Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how OverClean ("the Application", "we", "our") handles information when you use our macOS disk space analyzer application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Key Point: OverClean is a fully offline application that does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data.

2. Data Controller Information

OverClean is proprietary software. The source code may be made available for studying or contribution purposes upon request. For privacy inquiries, please contact us through the contact form on our website.

3. Data We Collect

3.1 File System Metadata

When you perform a scan, the Application collects the following metadata from your file system:

• File paths and names
• File sizes
• Creation dates
• Modification dates
• File owner information
• File extensions and types

3.2 Application Information

When scanning for applications and leftovers, the Application collects:

• Application bundle identifiers
• Application names and versions
• Application bundle locations and sizes

3.3 What We Do NOT Collect

• No personal data: We do not collect names, email addresses, or contact information
• No file contents: We only read file metadata, never the actual content of your files
• No usage analytics: We do not track how you use the Application
• No telemetry: We do not send any usage data or crash reports
• No network transmission: No data ever leaves your device
• No account information: The Application does not require registration or sign-in

4. How We Use Data

All collected data is used exclusively for:

• Displaying file and directory information in the Application interface
• Calculating disk usage statistics
• Categorizing files by type
• Identifying applications and their associated data
• Detecting orphaned application data (leftovers)

Data processing occurs entirely on your local device.

5. Data Storage

5.1 Local Database

Scan results are stored in a local SQLite database on your Mac at:

~/Library/Application Support/Overclean/overclean.db

5.2 No Cloud Storage

• No data is uploaded to any cloud service
• No data is stored on external servers
• All data remains on your local device

5.3 User Control

You have complete control over the stored data:

• You can delete the database file at any time
• Uninstalling the Application removes all associated data
• No residual data is retained elsewhere

6. Data Sharing

We do not share any data with third parties.

• No data is transmitted over the internet
• No data is sold to advertisers or data brokers
• No data is shared with analytics providers
• No data is shared with any other applications or services

7. Data Retention

• Data is stored locally only for as long as needed to display scan results
• You can clear scan data at any time by deleting the database file
• Uninstalling the Application removes all stored data
• We do not retain any backup copies of your data

8. Your Rights (GDPR Compliance)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws, you have the following rights:

8.1 Right of Access (Article 15)

You can access all data stored by the Application by:

• Viewing scan results within the Application
• Opening the SQLite database file directly

8.2 Right to Rectification (Article 16)

Since the Application only reads file system metadata, any inaccuracies reflect your actual file system state. Changes to your files are reflected in subsequent scans.

8.3 Right to Erasure (Article 17)

You can delete all Application data by:

• Deleting the database file at ~/Library/Application Support/Overclean/
• Uninstalling the Application

8.4 Right to Data Portability (Article 20)

The SQLite database is stored in a standard, open format that can be accessed with any SQLite-compatible tool.

8.5 Right to Object (Article 21)

Since no data processing occurs beyond local display and analysis, and no data is transmitted, this right is inherently satisfied.

8.6 How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights:

1. Delete the Application's data folder to remove all stored data
2. Uninstall the Application to remove all associated files
3. Contact us through the contact form on our website for any questions

9. Security Measures

We implement appropriate security measures:

• All data is stored locally with standard macOS file system permissions
• No data transmission means no risk of interception
• The Application requests only necessary system permissions (Full Disk Access for scanning)

10. Children's Privacy

The Application does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 16. Since we do not collect personal data, no special provisions for children's data are necessary.

11. Third-Party Services

OverClean does not use any third-party services.

• No analytics services (Google Analytics, etc.)
• No crash reporting services
• No advertising networks
• No external APIs or services
• No network connections of any kind

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be indicated by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

13. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Article 6)

The legal basis for processing file system metadata is:

• Legitimate interest: To provide the core functionality of disk space analysis that you requested when using the Application
• Consent: By choosing to scan specific directories, you consent to the local processing of that data
