Data We Do Not Collect

Enea Eraser does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information. There is no account creation, no registration, and no user identification of any kind.

The following data is never collected:

Permissions & System Access

Enea Eraser requests elevated system access solely to perform its core function: securely overwriting data on selected storage volumes. No access is used for any other purpose.

⚙️
Administrator Privileges (Full Disk mode only) When you choose Full Disk Erase, macOS displays its native authentication dialog requesting your administrator password. This is handled entirely by Apple's Authorization Services framework — Enea Eraser never sees or stores your password. Privileges are used exclusively to open the raw device (/dev/rdiskX) for writing and are released immediately after the operation completes.
💾
Volume Write Access (Free Space mode) In Free Space mode, the app creates a temporary file on the selected volume using Apple's itemReplacementDirectory API. This file is used solely to fill unused sectors with the chosen overwrite pattern. It is deleted automatically when each pass completes. No other files are read, modified, or accessed.

Network Activity

Enea Eraser makes zero network connections. It does not communicate with any server, service, or external endpoint — ever.

The application functions entirely offline and is suitable for use in air-gapped or network-restricted environments.

Local Storage

Enea Eraser stores minimal data locally on your Mac, limited to what is necessary for the application to function between sessions.

📋
User Preferences Your last-selected erase method and mode are remembered via macOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time by removing the app's preference file from ~/Library/Preferences/.
📄
Erase Reports At the end of each operation, a summary report is displayed in-app. If you choose to export it, the report is saved to a location you specify via the standard macOS save dialog. No reports are stored automatically or sent anywhere. Exported reports contain only operational metadata: disk name, method used, duration, bytes processed, and success status — no file contents or personal data.

Third-Party Services

Enea Eraser uses no third-party SDKs, frameworks, or services. It is built exclusively using Apple's native frameworks — SwiftUI, Security, Foundation, and AppKit — which are provided by macOS and subject to Apple's own privacy practices.

No advertising networks, analytics libraries, or external APIs of any kind are integrated into the application.

Children's Privacy

Enea Eraser does not collect any information from any user, including children under the age of 13. Since no data is collected whatsoever, the application inherently complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations worldwide.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy is updated, the new version will be published at the same URL with a revised effective date. Given that Enea Eraser collects no data, material changes to this policy are unlikely.

Continued use of the application after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
