Privacy

Last updated: July 18, 2026

What data we collect

None. CacheCleaner does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data, usage data, or information about the files it scans. The app makes no outbound network connections of any kind during normal operation.

What the app reads

To find caches and build folders, CacheCleaner scans directories on your Mac – with your permission, granted through standard macOS dialogs. Scan results exist only in the app’s memory while it runs. They are never written anywhere, never uploaded anywhere, and disappear when you quit the app.

Deletion

The app deletes only the items you explicitly select, on your Mac, locally. No record of what was deleted is kept or transmitted.

Settings

App preferences are stored locally on your Mac in the standard macOS preferences directory. They never leave your machine.

The one network request that does exist

The full version checks cachecleaner.app/appcast.xml for updates (via Sparkle) – a plain file download with no identifiers attached. That's the complete list; it sends no data about you or your Mac. The App Store version makes no network requests at all.

Analytics and tracking

There are none. No analytics SDKs, no crash reporters that send data to us or anyone else, no advertising identifiers, no third-party trackers of any kind.

Changes to this policy

If this ever changes – for example, if a future version adds an optional feature that requires network access – we will update this page and the app will make the change obvious on first launch. The last-updated date above will reflect any revision.
