Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Novetool (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information in connection with our website and software products, including FileWrench (“the Apps”). We are an independent software developer, and we built our products around a simple principle: your data belongs to you.

In short: our apps process your files locally on your device and do not collect, transmit, or sell your personal information.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Our Apps do not require an account and do not ask for your name, email address, or any other personal information to function. All file operations — including batch renaming and filename repair — happen entirely on your device. Your files never leave your Mac, and we never see them.

3. Website Analytics

This website may use privacy-respecting, aggregated analytics to understand overall traffic patterns, such as which pages are visited and from which countries visitors come. This data cannot be used to identify you personally, and we do not sell or share it with third parties.

4. Purchases

Paid licenses for our Apps are processed by Paddle.com, our payment provider. When you make a purchase, Paddle collects and processes your payment details (such as your name, email address, and billing information) under its own privacy policy. We receive only the minimum order information needed to issue and support your license. We never see or store your card details.

5. Cookies

Our website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Any cookies used are strictly functional and exist solely to make the site work correctly.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website and Apps contain links to third-party services, such as the Mac App Store and Paddle checkout. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those services and encourage you to read their respective privacy policies.

7. Data Security

Because our Apps process everything locally, there is no server-side database of your files or file names to breach. On our end, we take reasonable technical measures to protect the limited information we do hold, such as license and support records.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website and Apps are not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our products or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

10. Contact

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us through the support channels listed on this website. We are a small team and respond personally to every message.
