Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 10, 2026

FileSnoop is designed with privacy in mind. We believe your files and search activity are your business, not ours.

The Short Version

We don't collect your data. FileSnoop runs entirely on your computer. Your files, searches, and settings never leave your device.

Desktop Application

The FileSnoop desktop application:

  • Does not collect any personal information
  • Does not track your searches or file access
  • Does not send telemetry, analytics, or usage data
  • Does not require an account or registration
  • Works offline with no internet connection required

All your data stays on your computer:

  • Search profiles are stored locally
  • Application settings are stored locally
  • No cloud sync, no remote storage

License Validation

If you purchase a license (Supporter or Commercial), the application makes a secure connection to Gumroad's servers to validate your license key. This is the only network activity the app performs.

The validation request includes:

  • Your license key
  • No other personal information

This validation can be cached locally for offline use.

Website (filesnoop.app)

This website uses Cloudflare for hosting and may use Cloudflare Analytics, which is privacy-friendly:

  • No cookies are used for analytics
  • No personal data is collected
  • No cross-site tracking

Purchases

License purchases are processed by Gumroad. When you make a purchase, Gumroad collects payment information according to their privacy policy. We receive:

  • Your email address (for license delivery)
  • Purchase date and amount
  • License key generated for your purchase

We do not receive or store your payment card details.

Contact & Support

If you email us for support, we'll have your email address and any information you choose to share. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.

Changes to This Policy

If we make significant changes to this policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, for major changes, post a notice on the website.
