Your data stays
on your machine.
Storage Genius is a fully local, offline application. We collect zero data — no telemetry, no cloud sync, no accounts. What happens on your PC stays on your PC.
The short version
Storage Genius does not collect any personal information. All processing happens locally on your device. No data is ever sent to any server. The app functions entirely without an internet connection. This is not a loophole-filled legal document — it is a genuine commitment baked into the architecture.
No Data Collection — Ever
Storage Genius does not collect, record, transmit, or store any personal data. Not now, not in a future update. The app has no network permission requirements beyond what Windows itself grants to any desktop application.
100% Local Processing
Every scan, analysis, and cleanup operation runs entirely on your own machine. File paths, app names, sizes, and modification dates are read locally, processed in memory, and discarded when you close the app. None of that information ever leaves your computer.
No Internet Connection Required
Storage Genius works completely offline. It does not ping any server, phone home, check for analytics endpoints, or make any network requests. You can run it on an air-gapped machine and it will work identically.
No Accounts or Sign-In
There is no account system, no login, no email required. You download the installer, run it, and that's it. We never ask for — and therefore cannot leak — any identifying information.
No Telemetry or Analytics
There are no crash reporters, usage trackers, heatmaps, or analytics SDKs bundled in the app. We have no idea how many people use it, which features they click, or what errors they encounter — and that's intentional.
No Cookies or Trackers on This Website
This landing page uses no cookies, no third-party tracking pixels, and no ad networks. If we add analytics in the future we will update this policy and give you an explicit opt-in.
What the App Reads (and Why)
To surface disk usage, Storage Genius reads file-system metadata (names, sizes, last-modified timestamps) and the Windows Registry for installed-app information. This data is used only to build the in-app display and is never written to disk beyond what Windows normally caches, never sent anywhere, and cleared from memory when you exit.
Open Source
Don't take our word for it — the source code is MIT-licensed and publicly available. You can audit every line of Rust and TypeScript to verify that no telemetry or network calls are present.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change how data is handled (for example, by adding optional crash reporting), we will update this page and bump the version below. We will never introduce data collection silently.
