Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Storm Tunnel is a remote port forwarding manager for macOS developed and operated by me, an independent developer in Novi Sad, Serbia. This privacy policy explains how I handle your information when you use our website and application.

My philosophy is simple: your data belongs to you. Storm Tunnel is designed to work entirely locally on your Mac, without sending your personal information to external servers.

2. What We Collect

Application Data

Storm Tunnel does not collect any personal data from the application. The app runs entirely locally on your Mac:

• SSH and AWS configurations are stored locally in your macOS keychain
• Connection logs are stored locally on your device
• No usage analytics or telemetry are collected
• No crash reports are sent automatically
• No personal information is transmitted to our servers

Website Data

When you visit our website at https://storm-tunnel.app, we use minimal analytics:

• Basic website usage statistics via Cloudflare Web Analytics

When you purchase Storm Tunnel Premium:

• Payment processing is handled by Lemon Squeezy, our third-party payment processor
• We only receive minimal information necessary to fulfill your license (email address for license delivery)

3. What We Don't Collect

To be perfectly clear, Storm Tunnel does not collect:

• Your SSH keys or passwords
• Your connection destinations or configurations
• Your IP address or location data
• Your browsing history or usage patterns
• Any telemetry or analytics from the application

4. Website Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand basic website usage. This service:
