||||
**Last Updated:** October 26, 2025

||||
**Version:** 1.0.0
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|

AutoMailSender is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
|
||||
|
||||

AutoMailSender collects and stores the following data **locally on your Mac**:
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

### Usage Statistics
|
||||
- Total number of emails sent (count only)
|
||||
- Total number of files sent (count only)
|
||||
- Last email sent timestamp
|
||||
|
||||
## How We Use Your Data
|
||||
|
||||
Your data is used **exclusively** for the following purposes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Sending Emails:** Credentials and SMTP settings are used to connect to your chosen email server and send emails on your behalf
|
||||
2. **App Functionality:** Preferences and settings are used to customize your experience
|
||||
3. **Statistics:** Basic usage counters help you track your email activity
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Storage & Security
|
||||
|
||||
### Local Storage Only
|
||||
**ALL data is stored locally on your Mac.** We do not:
|
||||
- Send data to any remote servers (except your SMTP server for email sending)
|
||||
- Use cloud storage
|
||||
- Sync data across devices
|
||||
- Share data with third parties
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage Locations
|
||||
- **Credentials:** macOS Keychain (system-level encrypted storage)
|
||||
- **Settings & Preferences:** `~/Library/Application Support/AutoMailSender/config.json`
|
||||
- **Logs:** `~/Library/Logs/AutoMailSender/` (no sensitive data logged)
|
||||
|
||||
### Encryption
|
||||
- Email credentials are stored in macOS Keychain using system-level encryption
|
||||
- Keychain data is protected by your Mac's security infrastructure
|
||||
- No custom encryption keys or passwords are required
|
||||
|
||||
## Third-Party Data Sharing
|
||||
|
||||
**We DO NOT share your data with any third parties.** Specifically:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **No analytics services** (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
|
||||
- ✅ **No advertising networks**
|
||||
- ✅ **No crash reporting services**
|
||||
- ✅ **No tracking pixels or cookies**
|
||||
- ✅ **No social media integration**
|
||||
- ✅ **No data brokers or resellers**
|
||||
|
||||
### The Only Exception: Your SMTP Server
|
||||
|
||||
When you send an email, AutoMailSender connects **directly** to your chosen SMTP server (e.g., smtp.gmail.com, smtp-mail.outlook.com). This connection is necessary to send emails and is subject to your email provider's privacy policy:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Gmail Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
|
||||
- [Outlook Privacy Policy](https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement)
|
||||
- [Yahoo Privacy Policy](https://legal.yahoo.com/privacy.html)
|
||||
- [iCloud Privacy Policy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/)
|
||||
|
||||
## Network Activity
|
||||
|
||||
AutoMailSender **only** makes network connections to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Your SMTP server** (as configured in settings) to send emails
|
||||
2. **No other connections** - no analytics, no updates, no telemetry
|
||||
|
||||
All SMTP connections use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) when supported by your email provider.
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Retention
|
||||
|
||||
Data is retained **indefinitely** until you:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Manually delete it** through the app's settings
|
||||
2. **Uninstall the app** (see Data Deletion below)
|
||||
3. **Reset your Mac** or delete the Application Support folder
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Deletion
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Delete Your Data
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 1: Through the App**
|
||||
- Open Settings → Email tab
|
||||
- Clear credentials and recipients
|
||||
- Your data will be removed from Keychain and local storage
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 2: Uninstall the App**
|
||||
1. Move AutoMailSender.app to Trash
|
||||
2. Delete `~/Library/Application Support/AutoMailSender/`
|
||||
3. Keychain entries are automatically removed when the app is deleted
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 3: Manual Cleanup**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Delete application data
|
||||
rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/AutoMailSender/
|
||||
|
||||
# Delete logs
|
||||
rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/AutoMailSender/
|
||||
|
||||
# Remove Keychain entries (search for "AutoMailSender" in Keychain Access)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### What Happens After Deletion
|
||||
Once deleted, your data **cannot be recovered**. We do not have backups of your data on any servers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Your Rights
|
||||
|
||||
Under applicable privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you have the right to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Access** your data (it's all in local files - see Storage Locations above)
|
||||
2. **Correct** your data (edit through the app's settings)
|
||||
3. **Delete** your data (see Data Deletion above)
|
||||
4. **Export** your data (settings are stored in JSON format in `config.json`)
|
||||
|
||||
Since all data is stored locally on your Mac, you have full control and can exercise these rights at any time without contacting us.
|
||||
|
||||
## Children's Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
AutoMailSender does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages, but email functionality requires an SMTP account which typically requires users to be 13+.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes to This Privacy Policy
|
||||
|
||||
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in:
|
||||
- The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document
|
||||

|
||||
- Release notes for app updates
|
||||
|
||||
Continued use of AutoMailSender after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Data Breach Notification
|
||||
|
||||
Since all data is stored locally on your Mac and we do not operate any servers:
|
||||
|
||||
- **We cannot be breached** - we don't have your data on our servers
|
||||
- **Your data security** depends on your Mac's security (FileVault, password protection, etc.)
|
||||
- **If your Mac is compromised**, change your email passwords immediately
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||
Since all data stays on your Mac:
|
||||
- **No international transfers** occur (except SMTP connections to your email provider)
|
||||
- **No cross-border data flow** to our servers (we have no servers)
|
||||
- **Your data remains** in the country where your Mac is located
|
||||
|
||||
## Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
|
||||
|
||||
For users in the European Union, our legal basis for processing your data is:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Contract Performance:** Necessary to provide email sending functionality
|
||||
2. **Consent:** You provide explicit consent by configuring the app with your credentials
|
||||
3. **Legitimate Interest:** Storing preferences improves user experience
|
||||
