FileFlow runs entirely on your Mac. It has no servers, no accounts, and no analytics — there is no “us” collecting anything about you.

What FileFlow does

FileFlow is a macOS application that watches a folder you choose and runs a pipeline you configure on each file — for example, cropping an image and then sending it somewhere. Everything happens locally on your computer. The files you process never pass through any server operated by FileFlow, because none exists.

What we collect

Nothing. FileFlow contains no analytics, telemetry, tracking, or crash reporting. It makes no network connections except the ones you explicitly configure (see below), and those go directly from your Mac to the service you chose — never to us.

Credentials stored on your Mac

When you connect an external service, FileFlow stores the credentials for it in your Mac’s Keychain, the operating system’s encrypted secret store. These never leave your computer except to authenticate directly with the service they belong to. You can remove them at any time by disconnecting the service in FileFlow’s settings.

Google Photos

If you connect Google Photos, FileFlow uploads the images you direct it to from your Mac straight to your own Google Photos library, using Google’s official API. It requests only the permissions needed to do that:

Add to your library — to upload images and create albums.
See only what FileFlow created — to find and reuse an album it made earlier, so repeat uploads land in the right place.

FileFlow cannot read, browse, or download the rest of your Google Photos library — only the items it uploaded itself. Your Google sign-in token is stored locally in your Keychain and is used solely to perform these uploads.

FileFlow’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. FileFlow does not transfer or sell Google user data, and uses it only to provide the upload feature you requested.

Wheelhouse

If you connect a Wheelhouse staging gallery, FileFlow uploads images directly from your Mac to the Wheelhouse instance and studio you specify, authenticated with an API key you provide. Those images and that key go only to your Wheelhouse backend.

Children

FileFlow is a tool for managing your own files and is not directed at children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the “last updated” date above will change with it.
