Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2024

Overview

Cluttered is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe your development environment is personal, and we've built our app to respect that.

Data We Collect

What Stays on Your Device

  • All file scanning happens locally on your Mac
  • Project paths and names are never transmitted
  • Your code and files are never accessed
  • Deletion history is stored locally only

What We May Collect (with permission)

  • Anonymous usage analytics: Aggregate data like "how many times the scan button was clicked" helps us improve the app. This is opt-in and can be disabled.
  • Crash reports: When the app crashes, you may choose to send a report. This contains technical information but no personal data or file paths.
  • License validation: For Pro users, we verify your license. This sends only your license key, not any file or project information.

Data We Never Collect

  • Contents of your files
  • Names of your projects
  • Your code or source files
  • Git history or commit messages
  • Any personally identifiable information

Third-Party Services

Cluttered may use the following services:

  • Analytics (optional): We use privacy-focused analytics that don't track individual users.
  • Payment processing: For Pro purchases, we use Stripe or Paddle. We never see or store your payment details.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Opt out of all analytics
  • Request deletion of any data we hold
  • Export your settings and preferences
  • Use Cluttered completely offline

Changes to This Policy

We'll notify you of significant changes to this policy through the app or our website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
