Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 12, 2026

HyunnyApps (“Developer”) built DownloadTrace (the “App”) as a paid macOS application. This page explains what the App does with your information.

The App has no server, no account, and makes no network requests. Nothing you do in the App leaves your Mac.

1. What the App reads

To do its job, the App reads information that macOS already stores about the files in your Downloads folder:

• File name, extension, path, size, and type
• Creation, modification, and download timestamps
• Source information saved by the app that downloaded the file: the source URL, the origin page URL, and the name of the downloading app
• A content hash, used only to identify byte-identical duplicate files

Apart from computing that hash, the App does not read the contents of your files.

2. Where it is stored

Everything above is stored in a local database inside the App’s sandbox container on your Mac, along with your settings.

The Developer has no server and receives none of it. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to.

3. Network use

The App makes no network requests. It is built without the outgoing network entitlement, so it cannot make them.

The single exception is when you click Open source page: the App hands the URL to your default browser and macOS opens it there. From that point your browser’s own privacy policy applies. The App does not fetch the page itself and sends nothing to the Developer.

4. Analytics, advertising, and AI

None. The App contains no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, no advertising, and no AI or machine-learning service. It uses no third-party libraries of any kind.
