Privacy and data handling
Neatwise: Mac Cleaner scans and cleans locally, uploads nothing, contains no analytics or advertising SDK, and moves removed items to the Trash first. It runs inside the macOS App Sandbox, so it reaches a folder only after you grant it. The privacy page states each claim and where it was verified; the security page covers how removal, review and the sandbox work.

Fact layer
Every product statement on this site is drawn from a single source of truth, and every fact names where it was verified — the application's own Info.plist, its published privacy policy, its privacy manifest or its review notes. A fact with no source is an assertion, not a fact, so none is published without one.
