Privacy Policy
Effective: 2026-09-12
HideClean runs locally on your Mac. This policy explains how information is handled.
What we do not collect
- No accounts, analytics, or advertising SDKs
- No upload of file contents, paths, or scan results
- No cross-app or cross-site tracking
What stays on your Mac
- Preferences (appearance, language, notifications)
- Whitelist and scan history
- Security-scoped bookmarks for folders you authorize
- Local cache of Pro purchase state (App Store transactions are authoritative)
File access
By default HideClean checks temporary folders and Downloads. “My Folders” is accessed only after you authorize it in the system picker. File size and modification date are used only to show results in the UI. Cleaning always moves items to the Trash.
Purchases
HideClean Pro is a one-time purchase. Payment is handled by Apple App Store; the app never sees your card details.
