Privacy

The short version

SymbolSweep is a local-only desktop app. We collect no data.

What stays on your machine

Everything. SymbolSweep scans your filesystem for developer artifacts—build caches, derived data, package manager directories—and displays the results locally. No scan data, file paths, directory names, or disk metrics ever leave your Mac.

What it accesses

SymbolSweep reads only the directories it needs to measure and clean:

It does not access your documents, photos, mail, browser data, or any directories outside its scan scope. Deletes always go to macOS Trash first.

Network requests

SymbolSweep makes zero network requests during normal operation. It does not phone home, upload telemetry, or communicate with any server. Optional update checks connect only to the update server and send no user data.

Analytics

None. No cookies, no tracking pixels, no analytics service—not in the app, not on this website.

Third parties

We don’t share data with third parties because we don’t have any data to share.
