Privacy & security

Storage Studio does its work on your Mac, and your files stay there or go only where you send them. What it sends to its own servers is licence details, a few usage and health numbers, and anything you choose to send, such as a support ticket.

Every kind of connection Storage Studio makes, in plain words — what it sends to its own servers, how often, and what only goes out when you ask it to.

Our website asks before it sets analytics or advertising cookies, and works the same if you decline. If you accept, the download link can carry an anonymous visitor number, which Storage Studio reports once on first launch together with any campaign tags or partner code — never your name, email or files.

Storage Studio asks macOS for Full Disk Access and notifications, asks for your administrator password only for a few protected changes, and can start at login. Here is what each one is for.

Storage Studio releases are signed with the developer's Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple. Download it only from storagestudio.us, and macOS will confirm Apple checked it when you first open it.

When Storage Studio removes your files it puts them in the Recycle Vault or the Trash so you can get them back. It deletes only from places it is allowed to, and permanent actions make you type a word first.

Storage Studio keeps its most sensitive records, and the passwords you type in for storage accounts, encrypted and tied to this Mac. Its other files can be read only by your user account. Changing your licence email keeps everything readable.
