## Privacy

Looq processes files locally on your Mac, with parsing, rendering, and preview generation performed entirely on-device. When a Markdown document references a remote image, Looq retrieves that image directly from the source host. Network activity associated with licensing and updates is described in the [privacy policy](/content/privacy/index.html).
