Terms & Privacy Policy

These terms set out the rules for using the “Mac Explorer” app (the “App”) and the website available at mac-explorer.vercel.app (the “Website”), as well as the rules for purchasing a license for the App.

The service provider and the entity responsible for the App and the Website is IT.focus Jakub Król, ul. Warmińska 8/6, 44-335 Jastrzębie-Zdrój, Poland, VAT ID: PL6332194440 (“we,” the “service provider”).

The App is a native file manager for macOS, designed in particular for developers and people switching from Windows.

• The App can be downloaded and used free of charge during a trial period lasting 30 days.
• After the trial period ends, continued use of the App requires purchasing a license in one of the available variants (Personal, Small Team, Company).
• A license covers a specific number of devices and grants the right to free updates up to every major version within the purchased license.
• The license is a one-time payment — it is not a subscription and does not renew automatically.

The sale of licenses, payment handling and tax settlement is carried out on our behalf by an external partner operating under the Merchant of Record (MoR) model — Polar Software, Inc. This means that Polar acts as the official seller (reseller) of the license to the end customer and takes on the obligations related to taxes (VAT, sales tax, etc.), payment handling and fraud prevention. Polar uses the payment infrastructure of Stripe, Inc.

In practice this means that:

• We do not handle or store payment card data — this is done exclusively by the billing partner and its payment provider.
• We do not issue invoices or receipts directly — sales documents and payment confirmations are issued by the Merchant of Record.
• Managing your purchased license, payments, refunds or billing data takes place in the customer portal provided by the billing partner.
• Even so, we're always happy to help — if anything needs clarification or intervention, just contact us and we'll walk you through the process.

Complaints regarding the operation of the App can be submitted via the support form. We handle them without undue delay, no later than within 14 days.

Because the subject of the sale is digital content (a software license) and delivery is immediate, a consumer's right to withdraw from the contract may be limited if performance began with the consumer's explicit consent before the withdrawal deadline. Refund matters are handled in accordance with the Merchant of Record's policy and applicable law — we'll help you get in touch with the billing partner.

• The App is provided “as is,” with the utmost care taken over its quality, security and performance.
• In matters not covered here, Polish law applies, in particular the Civil Code and the Consumer Rights Act.
• We reserve the right to change these terms; changes do not affect acquired rights. We will announce significant changes on the Website.

The controller of your personal data, in accordance with Art. 4(7) GDPR, is IT.focus Jakub Król, ul. Warmińska 8/6, 44-335 Jastrzębie-Zdrój, Poland, VAT ID: PL6332194440. For all matters concerning the protection of personal data, you can contact us via the support form.

We process data to the minimum extent necessary, for the following purposes:

• Analytics data about the use of the Website (e.g. visited pages, approximate location, device and browser type, statistical data) — to analyze traffic, improve services and develop the product. This data is aggregated and statistical in nature.
• Contact data you provide voluntarily when writing to us (e.g. email address and message content) — to respond to and handle your request.
• Data related to the purchase of a license (transaction and billing data) — processed primarily by the billing partner under the Merchant of Record model; only limited information necessary for license handling and support may reach us.

• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (the controller's legitimate interest) — for analytics, service development and security, and handling correspondence.
• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract) — for providing and handling the App license.
• Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation) — for any tax and accounting obligations (fulfilled mainly by the Merchant of Record).
• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) — for cookies and analytics technologies that require consent, where we use them.

In connection with the use of external service providers, your data may be entrusted to the following categories of recipients, under data processing agreements (Art. 28 GDPR):

• The Website's hosting and analytics provider (Vercel Inc.) — infrastructure and aggregated visit statistics (Vercel Analytics, without cookies).
• The behavioral analytics provider (Google LLC) — Google Analytics 4, only after the user gives consent.
• The Merchant of Record billing partner (Polar Software, Inc.) and its payment provider (Stripe, Inc.) — handling sales, payments and tax settlement.
• The provider of the releases and updates repository from which the App downloads new versions.

We place great importance on privacy. The App is cut off from the internet by default and connects to the network only in order to:

• check for and download updates,
• handle the trial period,
• verify and activate a license.

Beyond the cases above, the App does not send any data to our servers — including telemetry data or anonymous usage statistics. The names and contents of your files never leave your device because of the App. If you configure your own script or action that uses the network, that is your deliberate, local decision and not an action of the App's core.

• Analytics data — for the period necessary for statistical purposes, in accordance with the analytics services' settings.
• Correspondence — for the time necessary to handle the matter and for the limitation period of any claims.
• Transaction data — for the period required by tax and accounting regulations (fulfilled mainly by the Merchant of Record).

In connection with the processing of data, you have the following rights:

• the right to access your data and receive a copy of it,
• the right to rectification (correction) of your data,
• the right to erasure of your data (“the right to be forgotten”),
• the right to restrict processing,
• the right to data portability,
• the right to object to processing based on a legitimate interest,
• the right to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal),
• the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority — the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland).

Some of our providers (including Vercel, Polar, Stripe) are based outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the USA. In such cases, data transfers take place based on GDPR-compliant mechanisms, such as standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or other permissible transfer bases.

The Website uses cookies and Google Analytics 4 solely for analytics purposes — to better understand how users use the Website and to improve the services offered. We do not run ads, do not profile users and do not sell data.

Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC, USA). If consent is given, the Website loads GA4 scripts with two measurement IDs: G-4B02GVWX2R (temporary domain) and G-7KRV2M9FZJ (target domain). GA4 may set cookies (including _ga, _ga_*) stored for up to 2 years. Data may be transferred to the USA based on standard contractual clauses (SCCs).

Consent Mode v2. Before consent is given, all analytics services are disabled by default (analytics_storage: denied). GA4 scripts are loaded only after clicking “Accept” in the cookie banner. The decision is stored in the browser's localStorage.

Vercel Analytics.The Website uses Vercel's built-in analytics (Vercel Inc., USA), which collects aggregated traffic data (page views, visitor country) without using cookies and without the ability to identify a specific user.

How to manage consent and cookies. You can withdraw or change your consent to analytics cookies at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings (which will remove the entry from localStorage). You can also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or your browser's privacy settings. Not accepting analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use the Website.

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our services or in the law. The current version is always available on this page, and we state the date of the last update above.
