Privacy Policy

Effective 5 September 2026 · Applies to Free My Disk for macOS

Free My Disk is made by Albu Studio (Alexey Bulatnikov). The short version: the app collects no personal data, has no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking. Everything it does happens on your Mac.

What the app does

Free My Disk scans well-known cache and build-output locations inside your home folder (for example Xcode DerivedData, simulator data, package-manager caches, ~/Library/Caches, ~/Library/Logs and the Trash), shows you their size, and deletes the ones you choose. The optional Free RAM feature asks macOS to release inactive memory. None of this information leaves your computer.

Data we collect

None. Free My Disk does not collect, store, or transmit personal information, usage statistics, file names, or file contents. The app does not include analytics or advertising SDKs.

Permissions

• Home folder access. Free My Disk runs in the macOS App Sandbox. On first launch it asks you, through the standard system Open panel, to grant access to your home folder so it can scan and remove junk there. The grant is stored locally as a security-scoped bookmark and is used only for that purpose. You can revoke it at any time in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Files and Folders, or by deleting the app.
• Network. The only network activity is Apple's App Store framework handling your subscription. The app makes no other network requests.

Purchases and subscriptions

Free My Disk Pro is an auto-renewable subscription sold through the Mac App Store and processed entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details. Apple's handling of purchase data is described in Apple's Privacy Policy at apple.com/legal/privacy. You can manage or cancel the subscription in System Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.

Local settings

The app stores a few preferences on your Mac only: the mode you last used, whether your free clean and free RAM release have been used, and the home-folder permission described above. These never leave your device.

Children

Free My Disk is a utility with no accounts or communication features and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with an updated effective date.
