Privacy Policy

Effective 13 November 2026

Eitri (“the app”) is published by Mareks Reppo, an individual developer in Latvia (“I”, “me”). This policy explains what the app does with your data. The short version: Eitri runs entirely on your Mac and only reads how much space things take, nothing about your files leaves your Mac, the only data I receive is crash reports, and I don’t collect personal data.

What Eitri looks at

To show what fills your disk, Eitri measures the size of folders and files in the places you let it see: the startup disk once you unlock it, and the optional Full Disk Access if you grant it in System Settings. It reads sizes, not the contents of your files. File names, folder paths and sizes are shown on your screen and are never uploaded to me or to anyone else.

What Eitri removes

Eitri never deletes anything without your review. Items you choose are moved to the Trash, where you can put them back until you empty it. Eitri does not remove anything inside other apps’ data. Each category in the app states what it removes and whether it comes back.

Folder access

Eitri is sandboxed. The folder access you grant is stored on your Mac as a security-scoped bookmark, and you can revoke it at any time. Full Disk Access is optional and is managed by macOS in System Settings.

Free-plan allowance counter

To apply the free allowance, Eitri counts how many bytes you have moved to the Trash through the app. The counter is stored in your own iCloud account (iCloud key-value storage and iCloud Keychain) so it follows your Apple Account across your Macs. It contains no file names or paths. I cannot read it.

Purchases

Eitri Premium (a yearly subscription or a lifetime purchase) is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. I don’t receive your name, email or payment details. The app checks your purchase status with Apple on your Mac.

Crash reports

If the app crashes or hits an error, it may send a diagnostic report to Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.), the crash-reporting service I use. A report contains technical information only: the error and stack trace, app version, Mac model, macOS version and a random identifier for the app installation. It does not contain file names, folder paths, file sizes, your name, email or Apple Account. Reports are processed on Sentry’s servers in the United States and are used only to find and fix bugs. My legal basis is legitimate interest in keeping the app working (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

No tracking

Eitri has no advertising, no analytics SDKs and does not track you across apps or websites. Apart from Apple’s purchase checks and crash reports, the app makes no network connections.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask for access to, correction or deletion of personal data I hold about you, and you can object to processing. Apart from emails you have sent me, I don’t hold data that identifies you, so there is usually nothing to return or delete, but you can always contact me at eitri@reppo.app. You can also complain to the Latvian Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija).

Children

Eitri is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
