Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

TL;DR — DiskDog runs offline. We only collect your email (to send your license key) and an anonymous device ID (to bind your license). We never sell your data, never track your files, and never send marketing emails.

1. Overview

DiskDog is a desktop file management tool built with Rust and Tauri. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

2. Information We Collect

  • Email address — collected only when you purchase a license. Used solely to deliver your license key and provide purchase-related support. We do not send marketing emails.
  • Device ID (Machine ID) — a locally generated identifier used to bind your license key to your device. It cannot be used to personally identify you. It is transmitted to our server only during license activation or transfer.
  • Feedback content — if you submit feedback through the in-app form, we collect the message text and optionally your email address (not required). Used only to respond to your feedback and improve the product.
  • Download statistics — when you download DiskDog, we record an anonymized hashed IP address (SHA-256), platform, and app version. Raw IP addresses are never stored.

3. What We Do NOT Collect

  • The app runs entirely offline — no telemetry, usage analytics, or crash reports.
  • We do not collect file names, file contents, or directory structures from your disk.
  • We do not use tracking cookies or advertising pixels.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing.

4. Payment Processing

Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, a third-party payment provider. We do not store your credit card number or payment details. Lemon Squeezy's privacy policy: lemonsqueezy.com/privacy.

5. Data Retention

  • License records (email + license key) are retained indefinitely to support reactivation and transfers.
  • Feedback submissions are retained for up to 12 months.
  • Anonymized download statistics are retained for up to 24 months.

6. Your Rights

You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing [email protected]. Note that deleting your data will invalidate your license key.

7. Security

License keys are signed with HMAC-SHA256 and cannot be forged. All data transmission uses HTTPS. We do not store passwords.
