PRIVACY POLICY
The Short Version
ClearSweep runs entirely on your computer. It makes no network calls, collects no data, and sends nothing anywhere. It stores its settings and logs on your machine.
What ClearSweep Does
ClearSweep is a disk space analyzer. When you select a drive, it reads file and folder metadata (names, sizes, timestamps) from that drive to build the visualization. It scans only the drives you explicitly choose to scan, and only when you ask it to.
Data Collection
None. Specifically:
- No telemetry or analytics. ClearSweep does not track usage, features used, crashes, or anything else.
- No network activity. The app contains no networking code and works completely offline. Nothing you scan is uploaded, transmitted, or shared.
- No account. There is no sign-in, no email capture, no profile.
- No third-party services. No analytics SDKs, no crash reporters, no ad frameworks.
Scan results live in memory only and are discarded when you close the app.
Files ClearSweep Writes
ClearSweep writes only to its own application-data folder, %LOCALAPPDATA%\ClearSweep\:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
settings.json | Your app settings (e.g. deletion mode: Recycle Bin vs. permanent) |
window.settings | Window size and position, so the app reopens where you left it |
deletion-log.txt | A log of deletions performed in the app (path, outcome), so you can review what was removed |
crash.log | Local diagnostic details if the app encounters an unhandled error. |
These files stay on your device. The deletion log is never transmitted anywhere; settings and log files are recreated as needed.
File Deletion
ClearSweep uses the Windows Recycle Bin by default. Windows may warn you if an item cannot be recycled. Read that warning before proceeding. ClearSweep also offers a separate permanent-deletion setting.
Children's Privacy
ClearSweep collects no data from anyone, including children.
Microsoft Store
If you acquire ClearSweep through the Microsoft Store, Microsoft processes the purchase (transaction and account data) under Microsoft's Privacy Statement. ClearSweep itself never sees that data.
Changes to This Policy
If ClearSweep's privacy practices ever change (for example, adding opt-in crash reporting), this policy will be updated before any such feature ships, and the change will be called out in the release notes.
