Privacy

Last updated October 6, 2026

The short version: your scans never leave your Mac. There's no account and no tracking. The app has no analytics, and this website doesn't use cookies.

The Sweep app

• Scans stay on your Mac. Sweep reads folder names, sizes, dates and your projects' own files (likepackage.json, lockfiles and git's history) only inside the folders you choose. Folder sizes are cached in~/Library/Application Support/com.qc.sweep/ so rescans are fast. Nothing is uploaded. Delete that folder to erase it.
• Cleaning happens locally. Sweep deletes or moves to the Trash only the folders you confirm.
• License activation. When you enter your license key, Sweep sends the key and your Mac's model name (for example “MacBook Pro (14-inch, Nov 2023)”, never your computer's name) to Polar, who run our checkout, to activate it, and checks about once a day that it's still valid.
• Updates. Sweep checks our website for new versions. That request includes your app version and macOS version, like any download does.

This website

• No ads, no cookies, and nothing that follows you around the web.
• We count anonymous visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn't use cookies or fingerprinting. It tells us how many people visit and which pages they read, never who they are. We also count a few anonymous clicks (like “Buy” or “Download”, and which button) as simple daily totals. None of this identifies you.
• Our host, Cloudflare, processes standard request data (like IP addresses) to serve and protect the site.

Purchases

Payments are handled by Polar, the merchant of record for Sweep. They process your name, email, billing details and payment method under their privacy policy. We receive your email and order details so we can send your license key and support your purchase. We never see your card number.
