Directory
Privacy Policy
No accounts, ads, analytics or tracking, and nothing is sent to us.
This policy explains how Directory (“the app”), a file manager for the Mac, developed by Kevin Fitzgerald, handles information.
Information we collect
None. Directory does not collect, store, sell or share personal information on any server, and it does not include analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking tools of any kind.
Information stored on your Mac
To work, the app keeps the following on your Mac only:
- Your settings, sidebar favorites, recent folders, smart folders and workspaces
- Bookmarks for the folders you gave Directory access to, so it can open them again
- Folder sizes it has measured, while it’s open
It stays in Directory’s own storage on your Mac and is never sent to us. It is removed if you delete the app.
Your files
Directory shows, previews and changes only the files and folders you ask it to, in the folders you gave it access to. Nothing about your files is ever sent anywhere; checksums, folder sizes, Git badges, duplicates and archives are all worked out on your Mac.
Search
Searches use Spotlight, the search built into macOS, on your Mac.
Purchases
Directory is sold through Apple’s Mac App Store. Apple handles payment; we never see your payment details.
Children’s privacy
Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If the app ever begins collecting data, this policy will be updated before that happens.
