Reclaimr is designed with privacy at its core. Your files stay on your machine, and we collect only what you explicitly opt into.
Last updated: February 13, 2026
This privacy policy covers both the Reclaimr desktop application and the reclaimr.dev website. Reclaimr is a local-only desktop application — all scanning and file deletion happens entirely on your computer.
Reclaimr offers opt-in telemetry that is disabled by default. No data is collected unless you explicitly enable it in the app settings.
When telemetry is enabled, the app sends anonymized data to our analytics service:
We never transmit file paths, filenames, directory names, or any personally identifiable information from your system. No account or login is required to use the app. All scanning and deletion operations remain entirely local to your machine.
The reclaimr.dev website uses privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site. This includes:
No personally identifiable information is intentionally collected through the website.
Our analytics service uses first-party cookies for session tracking on the website. Cloudflare, which hosts and serves the site, may set security-related cookies (e.g. __cf_bm). We do not use any advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
Reclaimr uses the following third-party services:
Website and app analytics data are retained according to our analytics provider's retention policies. You can disable telemetry at any time in the app settings — once disabled, no further data will be sent from the application.
You can use browser privacy settings or ad blockers to block website analytics. If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the GDPR including the right to access, correct, or delete your data. If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA.
