Privacy Policy

Effective: 2026-05-01

What's Up is a macOS menu-bar utility. This policy documents what the app and this website do, and don't do, with your data.

1. Data we never collect

• Process data (PIDs, command lines, cwd, parent chain, editor attribution, listening ports)
• Project paths, file contents, git remotes, commit history
• System configuration or installed application lists
• Location, contacts, browsing history, or any other privacy-sensitive macOS entitlement

Everything above is processed locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, synced, or analysed.

2. When the app talks to the internet

• License activation and validation: when you enter a License Key, the app sends to our Cloudflare-hosted verification endpoint: (a) the License Key; (b) a SHA-256 hash of your Mac's hardware UUID (a one-way "device fingerprint" from which the original UUID cannot be recovered); (c) the app version. We don't retain IP addresses; Cloudflare keeps edge logs for up to 7 days for abuse protection.
• Update checks: on launch the app performs a standard HTTP GET against GitHub Releases to check for new versions. No account or process data is included.

3. Cookies and analytics

This site (findwhatsup.com) uses Plausible for aggregate, cookieless, GDPR-compliant analytics. Only page views and referrer are recorded; no individual user can be identified. The app itself uses no analytics SDK.

4. Data retention

• License records (key, device fingerprint, last-seen timestamp): until refund or deletion request
• Cloudflare edge access logs: 7 days
• Plausible aggregate data: 24 months

5. Your rights

You may request deletion of all data associated with your License Key at any time. Email hello@findwhatsup.com with your License Key; we respond within 14 days.

6. Changes

Any material change to this policy will be announced in-app and reflected by updating the Effective date above.
