Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how NTFSTool (“NTFSTool”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you visit our website (ntfstool.com) and when you use NTFSTool software (“Software”).
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Software
NTFSTool is primarily a local utility. In most cases, it operates on your device without uploading your files or disk contents to our servers.
However, depending on how you use the Software and which features you enable, we may collect or process limited information such as:
- Basic diagnostics and troubleshooting data (for example, app version, macOS version, device model, error codes, and log snippets).
- Information you voluntarily provide to us (for example, support tickets, screenshots, logs, and diagnostic files).
- Service-related metadata when the Software interacts with online services (for example, activation/license validation, update checks, or download endpoints), which may include IP address, timestamps, and request identifiers.
We do not seek to collect your personal files or disk contents. Please note that logs you choose to share may contain information such as file paths, volume names, or identifiers depending on your environment. Please review what you share before sending it to support.
1.2 Website
When you visit our website, we (and our infrastructure providers) may process limited technical information such as:
- IP address, device/browser type, and basic request metadata (e.g., timestamps, pages requested).
- Cookie-like identifiers used by analytics tools, if enabled on the site.
2. How We Use Information
- Provide, maintain, and improve the website and Software.
- Respond to support requests and communications you initiate.
- Protect against abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website and provide support, such as hosting/CDN and analytics providers, under appropriate safeguards.
We may also disclose information if required to comply with applicable law, lawful requests, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
4. Optional Programs / Third-Party Components
NTFSTool may include optional features, subscription/activation flows, or integrations that are subject to separate notices and/or privacy terms. If you participate in an optional program (for example, a third-party network/resource sharing program), that program will be described separately and requires explicit opt-in where applicable.
Some usage models may include a limited free trial and then require activation to continue using certain features. Different plans may be available, and an optional third-party program may be offered as one of the choices. Participation in any such third-party program is voluntary and requires explicit consent.
5. Data Retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide support, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
7. Children’s Privacy
The website and Software are not directed to children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” above indicates when it was last updated.
