Privacy

The short version: XZIP collects nothing. There is no account, no cloud, no analytics SDK, and no network connection required to use the app.

Your files

Everything XZIP does — compressing, extracting, browsing, previewing — happens locally on your Mac. Your files never leave your machine through XZIP.

Your passwords

Archive passwords you choose to remember are stored in the macOS Keychain, encrypted by the system and readable only on your Mac. We never see them — there is no server for them to be sent to.

Crash reports

If XZIP crashes, macOS may offer to send Apple a crash report under your system settings. XZIP itself ships no crash-reporting or analytics framework. If we ever add opt-in diagnostics, it will be off by default and clearly labeled.

Updates

The updater contacts our release server only to check the latest version number. That request carries no identifier beyond what any HTTP request includes, and nothing is logged beyond standard, short-lived server logs.

Questions

Open an issue on GitHub or email privacy@xzip.dev. This policy can only get shorter.
