Matchlight Privacy Policy
Mantiqo LLC — Updated 26 October 2026

Matchlight searches filenames and paths and performs file operations locally on your Mac. Mantiqo does not receive your filenames, folder paths, file contents, saved searches or search history. The app has no telemetry or advertising SDK.

Preferences and saved searches are stored on your Mac. Access to folders is subject to macOS permissions. Network volumes, cloud providers, applications you open and destinations you choose in the system Share menu have their own privacy practices.

A seven-day trial begins online. The license service receives the product identifier and a product-specific cryptographic hash derived from the Mac identity. Authoritative trial history retains the original start and end so reinstalling or deleting local state cannot restart the trial. Rate limiting uses a hashed network identifier; ordinary service providers may process connection metadata.

For paid activation, the service validates your purchase key with Polar and returns a signed, product/device-bound receipt with up to 30 days of offline validity. The app does not persist the plaintext key; private local receipt storage contains an encrypted renewal credential. Removing local activation does not delete server trial history or cancel a purchase. Polar processes payments, order emails, license keys and customer-portal recovery under its own policies. No card information is stored by Matchlight.

Contact hello@mantiqo.com for privacy questions and applicable access/deletion requests. Records needed to enforce a one-time trial, fulfill purchases or meet legal obligations may need to be retained. Uninstalling the app does not necessarily remove preferences, saved searches or receipt storage. File operations change your actual files; Undo history is held only during the current app session.
