This Privacy Policy explains how we handle user information within the DuplicateSweep application (“the App”). Your privacy and the security of your data are our highest priorities, and this policy is designed to be transparent about how the App operates.
2. INFORMATION WE HANDLE
DuplicateSweep is designed to work entirely on your local device.
Personal Information: The App does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or location. We have no access to your identity.
Your Files and Folders: To function, the App requires you to select a folder on your Mac to scan. All processing of your files—including reading contents to generate hashes, analyzing metadata (like names and dates), and comparing them—occurs exclusively on your computer. The contents of your files are never sent to our servers or any third party.
Local Storage: The App stores its own necessary data locally on your device in standard application support folders. This includes:
Your settings and preferences.
A database for the App's internal trash, which contains copies of the files you have chosen to move to trash.
This data is for your use only and is never transmitted to us.
3. CORRESPONDENCE
If you choose to contact us for support via email, your message will contain the information you provide, such as your name and email address. This information is used solely to communicate with you regarding your query.
4. COOKIES AND TRACKING
The App does not use cookies or any other user-tracking technologies.
5. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE
We do not collect your personal information, file contents, or file metadata, and therefore, we do not and cannot sell, trade, or share it with any third parties. All your data remains under your control on your device at all times.
6. POLICY UPDATES
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Your continued use of the App after any modifications signifies your acceptance of the new terms.
