Effective: 25 May, 2026
DriveShelf is a macOS application that catalogs your external drives locally on your Mac. This policy explains what data the app handles, and what it does not.
What we collect
Nothing. DriveShelf does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on remote servers. We don’t use analytics, telemetry, advertising frameworks, or third-party SDKs.
What stays on your Mac
DriveShelf reads metadata from the external drives you explicitly grant it access to — filenames, file sizes, dates, and folder structure. This information is stored only in a local SQLite database inside the app’s sandbox on your Mac (~/Library/Containers/com.sergiypudich.DriveShelf/).
DriveShelf does not read, copy, or transmit the contents of your files — only the metadata listed above.
Permissions
DriveShelf uses macOS security-scoped bookmarks to remember which drives you have granted it access to. These bookmarks are stored only on your device and are managed by macOS.
Sharing
We do not share, sell, or transfer any data, because we don’t collect any.
Data deletion
To delete your data, uninstall DriveShelf from your Mac. Removing the app removes the local catalog along with it.
Children’s privacy
DriveShelf is not directed at children under 13. Because we collect no personal data, no special handling applies.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted at this URL with a new effective date.
