# Does Storage Studio upload my storage history or space readings?

No. Storage Studio keeps your storage history — the daily readings behind the charts and the space breakdown — on your Mac. Nothing in the charts is uploaded.

About a year of history is kept and older entries are trimmed automatically. If you want a longer archive, you can export the full history yourself as a spreadsheet file; see [how to export your storage history](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/how-do-i-export-my-storage-history).

For everything Storage Studio does and doesn't send, see the [Privacy & safety FAQ](https://storagestudio.us/faq/privacy-safety/).
