StillFrame - Idle Picture Screensaver Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 10, 2026

Publisher: JamesonB Designs

Privacy contact: Info@JamesonBDesigns.com

This policy explains how StillFrame - Idle Picture Screensaver (called Stillframe below) handles information when you use its Windows picture screensaver. It covers the app's current functionality, including the standalone preview installer.

Information handled on your device

Stillframe works locally and does not require an account or an internet connection. The app does not send your pictures, settings, or activity information to the publisher or to third parties. It contains no advertising, tracking tools, analytics services, or automatic crash-reporting service.

Stillframe uses the following information to provide its features:

Pictures you choose. The app reads the image you select, creates a local copy for display, and leaves the original file unchanged. Pictures may contain personal information, depending on their content. The app does not upload them or analyze them to identify people.
Display preferences. The app stores the local image filename, fit mode, monitor-spanning preference, rotation, zoom, picture position, idle delay, and whether automatic idle activation is enabled. These settings allow the app to restore your chosen view when you open it again.
Input and idle status. The app asks Windows when the most recent input occurred so it can detect inactivity and dismiss the automatic screensaver. In manual mode, it responds to mouse and keyboard events to operate the controls, zoom, position the picture, and close the display. It does not record typed text, keystroke logs, or a history of mouse activity.
Display and session status. The app reads monitor dimensions and positions to place the picture correctly. It responds to changes such as monitor connections, screen locking, and sleep or resume. This information is used on the device and is not sent to the publisher.

Storage and retention

Stillframe stores its settings in a local JSON file and keeps picture copies in its Windows user-data folder. For the standalone version, this is normally %LOCALAPPDATA%\Stillframe. Windows may use a package-specific user-data location for Store installations.

The app retains a previous settings backup, and previously selected picture copies may remain after you choose a different picture. These files remain until you remove them or Windows removes the app's data. The standalone uninstaller preserves your personal pictures and settings.

The standalone installer also creates installation files, a Start menu shortcut, and a Windows uninstall entry. These support installation and removal of the app and are not transmitted to the publisher.

Your choices and deletion

You can change the picture, display preferences, and idle delay, or disable automatic idle activation, using the app's controls. Exiting Stillframe stops its idle detection.

To remove saved pictures and preferences:

Right-click Stillframe's tray icon and choose Open local settings folder.
Exit Stillframe from its tray menu.
Delete the Stillframe data folder or the files in it.

Deleting these local copies does not delete your original pictures. If you launch the app after removing all its saved data, it recreates the default settings and bundled background. Copies retained separately by backup or synchronization software must be managed through that software.

Security

Stillframe relies on Windows user-account permissions to protect its local files. It does not add its own encryption to saved settings or picture copies. Anyone with access to your Windows account or appropriate permissions on your computer may be able to access those files. A picture displayed on a monitor can also be seen by people nearby. Stillframe is a picture display, not a security lock.

Microsoft and other services

Windows, Microsoft Store, and any backup or synchronization services you use operate under their own privacy policies and settings. Their handling of installation, purchases, diagnostics, or backed-up files is separate from Stillframe's local operation. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement for Microsoft's practices.

Contacting the publisher

If you contact Info@JamesonBDesigns.com, the publisher will receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message, and use it to respond to your request. Avoid sending pictures or other personal information that is unnecessary for your question. This correspondence is separate from the app; Stillframe does not send support messages automatically.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes to Stillframe or its privacy practices. The revised policy will show an updated effective date. Any future feature that handles information differently should be reflected in the policy before that feature is released.
