Overview
Captain's Deck is a macOS file manager application developed and operated by Multimodal Solutions. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your information when you use our application.
Captain's Deck is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect personal data, analytics, or tracking information from our users.
Data Collection
Captain's Deck accesses your file system solely for the purpose of displaying and managing your files. This data:
- Remains entirely on your device
- Is never transmitted to our servers or any third party
- Is only accessed when you actively browse or operate on files
Local Storage
All application settings, preferences, and data are stored locally on your Mac. We do not have access to this data. The application stores:
- User preferences and settings
- Bookmarks and saved locations
- Connection details for remote servers (SFTP, FTP, S3, etc.)
- Custom themes and keyboard shortcuts
- Workspace configurations
Remote Connections
Captain's Deck supports connecting to remote servers (SFTP, FTP, S3, WebDAV, SMB, AFP, NFS) and cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox). When using these features:
- Connection credentials are stored locally on your device
- Data is transferred directly between your Mac and the remote server
- No data passes through our servers
- We do not have access to your remote server credentials
License Verification
When you purchase a Captain's Deck license, minimal communication occurs with our licensing server to validate your license key. This process:
- Only transmits the license key itself
- Does not collect usage metrics or personal information
- Does not track your file system contents or usage patterns
Update Checking
Captain's Deck periodically checks for application updates via the Sparkle framework. These requests do not transmit any personal information or usage data.
Third-Party Services
Captain's Deck does not integrate with third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The application operates entirely offline except for license verification, update checks, and user-initiated remote connections.
Children's Privacy
Captain's Deck is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
