The app

Scrubs reads your disks on your Mac and never sends your files, their names or what it finds anywhere. It has no analytics and no tracking. It goes online only for these:

Update checksOpt-in

At most once a day, only after you agree. It sends which version of Scrubs you have and, like any request, your IP address.

Refunded licensesWith a license

A few times a day while Scrubs runs, licensed copies fetch the list of refunded licenses. It sends nothing about you beyond, like any request, your IP address.

Activating a licenseOnce per Mac

Sends your license and an anonymous ID for your Mac that can't be traced back to it. We keep which Macs the license is active on and since when. Your license page shows them, and you can free a Mac there.

Free deletesWithout a license

When you open the delete sheet without a license, and when you use a free delete, sends the same anonymous Mac ID, so we can count the 2 free deletes each Mac gets. We also keep a daily tally of how often the sheet asked and how many free deletes were left, without the Mac ID.

Feedback

Tell us what you think, in the welcome window, the scan window's sidebar and Help › Send Feedback, opens a Google Form in your browser. Scrubs itself sends nothing; the link only fills in which version you have. The form asks for no name or email, every question is optional, and what you type goes to Google Forms, under Google's privacy policy, and to us.

Buying

Purchases are made through Stripe, through Link, which is the seller and handles payment and tax. Stripe's privacy policy covers the payment, and we never see your card. Stripe gives us your name and email address so we can send your license.

Email

We use your email address to send your license, to send it again when you ask on Find your license, and to answer you when you write to us. We send no newsletters or marketing.

The website

getscrubs.app sets no cookies and runs no scripts that track you. It counts visits without identifying anyone: for each page view, click on Download or Buy, download and update check, it records the page, the site that linked to it, the country and whether the visitor looks like a bot. It records no IP address, cookie or other identifier, so a count can't be tied to you. Our host processes IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from attacks.

How long we keep it

Only as long as we need it to run Scrubs and sell licenses, or as the law requires.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, and to have it corrected, deleted, or limited, and you can object to how we use it, by writing to support@getscrubs.app.
