Privacy Policy

Gocast has no account and collects nothing about you. This page says exactly what it keeps and when it goes online.

What Gocast collects

Nothing. Gocast has no account, no analytics, no ads and no crash reporting. We never receive anything you type, copy or run.

What stays on your Mac

Your presets, settings and clipboard history are files in ~/Library/Application Support/com.hugo.gocast/, readable only by your Mac user. They are never uploaded. Clipboard history is kept as plain files, not encrypted. Passwords copied from password managers are never kept, and you can choose apps whose copies are never kept.

When Gocast goes online

Only twice, and neither request carries anything you typed or copied:

Checking for updates, from the Gocast project on GitHub, about once a day. Turn it off with Settings › General › Check for updates automatically.
Exchange rates for the calculator, from Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), once a day. Turn it off with Settings › General › Calculate in search.

GitHub and Frankfurter see the request like any website sees a visit, such as your IP address, under their own privacy policies. Gocast sends them nothing else.

Third parties

Gocast shares no data with anyone. The only outside services it contacts are the two above.

Keeping and deleting your data

Clipboard history is kept for one month by default; change it in Settings › Clipboard (1 day to forever). Pinned items don’t expire. Clear History removes it at once. To delete everything, quit Gocast and delete ~/Library/Application Support/com.hugo.gocast/.

Changing your mind

Turn off clipboard history in Settings › Clipboard, and update checks or exchange rates in Settings › General, at any time. Nothing has to be sent to us, because nothing ever was.
