Privacy Policy - MacSweep Guard

Effective date: 2026-02-16 Version: 1.0

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how MacSweep Guard ("app", "we") collects, uses, and protects data when you use the app.

2. Data we collect

We only collect data required to operate and improve the product:

Anonymous telemetry through Firebase Analytics (for example: screen navigation events, number of detected cleanup items, cleanup flow status).
Basic technical device/app data provided by analytics platforms (for example: app version, platform, OS version).
Information you voluntarily provide when contacting support (if any).

We do not intentionally collect or upload:

The content of your personal files.
Personal file paths for content analysis.
System passwords or login credentials.

3. How we use data

We use data to:

Measure feature reliability and performance.
Detect issues, improve user experience, and prioritize roadmap decisions.
Provide troubleshooting support when requested by you.

4. Third-party data processing

We may use third-party analytics providers to process telemetry data, including:

Google Firebase Analytics.

These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies, and only for product operation/analytics purposes.

5. Storage and retention

Local app data (for example: app settings) is stored on your device.
Analytics data retention follows Firebase platform retention mechanisms.
We keep data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

6. Data security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. However, no storage or transmission method is 100% secure.

7. Your choices

You may:

Stop using the app at any time.
Disable analytics (when a suitable runtime/config option is available).
Request data-related assistance through the official support channel published with releases.

8. Children's privacy

The app is not directed to children below the minimum legal age in applicable jurisdictions. If you believe children's data was submitted by mistake, contact us for review and removal.

9. Cross-border processing

Because cloud infrastructure is used, telemetry data may be processed in countries different from your residence.

10. Policy updates

We may update this policy from time to time. Updated versions will include a new effective date and be published with the app/project documentation.
