AnyaOrganize
Privacy

Your files stay under your control

AnyaOrganize organizes files on your Mac using rules you create. The current version does not require an AnyaOrganize account, upload your files to our servers, or include advertising, tracking, analytics, or an automatic crash-reporting service operated by us. We do not receive your rules, file names, file contents, or activity history through the app.

This policy describes the local-only version. Pro also supports local external drives. Direct cloud accounts and network storage are not available in this version. Pro is a one-time upgrade for unlimited local organization; Free includes 100 organized files per UTC calendar month.

Folder access and file processing

You choose folders through the macOS folder picker. AnyaOrganize stores the folder names, paths, and macOS permission bookmarks so it can access those folders again. The optional background helper uses permission records for the same approved folders.

Previewing and monitoring read file names, paths, types, sizes, dates, and file-system identifiers to evaluate your rules and distinguish new arrivals from existing files. File operations read file contents to calculate SHA-256 checksums and verify transfers and conditional undo. Rules can move, copy, rename, create destination date folders, and change Finder tags. The app does not perform OCR or analyze document contents with AI.

Saving a rule does not execute it. Automatic organization and processing existing files are separate choices. The first successful monitoring scan excludes existing files from new-arrival automation.

Data stored on your Mac

AnyaOrganize stores the following locally:

• Rules, their names, conditions, exceptions, actions, and folder references.
• Folder permission records and bookmarks used by the app and its helper.
• File observations, queued jobs, file identities, and scheduling records needed to resume work and avoid repeated actions.
• Operation history, including source and destination paths, times, results, checksums, Finder tags where relevant, and recovery information.
• Background, notification, pause, and onboarding preferences, together with local status and error messages.
• Monthly usage records, an installation identifier, anonymous operation-ticket identifiers, and the latest observed time used to enforce the Free allowance. A copy is stored in a shared, non-synchronizing Keychain item. These identifiers are used locally and are not sent to us.

The app and its helper share workspace data in a macOS App Group container. Some preferences are stored in the app's preferences storage. Upgrading from an earlier local storage layout may leave the original records in place as a safety copy. These records are not uploaded by AnyaOrganize. Local status messages may also be written to macOS diagnostic logs; error details can contain information about local operations.

The app does not add its own encryption to its workspace database records. The usage mirror is protected by macOS Keychain. Protection of those records also depends on your macOS account, disk encryption, and backup settings.

Background work and notifications

Background operation and launch at login are optional. You can pause automation independently of this setting. Turning background operation off allows local automation to continue while the main app is open, unless you also pause it.

Activity summaries are optional and off by default. When enabled, the active app or helper requests macOS notification permission. Summary notifications use generic text and omit file names and paths. Their visibility follows your macOS notification and Focus settings. AnyaOrganize does not register for remote push notifications in this version.

Pro purchases

Pro is an optional non-consumable purchase through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment and manages your App Store account; AnyaOrganize does not receive your payment card details. The app and helper use StoreKit to verify the Pro entitlement, including revocations. Restore purchases requests synchronization with the App Store. Apple handles these requests under its own privacy policy. No purchase receipt or transaction history is sent to our servers.

Other apps and system services

If you choose a local folder managed by another sync app, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud Drive, that service may upload files and metadata according to its own settings and privacy policy. AnyaOrganize performs the local operation and does not confirm that a third-party upload has completed.

macOS manages folder permissions, login items, Finder integration, notifications, and system diagnostics. Apple may handle system diagnostics according to your macOS settings. This policy does not describe Apple's services or another application's data handling.

Retention and your choices

Rules, history, queued-job records, permission records, and the retained usage mirror have no automatic expiry in the current version. Removing a rule does not erase its past operation history or retained queue records. Removing a folder stops its use by subsequent app operations and removes its active folder reference, but past paths and related records may remain in local history or other retained workspace data. Removal does not delete files in that folder.

The current version has no in-app command to erase all workspace data or clear history. Deleting the application bundle alone is not a promise that macOS removes its containers, preferences, or prior migration copies. Contact the publisher for instructions if you want to remove all local app records. Recovery and undo information should be reviewed before removing those records.

Files you organize remain in the chosen folders. Copy undo keeps the retired copy in an AnyaOrganize Undo folder. Moves between different volumes may retain an original under a hidden .anyaorganize-recovery-… name for recovery. These retained files have no automatic cleanup in the current version and may contain the full original contents. Removing app records does not remove those files.

You can stop new work with Pause automation, disable individual rules, turn off background operation, and turn off activity summaries. You can also manage login items and notification permissions in macOS Settings.

Support correspondence

If you email us, we receive the email address, message, and attachments you choose to send. We use them to respond to your support or privacy request. These messages are separate from local app records and are handled by our email service. You can contact us about access to or deletion of your correspondence. Please do not include sensitive personal files.

This policy covers the app and support correspondence. Website hosting and cookies are described in the website Privacy & Cookies notice at https://anyaclean.com/privacy/.

Contact and changes

For privacy questions, use help@anyaclean.com. Avoid sending personal files, complete histories, or diagnostic logs unless needed for your request; paths and file names may contain private information. AnyaOrganize does not send them automatically.

We will update this policy before releasing changes that affect how the app handles data, including future direct cloud connections. The policy date identifies the latest revision.
