The app collects no data at all.

Why it cannot send anything

FILYXA ships with the macOS App Sandbox enabled and declares exactly three entitlements:

com.apple.security.app-sandbox
com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write
com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope

There is no network entitlement. Without com.apple.security.network.client, macOS itself refuses to let the app open an outgoing connection. Verify it on your own machine:

codesign -d --entitlements - /Applications/FILYXA.app

What the app reads

Only inside the one folder you grant it, and only its top level: names, sizes and dates; macOS metadata such as when a file was last opened and which site it came from; file contents when comparing two files for being byte-for-byte identical.

Text in PDFs and screenshots only if you switch content analysis on. It runs on your Mac using PDFKit and Vision. No document, image or file name leaves the machine.

What the app stores

Your settings and rules, a log of every run so any run can be undone, and a cache of content-analysis results. All of it lives in the app's own sandbox container: ~/Library/Containers/studio.gar.fileorganizer/

Moving the app to the Trash and emptying it removes this folder with everything in it.

Folder access

FILYXA can only see folders you select through the standard macOS dialog. Your choice is remembered using a security-scoped bookmark, stored locally and valid only for this app. You can revoke it under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders.

Third parties, children, changes

No analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, no cloud storage, no AI service, no payment provider.

All of this describes the app. Email you send to support is handled separately — see Support email below.

The app collects no data from anyone, and therefore none from children.

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. The app has no network access and cannot notify you — this page is the record.

Support email

Writing to support@filyxa.com is the one place where FILYXA processes personal data. The app is not involved and never sees it.

What is processed: your email address, your message, and anything you attach.

Why: to answer your request. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, the legitimate interest in answering support requests.

How: messages are classified by fixed rules on the mail server, and for documented standard cases the stored answer is sent unchanged. No text is generated, no message is passed to a language model, and nothing is transferred to a third country.

Attachments are never opened automatically: a message with an attachment always goes to a person. The same applies to messages about lost files, crashes, security, legal claims or data protection rights. Every automated reply says that it is automated and how to reach a person.

Retention: support email is deleted after 6 months.

Your rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and complaint to a supervisory authority.

Who is responsible

Controller within the meaning of the GDPR: Giuseppe Antonio Raffaele, Berliner Allee 58, 64295 Darmstadt, gar@filyxa.com.
