WinNamePrivacy Policy
1. Summary
Pulda and WinName do not collect your files, your file names or usage statistics. They contain no advertising or tracking tools, and personal information is not sold or shared for advertising. The table below lists every case in which personal information is processed.
In this policy, "the Provider" means the operator of pulda.app.
2. Personal information that is processed
| Case | Information | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Update checks (copies distributed directly) | IP address, app name and version. This is the ordinary connection information sent when the app contacts the update server. No device identifier or system profile is sent | Providing new versions | The Provider keeps no access logs of its own. The hosting provider keeps them for its own period |
| Problem reports and questions you send | Email address, the message, and the report (app and macOS version, Mac model, settings, the kind and outcome of recent tasks). File and folder names, error details and the log are included only if you choose to include them | Diagnosing the problem and replying | 12 months after the request is closed |
| Pulda from the Mac App Store | Processed by Apple. The Provider receives sales totals and anonymous crash reports from users who agreed to share them | Improving quality | Apple's period |
| Visiting the website | IP address and browser information in the hosting provider's access logs. Cookies and analytics tools are not used | Running and securing the site | The Provider keeps no access logs of its own. The hosting provider keeps them for its own period |
The apps never send a problem report by themselves. The app writes the report and shows it to you, and you check it and send it yourself.
3. Information that stays on your Mac
The following is stored only on your Mac and is not sent to the Provider.
- Pulda. The list of recently opened archives, a record of recent tasks (up to 200, including archive file names), and passwords you chose to save (in the macOS keychain). Clearing the recent list also clears the task record.
- WinName. The history of renamed items (including file paths), the log, the record of items that could not be renamed, and the list of watched folders.
This information is removed when you delete the app and its data folder.
4. Who else processes information
The Provider does not sell personal information or provide it for advertising. The following businesses process information within their own roles.
| Business | Role | Information |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Running the update server and the website, forwarding support email | Access logs (IP address and similar), forwarded email |
| Google LLC (Gmail) | Receiving questions and problem reports | Email address, message content |
| Apple | Selling and distributing through the Mac App Store (independent controller) | Apple account and payment details |
Information may also be disclosed where the law requires it, to the extent required.
