MDS Meta Data Scraper ("MDS", "the app") is a Windows desktop application that organises your local movie, TV, and music library. This policy explains what the app does with your data.
MDS runs on your own computer and works with the media files already on your PC. It does not collect, transmit, or sell your personal information, and it contains no advertising or analytics tracking.
- Your media folders. MDS reads the folders you choose so it can identify your movies, TV shows, and music. File names, folder names, and embedded media tags are read locally to match your titles. This information stays on your device.
- Local app data. Metadata, artwork thumbnails, and settings are stored locally on your PC (for example under your Windows user profile). Nothing is uploaded.
To fetch metadata and artwork, MDS sends only the search terms it needs (such as a movie title, show name, or album/artist name) to these public services:
- The Movie Database (TMDB) — movie and TV metadata and images. https://www.themoviedb.org/privacy-policy
- MusicBrainz — music release metadata. https://metabrainz.org/privacy
- Cover Art Archive — album cover images. https://coverartarchive.org/
These requests do not include your name, account, or any personal identifier — just the title being looked up.
If you purchase and activate PRO features, the app sends your license key to the licensing provider (Payhip) to verify it. No other personal data is sent for this purpose. See https://payhip.com/privacy for Payhip's policy.
MDS does not share or sell your data to anyone. There is no advertising and no usage tracking.
MDS is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date.
