Explorer for Mac

Explorer for Mac Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-01 Last updated: 2026-10-01

나영재 (Youngjae Nah) (the “Operator”) provides the macOS app Explorer for Mac (the “App”) and its paid upgrade Explorer Pro (“Pro”), and processes personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act of the Republic of Korea and other applicable laws.

Summary — The App does not collect your files, folders, or usage history, and contains no analytics or tracking (telemetry). The only time the App goes online is to check for updates. Minimal information is processed only when you buy Pro and get your license, through our payment provider.

1. Information handled by the App

  1. Files and folders: Information about the files and folders the App shows and manages is processed only on your Mac and is never sent to the Operator.
  2. Settings and history: Tabs, Favorites, recent paths, view settings, saved searches, and similar data are stored only on your Mac.
  3. License: An imported license file (containing a name, email address, and order number) is stored on your Mac, and the App verifies it offline. It does not contact any server to do so.
  4. Update checks: To see whether a new version exists, the App requests the update feed from www.yjlab.io. As with any web request, your IP address and the App version may reach the website host (GitHub). No system information is sent, and automatic update checks can be turned off in Settings.

2. Personal information processed by the Operator

Context Items Purpose Retention
Pro purchase Name, email, country, order number, amount paid (the Operator never receives payment card details) Order confirmation, license issuance, refunds and support, tax compliance As required by law (e.g. 5 years for e-commerce payment records in Korea)
License issuance License key, IP address Verifying the purchase and generating the license file; abuse prevention Not stored (discarded once the request is handled)
Support requests Email address, message content Responding to inquiries 1 year after the inquiry is resolved

The license file contains the name, email address, and order number from your purchase. It is delivered to you and is not kept separately on the Operator’s servers.

3. Sharing with third parties

The Operator does not provide your personal information to third parties, except where required by law.

4. Processors and international transfers

The following companies process personal information to provide the service. All are located outside Korea (in the United States). By purchasing, requesting a license, or contacting support, you consent to these transfers; if you do not, you cannot use those services (such as buying Pro). Using the free version is unaffected.

Recipient Country Items Purpose When / how Retention
Lemon Squeezy, LLC (a Stripe company) USA Name, email, country, payment information Payment processing as Merchant of Record, taxes, license key issuance At purchase, via the checkout page Per the provider’s policy and applicable law
Cloudflare, Inc. USA License key, IP address Running the license issuance server When you request a license file, over the network Discarded after the request (except the provider’s short-lived security logs)
GitHub, Inc. USA IP address, App version Hosting the website and update files When you visit the website or the App checks for updates, over the network Per the provider’s policy

The website (yjlab.io) uses Google Fonts to display text, which may send your IP address to Google.

5. Deletion

Personal information is deleted without delay once its retention period ends or its purpose is fulfilled. Electronic records are deleted in a way that cannot be recovered.

6. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, deletion of, or suspension of processing of your personal information at any time by contacting us below, and we will act without delay. Information that must be retained by law (such as payment records) may not be deleted until its retention period ends.

Information stored inside the App (settings, license, and so on) can be deleted by you directly. To remove a license, go to Settings ▸ Explorer Pro ▸ Remove License.

7. Security measures

The Operator’s principle is to process as little personal information as possible. The App does not send your data anywhere, the license server stores no personal information, and licenses are digitally signed to prevent forgery.

8. Children

The Operator does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14.
