Privacy Policy

How we protect your privacy and handle your data

Last updated: November 2025

Privacy First Approach

XCleaner is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal data and only what is necessary for the app to function properly. Your files and personal information remain completely private.

What Data We Collect

Minimal Data Collection

XCleaner only collects anonymous usage statistics to improve the app. This includes:

  • App performance metrics (crash reports, if you choose to share)
  • Feature usage patterns (which cleaning categories you use)
  • App version and macOS version for compatibility

No Personal Files

XCleaner never reads, stores, or transmits the contents of your personal files. We only scan file metadata (names, sizes, dates) to identify files that can be safely cleaned.

How We Use Your Data

App Improvement

Anonymous usage data helps us understand which features are most valuable and identify areas for improvement.

Support

If you contact support, we may ask for system information to help troubleshoot issues. This information is only used for support purposes.

No Advertising

We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising. XCleaner is a paid application with no ads or tracking.

Data Security

Local Processing

All file scanning and cleaning operations happen locally on your Mac. No files are uploaded to our servers.

Secure Transmission

Any data transmitted to our servers (like crash reports) uses industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS).

Data Retention

Anonymous usage data is retained for analytical purposes and automatically deleted after 2 years.

Your Rights

Opt Out

You can disable anonymous usage reporting in XCleaner's settings at any time.

Data Access

Contact us if you'd like to know what data we have about your usage or request deletion.
