Privacy
The app collects nothing about you.
No account, no telemetry, no tracking. Two network calls exist and both are named below.
We do not collect your data
AmpleCapacity has no account, no sign-in and no telemetry. It does not send your file names, paths, folder sizes, scan results or anything else about your Mac to us or to anyone else.
The scan stays on your Mac
File names, paths, sizes, dates and scan summaries are read on your Mac and stay there. They are written only to your own disk, in the app's own storage, so it can show you a previous scan.
The app makes three network calls, and only three
One to check whether a newer version exists. One to validate a licence key when you enter it. One, about once a week, to ask whether your licence key is still valid. It makes no other network call. Fonts are built into the app rather than fetched.
Licence keys
A licence key is checked on your Mac against a key built into the app, so activating works without an internet connection.
The weekly licence check, in full
About once a week the app asks our server whether your key is still good. It sends one thing: a one-way fingerprint of your key. Not the key itself, nothing about your Mac, nothing about your files, no name and no email. We keep the date of the last check and a count of how many have happened, against the key — not against you, and not against an address.
We are telling you the one thing this does reveal: because the app only asks while it is open, the date of the last check tells us roughly when that key was last used. That is the price of being able to switch off a key, and we would rather say it than let you find it.
A key is switched off only when the payment behind it was reversed — a chargeback or a refund. If that happens the app stops clearing files and says so. If it is a mistake, write to us and we will put it back.
If the app cannot reach us it keeps working. It only stops after a fortnight of failed checks, so being offline for a holiday changes nothing.
Buying
Payment is taken by our payment processor. Your name, email address, billing country and payment details are given to them, not to us. We receive your email address so we can answer you if you write to us, and a record that a sale happened. We never see your card.
This website
The site is served by Cloudflare. The one cookie this site can set is one we set deliberately on our own machines, so that our own visiting does not pollute the counts described below. Cloudflare keeps ordinary server logs, which include the IP address of visitors, for their own security purposes.
Counting visits
We count page views on our own server so we know whether anyone is reading this. For each visit we add one to a count of the page, the day, the country Cloudflare tells us the request came from, and the site you followed a link from, if any. That is all. No cookies, no identifier, no script in the page, no IP address stored, nothing shared with anyone else, and no way for us to recognise you or follow you between visits or across sites.
Email
If you write to hello@amplecapacity.com we keep that email so we can answer and refer back to it. We do not add you to a mailing list.
The test list
During the private test, which ended on 7 October 2026, we kept the email addresses of people who asked to take part. That list has been deleted, and we no longer collect addresses for testing.
Your rights
Write to hello@amplecapacity.com to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. Since the app collects nothing, in practice this is your emails to us and your purchase record.
