This policy describes how HashCalc handles information. If you have questions, contact the developer using the support or privacy contact details shown in the app’s App Store listing.
Hash computations run on your Mac. The app does not sell your data. Optional online features send only what is needed to VirusTotal when you use them, as described below.
HashCalc reads files, folders, or other inputs you choose so it can compute cryptographic digests (hashes) and related operations locally. That content stays on your device unless you explicitly use a feature that sends data off-device (see VirusTotal below).
The app may store preferences and usage statistics (for example, aggregate counters such as completed runs or timing summaries) in your user settings on this Mac. This data is not transmitted to the developer by the app.
Optional values such as an HMAC key or a VirusTotal API key can be stored in the macOS Keychain on your device to keep them out of plain-text storage where possible.
If you use VirusTotal integration, the app sends a request to VirusTotal’s servers that identifies a file by its cryptographic hash (for example SHA-256). It does not upload your file contents to VirusTotal through this lookup. VirusTotal receives the hash and returns analysis information according to your account or the public API rules.
VirusTotal’s handling of data is governed by their policies. See VirusTotal Terms of Service and VirusTotal Privacy Policy.
HashCalc does not include third-party advertising SDKs. The app does not use the developer’s own analytics service to track you across apps or websites.
This policy may be updated from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when it is revised. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
