Privacy policy

-

Last updated 5 November 2026

- -

- mac4DSTEM and macTEM collect no personal data. Both applications perform all analysis on - your own machine, have no user accounts, and send nothing to me. macTEM makes no network - connection at all; mac4DSTEM's one network request is a Materials Project fetch that you - start yourself. -

- -

Both applications

- -

- mac4DSTEM and macTEM are local desktop applications. Neither contains analytics, telemetry, - advertising, crash reporting, or any other component that transmits information about you - or your work. -

- - - -

- Both applications run inside the macOS App Sandbox. They receive access to a file only when - you select it in a system Open or Save panel. Where one needs to reopen a file you chose - earlier — for example to update the session file saved next to your data — macOS stores a - security-scoped bookmark for that specific file on your machine. Those bookmarks stay local - and can be removed by deleting the application's container. -

This website

- -

- The site is a static page. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and - embeds no third-party fonts, scripts, or trackers. Nothing you do here is profiled or - recorded by me. -

- -

- The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, with DNS provided by - Cloudflare. As a technical necessity of delivering any web page, the - hosting provider processes your IP address and request metadata in server logs for - security and operation. I have no access to those logs and cannot connect them to you. - See the - GitHub Privacy Statement - and the - Cloudflare Privacy Policy. -

- -

- The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — the legitimate interest in - presenting a functioning, secure website. -

- -

If you email me

- -

- Writing to mail@mac4dstem.com means - your address and the content of your message are processed so that I can reply. The legal - basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your message concerns the application, and otherwise - Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. -

- -

- Correspondence is kept only as long as needed to deal with the matter and to meet any - retention obligation that applies, then deleted. Your address is not added to any mailing - list and is not passed to third parties. -

- -

Your rights

- -

- Under the GDPR you have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or - erased, to have its processing restricted, to object to processing, and to receive it in a - portable form. To exercise any of these, write to the address below. -

+

Privacy

- You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, - in particular in the member state of your residence, workplace, or the place of the - alleged infringement. + mac4DSTEM and macTEM collect no data. Everything runs on your Mac. There are no accounts, + no analytics, and nothing is sent to me. The one exception is the Materials Project lookup + in mac4DSTEM, which you start yourself and which sends your own API key and the material ID + to materialsproject.org.

-

Changes

-

- If this policy changes, the revised version is published here with a new date at the top. - Material changes affecting an application will accompany a release of it. + This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which + keeps the usual server logs + (GitHub privacy statement). + If you e-mail me, I keep your message only to reply. Under the GDPR you can ask me to + access, correct or delete your data at any time.

Support

-

Last updated 28 October 2026

-

- Questions, bug reports, and feature requests for mac4DSTEM and - macTEM all go to one address. I read everything. +

+ Questions, bug reports and feature requests for mac4DSTEM and macTEM: e-mail me, or open + an issue on GitHub for + mac4DSTEM or + macTEM.

mail@mac4dstem.com
-

- Both applications are developed by one person alongside other work, so replies are not - instant — but every report is looked at. There is no support contract and no charge; the - applications are free. Reports can also be opened as issues on GitHub: - mac4DSTEM, - macTEM. -

- -

Requirements

- - - -

What each application opens

- - - -

Reporting a problem

- -

- A report is most useful when it lets me reproduce what you saw. Where you can, include: -

- - - -

- Please do not send datasets as email attachments. If reproducing an issue needs the data, - say so and we can arrange a transfer. -

- -

Known limitations

- - - -

Results and interoperability

- -

- mac4DSTEM exports Bragg vectors, calibrated datacubes, and preprocessed products to - EMD, readable directly in - py4DSTEM. macTEM exports its - measurements as CSV, spectra as MSA, and images as PNG with a scale bar. If you need a result - in a format that is not currently offered, that is a reasonable thing to ask for. -

- -

Citing the methods

- -

- The numerics are ported from the Python packages the field already uses and validated - against them; the kits page names each one. Work - published using mac4DSTEM should cite py4DSTEM for the underlying methods; work using macTEM - should cite the package behind the method used, for example HyperSpy and exSpy for - spectroscopy. -

- -

Licence

- -

- Both applications are released under the - GNU General Public License v3.0. - They are free software, provided without warranty of any kind. -
