KelpPrivacy
Your data stays yours.
Kelp keeps your data on your Mac and with your storage providers. Nothing else.
Keys stay in your Keychain
Secret access keys go into the macOS Keychain, the same place macOS keeps your passwords. Never into a settings file, a log or a crash report.
Files go straight to your provider
Uploads and downloads move directly between your Mac and your storage. There is no Kelp server for them to pass through.
No tracking
No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting services. Kelp doesn't know how, or how much, you use it.
In detail
What's stored, and where.
- Secret access keys
- The macOS Keychain, and nowhere else.
- Connection details
- Name, provider, region, endpoint and access key ID, in a settings file in Kelp's folder on your Mac.
- Last bucket and folder
- The same settings file, so each connection reopens where you left off.
- Bucket size counts
- Saved on your Mac, so you don't have to count again.
- Your files
- With your storage provider. Kelp only saves a copy on your Mac when you download it.
