Your files stay yours.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the Screen Folders macOS application and the Screen Folders website. It explains what information the app accesses, what stays on your device, and the limited technical data that may be processed when you visit the website.

2. Data the app collects

Screen Folders does not collect personal data from the app. The developer does not receive your name, email address, device identifiers, location, usage history, file names, file paths, file contents, or usage analytics through Screen Folders. The app does not include its own crash-reporting service.

The app has no developer-operated server, account system, advertising SDK, analytics SDK, or telemetry service. It does not sell personal information or share data for advertising or tracking.

3. Files and folders you choose

Screen Folders accesses only folders you select using standard macOS controls. That access lets the app display a folder's contents, observe changes, create system thumbnails, and perform file actions you request, such as opening, moving, renaming, copying, or deleting an item.

Finder and macOS remain responsible for the underlying files. Screen Folders does not upload file contents, file names, folder names, or paths to the developer or to a third-party service.

4. Information stored on your Mac

To remember your setup, Screen Folders stores app preferences, display placement and appearance settings, folder display names, last-known local paths, item layout information, and security-scoped bookmarks granted by macOS. The app may also keep temporary icon and thumbnail caches for performance.

This information is stored locally in the app's preferences, application-support storage, and caches. It is used only to provide the app's features and is not transmitted to the developer.

5. Retention and your choices

Local configuration remains on your Mac until you remove a Screen Folder, change its folder access, clear the app's local data, or remove that data from macOS. Temporary caches may be cleared by macOS automatically.

You can revoke a folder's ongoing use by removing it from Screen Folders or by choosing a different managed folder location. Removing a Screen Folder removes the app's active saved configuration for that folder; it does not delete the underlying folder or its files. Because the developer never receives this local information, there is no server-side account or personal data record to delete.

6. Sharing and third parties

Screen Folders does not disclose app data to third parties. Actions that you initiate may use standard macOS services such as Finder, Quick Look, or the Trash. Apple separately processes App Store downloads, purchases, and any diagnostics you choose to share with Apple under Apple's own privacy policy.

7. Website

The Screen Folders website does not use advertising pixels, analytics scripts, user accounts, or marketing cookies. Like most websites, its hosting provider may process basic request data, such as an IP address, browser information, requested page, and time of access, to deliver and protect the site. The developer does not use that technical data to profile visitors or combine it with app activity.

If you open a GitHub link or request support through GitHub, your interaction is governed by GitHub's own privacy practices.

8. Children's privacy

Screen Folders is a general-purpose utility and is not directed to children. Because the app does not collect personal data, it does not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the app's features or data practices change. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date. The App Store privacy disclosures will also be updated before a release that changes data collection.

10. Contact

Questions about this policy or Screen Folders can be sent through the Screen Folders support page. Screen Folders is developed and supported by DeLitX. Please do not include private file contents, passwords, or other sensitive information in a public support request.
