Overview

Ejecta is designed with privacy as a core principle. I don’t collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data.

What Data Ejecta Accesses

Ejecta requires Full Disk Access permission to function. This permission is used solely to:

Run the lsof command to identify which processes have files open on your external drives
Detect mounted external volumes

This information is processed locally on your Mac and is never transmitted anywhere.

What Data I Don’t Collect

No analytics: I don’t track how you use the app
No telemetry: I don’t send usage data to any server
No personal information: I don’t collect names, emails, or any identifying information through the app
No file contents: Ejecta never reads the contents of your files

License Validation

When you activate your license, Ejecta communicates with Payhip’s servers to validate your license key. This process only transmits:

Your license key
A machine identifier (to enforce per-Mac licensing)

No other information is transmitted during license validation.

Updates

Ejecta uses the Sparkle framework to check for updates. When checking for updates, only basic system information (macOS version, app version) is transmitted to determine if an update is available. This is standard behavior for macOS applications using Sparkle.

Third-Party Services

Payhip: Handles payment processing and license management. See Payhip’s Privacy Policy.
Sparkle: Handles update checking. Sparkle is open-source software that runs locally.
