Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 2, 2026

Overview

TrimyMac is built on a simple principle: your Mac is yours, and so is your data. We do not collect personal information, we do not run analytics on your behavior, and we have built no server infrastructure to receive data from your device. When you use TrimyMac, every byte of analysis stays on your Mac — period.

This privacy policy describes what information TrimyMac does and does not collect, how the application operates, and the limited context in which a third-party payment processor handles transaction data on our behalf. We have kept this document as plain and direct as possible because we believe privacy policies should be readable, not weaponized legalese.

Information We Do Not Collect

TrimyMac collects absolutely none of the following:

• Personal identifiers — no name, email address, Apple ID, or device identifier is collected or transmitted by the app.
• Usage data and analytics — we have no analytics SDK embedded in TrimyMac. We do not know which features you use, how often you clean, or how much storage you recover.
• Crash reports — TrimyMac does not send crash logs or diagnostic data to any server. If the app crashes, the crash report exists only in your local macOS Diagnostics folder. You are never silently reporting anything to us.
• File names or content — the app reads your disk to identify junk, caches, and large files, but this information is never logged, stored in any external location, or transmitted anywhere.
• Hardware fingerprints — we do not collect your Mac's serial number, hardware UUID, or any other hardware identifier for tracking purposes.
• Location data — TrimyMac never requests or infers your geographic location.
• Network traffic metadata — beyond license validation (described below), TrimyMac makes no outbound network connections.

Local Processing Only

All disk scanning, analysis, and cleanup operations performed by TrimyMac run entirely on your Mac using local system APIs provided by macOS. The app reads your file system to identify cache folders, log files, application support debris, and other categories of junk. It then presents results to you — the human — before deleting anything. Nothing it reads is ever transmitted to an external server, synced to the cloud, or made accessible to us or any third party.

TrimyMac does not require an internet connection to perform cleaning. An active connection is only needed at the moment of license activation, and even then only a short validation request is made (see License Verification below). After activation, the app works fully offline, indefinitely.

License Verification

When you purchase a Pro license (Annual or Lifetime), payment is processed by LemonSqueezy, our merchant of record. TrimyMac never touches your credit card number, billing address, or any payment instrument. LemonSqueezy issues a license key upon successful payment, and that key is the only artifact that reaches us or the app.

When you activate a license key inside TrimyMac, the app sends the key to LemonSqueezy's license validation API to confirm it is genuine and has not been revoked. This request contains the license key and a machine identifier that LemonSqueezy uses to enforce per-device seat limits as described in our Terms of Service. No personal data is included in this request. After a successful validation, the app stores the activation status locally in your Mac's Keychain or preferences file.

Subsequent launches of TrimyMac do not re-contact any server. The license check is cached locally. An internet connection is only re-required if you deactivate and reactivate your license, or install the app on a new Mac.

Cookies

The TrimyMac.com website does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or behavioral analytics cookies. No third-party ad network or retargeting platform places cookies through our website.

When you navigate to our store checkout (hosted and operated by LemonSqueezy), LemonSqueezy may set cookies that are strictly necessary for the checkout session to function — for example, to maintain your cart or process the payment securely. These cookies are scoped to the checkout session and are governed by LemonSqueezy's own privacy policy. We do not read, access, or benefit from these cookies outside the context of completing your purchase.

Third-Party Services

The only third-party service integrated with TrimyMac is LemonSqueezy, which serves as our payment processor and merchant of record. LemonSqueezy handles all financial transactions, issues license keys, and manages subscription billing for Annual plans. Their handling of payment data is subject to their own privacy policy, which you can review at lemonsqueezy.com/privacy.

We have not integrated any of the following into TrimyMac or this website: Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Sentry, Datadog, Segment, Facebook Pixel, or any equivalent data collection or observability service. If this ever changes, this policy will be updated and the effective date revised accordingly.

Children's Privacy

TrimyMac is a utility application intended for general Mac users and is not directed at children under the age of 13. Because we collect no personal data from anyone, there is no special risk to minors from using the application itself. Our website does not knowingly collect information from children.

Data Security

Because TrimyMac collects no personal data and transmits nothing to our servers, there is no database of user information for us to secure or for a third party to breach. Your license key is stored locally on your own Mac in a protected location. The security of your Mac — including disk encryption via FileVault and keeping macOS up to date — is the primary protection for any locally stored data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add new features or if legal requirements change. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We will not make material changes that reduce your privacy protections without providing reasonable notice. Continued use of TrimyMac after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

We recommend checking this page periodically if you have concerns about privacy. The current version will always be available at trimymac.com/privacy/.
