Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 7, 2026

1. Introduction

WherePut ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our desktop application.

WherePut is designed with privacy as a core principle. The application operates entirely locally on your device, and we have no access to your data.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be clear about what we do not collect:

• File contents, names, or metadata
• Clipboard contents
• Screenshots or images
• Browser history or URLs
• Application usage data
• Personal information
• Location data
• Device identifiers (except for license validation)

3. Data Stored Locally

WherePut stores the following information locally on your device (in SQLite database and configuration files):

• Artifact metadata: Filenames, file paths, timestamps, file sizes
• Context information: Active application name when files were created/downloaded
• Clipboard history: Text content you've copied (stored locally only)
• Settings: Your preferences and application configuration
• License information: Your license key and validation status

All this data is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

4. License Validation

When you activate a Pro license, the following information is sent to LemonSqueezy (our payment processor) for validation:

• Your license key
• A hashed device identifier (for activation limits)

This is the only network communication WherePut performs, and it only occurs when you manually activate a license. No other data is ever transmitted.

5. Third-Party Services

WherePut uses the following third-party services:

• LemonSqueezy: For payment processing and license validation. Their privacy policy can be found at lemonsqueezy.com/privacy

We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising services of any kind.

6. System Permissions

WherePut requires certain system permissions to function:

• Accessibility (macOS): To detect which application is active when you download files or take screenshots. We only read the application name, nothing else.
• File System: To monitor your Downloads and Desktop folders for new files. We only read file metadata, not file contents.
• Clipboard: To maintain clipboard history. Content is stored locally only.

7. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device, security is managed by your operating system's built-in protections. We recommend:

• Keeping your operating system updated
• Using full-disk encryption
• Using a strong device password

8. Data Deletion

You can delete all WherePut data at any time by:

• Uninstalling the application
• Deleting the application data folder:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/whereput/
  • Windows: %APPDATA%/whereput/

9. Children's Privacy

WherePut is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
