Privacy
In short
Archydes collects no data. The app has no access to the internet. Your files and archives are processed only on your Mac. There is no tracking, no advertising and no analytics service. That is why the App Store says “Data Not Collected”.

2. Your files
Archydes opens, checks, extracts, creates and edits archives only on your Mac. To do so, the app reads and writes only files and folders you choose, drag into it or grant access to. Archydes runs in the macOS sandbox and cannot access anything else. Contents, file names and passwords never leave your Mac. Archydes does not store archive passwords.
For previews and for “Edit in Editor”, Archydes briefly keeps copies in its private folder on your Mac. They are deleted when the window is closed, at the latest the next time the app starts.
The same applies to the app’s two extensions: the Finder menu (right-click › Archydes) only shows commands and passes them to the app. The Quick Look preview (Space in the Finder) reads the archive only on your Mac.
3. Stored on your Mac
Archydes stores your settings and the folders you granted access to locally on your Mac. Folder access can be reset under Archydes › Settings. When you delete the app, macOS removes this information.
4. Buying Archydes Pro
You buy Archydes Pro through the App Store. Apple handles the purchase, and Apple’s privacy policy applies. We receive no information about you: no name, no email address and no payment details. Archydes checks only on your Mac, using the purchase receipts signed by Apple, whether Pro is unlocked. Apple gives us aggregated sales figures that do not identify individuals.
5. Crash reports
If you turned on “Share with app developers” in macOS, Apple gives us crash reports and aggregated usage data without names. We use them only to fix bugs. You decide whether to share them under System Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
6. Help and support
The help (Help › Archydes Help) is built into the app and works without the internet. Some pages link to our websites, for example to the forms for support, bug reports and feature requests. These links open in your browser; the app itself sends nothing. The websites’ own privacy policy applies to them.
If you write to us through a form or by email, we use your information only to answer your request. The forms are run with YouTrack by JetBrains s.r.o. (Czech Republic), where we handle requests.
7. Your rights
As the app collects no data, we hold no data about you from the app. If you sent us a request, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and to object (Art. 15–21 GDPR; in the Dominican Republic under Law 172-13). Write to privacy@solit.com.do. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority, in the EU for example the one where you live.
Data about App Store purchases is managed by Apple; please contact Apple for it (privacy.apple.com).
8. Children
Archydes is not directed at children and collects no data, including from children.
9. Changes
Should Archydes ever send data, we will update this policy and the App Store information before the corresponding update. The date above shows the current version.
