System Ready

Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 23, 2025
Applies to: System Ready websites (e.g., sodini.io) and macOS apps (e.g., Perminator and future tools) for macOS 26+

TL;DR

  • Apps: No tracking. No ad tech. No data sale/sharing.
    • Perminator: fully offline, sandboxed, no network access.
    • Networked apps (e.g., SSH): connect only to the hosts you choose; we don’t collect who/what/where.
    • We may use third-party SDKs/libraries for functionality (e.g., SSH/crypto, UI), but analytics and tracking features are disabled.
  • Website: Standard server logs (IP, user-agent, referrer, timestamp) for security/debugging; logs are rotated and retained briefly.

App Store metrics: Apple may provide us with aggregated, non-identifying statistics (downloads, crashes, country-level data). We don’t receive device-level identifiers.

Legal bases (EU/UK GDPR):

  • Local preferences and essential processing: legitimate interests (to operate the app).
  • We do not rely on consent for analytics because we don’t run analytics in the app.

Third-Party SDKs & Libraries

We sometimes include third-party components to provide functionality (examples: SSH/crypto libraries, UI frameworks, system integrations). Our rules:

  • No analytics/tracking SDKs in apps.
  • If a bundled SDK offers optional analytics/telemetry, we disable it.
  • If we ever introduce crash reporting or diagnostics beyond Apple’s aggregates, it will be opt-in and documented in the app’s About/Settings and here.

For transparency, each app’s About screen (or website product page) will list notable third-party components used by that app.

Our websites (e.g., sodini.io)

  • Data we log: IP address, date/time, requested URL, referrer, user-agent.
  • Why: Security, abuse prevention, reliability, and basic troubleshooting.
  • Retention: Logs are regularly rotated and kept only as long as needed (typically 7–30 days), unless we must keep specific entries for security/legal reasons.
  • Cookies/trackers: No ad/behavioral tracking. If we embed third-party content (e.g., a YouTube video), that third party may set its own cookies per their policies.
  • Do Not Track: We don’t personalize or profile, so DNT has no effect to toggle.

Security

We design our apps to avoid collecting data at all. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures (least-privilege access, encryption in transit on the website, hardened infrastructure). No system is perfectly secure, but minimal data means minimal risk.

Data retention

  • Apps: Local preferences remain on your device until you remove the app or reset settings.
  • Website logs: Rotated and deleted on a rolling basis (typ. 7–30 days), unless needed longer for security/legal reasons.

Who we are

System Ready is a small, developer-run project by James Sodini building macOS utilities and publishing related content.
