01 Overview

EraseMe is built on a simple principle: your protected files stay on your device. Encryption, decryption and deletion are performed locally, with no cloud sync and no file upload.

๐Ÿ”’ TL;DR: EraseMe does not upload your files, encryption password or encryption keys. The app verifies Pro licenses locally. If you purchase Pro or contact support, your payment provider or support channel may process the details needed to deliver and support your license.

02 Data We May Collect

The following table describes the limited data we may collect and why:

Data type Purpose Retained
Purchase email address License delivery & support Until deletion request
License holder and device ID Generating a device-bound Pro license Lifetime of license or until deletion request
Support messages Answering questions and troubleshooting issues As long as needed for support records
Update check request Checking whether a newer installer is available, when you use the update checker Not stored by the app

03 What We Do Not Upload

We want to be absolutely clear about what EraseMe does not upload or transmit to us:

  • Your files, documents, photos, or any file content.
  • Your encryption password or derived encryption keys.
  • File names, paths, or directory structures on your device.
  • The contents of your clipboard or screen.
  • Any data from other applications on your device.
  • Your location, browsing history, or contact information (beyond purchase email).

04 Local Processing

All encryption, decryption, and deletion operations happen entirely on your device. Encryption keys are derived locally from your password and are not transmitted to EraseMe.

EraseMe does not require an internet connection for file protection. The app can use the internet only for optional update metadata checks if you choose to check for updates.

Your monitoring password may be stored locally on Windows using the operating system's protected data storage so the app can continue monitoring after restart. It is not uploaded to EraseMe.

05 Purchase & Payment Data

Payments for EraseMe Pro are processed by third-party payment processors (e.g., Paddle, Gumroad). We do not store or have access to your payment card details.

Your purchase email is used solely for delivering your license key and providing support. It will not be used for marketing without your explicit consent.

06 Cookies & Website

This policy applies to the EraseMe application. The website may use basic hosting logs or payment-provider cookies required to operate purchases and support.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting your ability to use the Software.

07 Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access โ€” request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Rectification โ€” correct inaccurate personal data.
  • Erasure โ€” request deletion of your personal data.
  • Portability โ€” receive your data in a portable format.
  • Objection โ€” object to processing of your personal data where applicable.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at frenodesign@gmail.com.

08 Children's Privacy

EraseMe is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
