MAVEA BRAILLE · Windows
Privacy
Applies to Windows release 0.8.1 and website purchases. Updated 20 October 2026.
Local document processing
MAVEA BRAILLE processes documents and translates braille on your computer. It does not send documents to MAVEA for translation. The app itself has no user account, payment feature, advertising, analytics or automatic crash-report submission.
Storage and printing
Documents are saved where you choose. Recovery copies and settings may be stored under your account's LocalAppData folder. They are not automatically deleted on uninstall. Import and conversion can create temporary files.
Embossing sends your document's braille data to the selected Windows printer queue. This may be local or networked. Windows and the printer manage subsequent queue storage. If you choose OneDrive, a network folder or another cloud service for your files, that service's data practices also apply.
Optional external software
Some import and recognition functions can use locally installed Word, LibreOffice or Audiveris. File contents are then passed to the selected local program. External programs and printer drivers have their own privacy policies.
Website and downloads
mavea.no is hosted on GitHub Pages. Installers and source code are downloaded from GitHub Releases. GitHub may process technical visitor information, including IP addresses, to deliver and secure its services. See GitHub's privacy statement. MAVEA does not add analytics or advertising trackers to these product pages.
Purchases and payment
MAVEA AS is the controller for information we use to deliver purchases, provide help and meet accounting requirements. Stripe processes payment. We receive necessary contact and order details, amounts, payment status and limited payment details, but not your full card number. We rely on the contract for delivery and follow-up, and legal obligations for accounting records. Accounting records are retained for the legally required period. Other purchase information is deleted when no longer needed for delivery, support or legal claims.
Stripe also processes information for security, fraud prevention and its own legal obligations. Processing may occur outside the EEA using the transfer safeguards described by Stripe. See Stripe’s privacy policy. Checkout uses its own necessary cookies. We do not use purchase information for marketing without a separate legal basis.
