.
2. Technical Permissions (runFullTrust)
As a WinUI 3 desktop application, DesktopSnap requires the runFullTrust capability to interact with the Windows OS. This is used exclusively for the following local functions:
Desktop Icon Management: Interacting with the Explorer.exe process via Win32 APIs to save and restore the positions of your desktop icons.
Global Hotkeys: Registering system-wide shortcuts so you can restore layouts instantly from any app.
Auto-Start: Allow the app to protect your layout upon system boot.
Display & DPI Awareness: Calling system APIs to detect multi-monitor setups and ensure icon positions are accurate across different resolutions.
3. Offline Operation
DesktopSnap operates entirely offline. It does not contain any code for network communication, meaning it is physically impossible for the App to send any data to external servers.
