Principle: Local Data Processing

NetMute processes all data exclusively on your device. No network data, connection logs, or analysis results leave your Mac. The app does not connect to external servers for data processing, does not transmit telemetry, and does not create user profiles.

Network Analysis

All DNS queries, connection data, traffic statistics, and analysis results (including privacy scores and tracker detection) are processed and stored locally on your device. This data is never transmitted to our servers or third parties.

Voluntary Tracker Reporting

NetMute offers the option to voluntarily report unknown tracker or app names to improve our tracker database. This feature works as follows:

  • The report is completely voluntary and opt-in
  • Reports are transmitted anonymously — no user ID, device ID, or IP address is stored
  • Each report requires your explicit consent before transmission
  • Personal data is removed from the report before transmission — only the tracker/app name and domain are sent

No Cookies, No Tracking, No Analytics

The NetMute app does not use cookies, does not employ tracking technologies, and does not collect analytics data. There is no usage tracking within the app.

No Sharing with Third Parties

We do not share data with third parties. Since practically no personal data is collected, there is nothing to share.
