Privacy Policy

AudioForge (Windows) & Pure Audio Converter (macOS) · Safon.soft · Effective date: July 21, 2026 (replaces the version dated February 5, 2026)

The short version

1. Audio files and local processing

Both apps convert audio entirely on your device using a bundled FFmpeg engine. The apps only read the audio files you explicitly select and write converted files to the folder you choose. No file contents, file names, folder paths, tags or any other information about your media are ever transmitted anywhere.

2. Anonymous usage analytics — AudioForge for Windows only

To understand which features are used and to find and fix errors, AudioForge for Windows sends a small number of anonymous technical events to Aptabase, a privacy-first analytics service (data processed in the European Union).

What is sent

• App version, operating-system version, interface language;
• Anonymous product events: app started/closed, files added (count only), conversion started/finished (output format, bitrate, number of files, duration in seconds), errors (technical error type — with file names and paths automatically removed), purchase screen shown/dismissed;
• A random session identifier that is regenerated and cannot be tied to your identity or device.

What is never sent

• No audio content, file names, folder paths or media metadata;
• No name, e-mail, account or any personal identifier (the app has no accounts);
• No advertising identifiers, no cross-app or web tracking, no precise location, no IP-address storage in our dashboards.

This data is aggregated statistics only. It cannot be used — by us or anyone else — to identify you. We do not sell or share this data; it is processed by Aptabase solely to show us aggregate charts (see the Aptabase privacy policy).

3. Purchases

The optional Pro upgrade is processed entirely by the Microsoft Store (Windows) or the App Store (macOS). We never see or store your payment details. The app only checks your license status with the store to unlock Pro features, including restoring Pro for customers who bought the earlier paid version.

4. Your choices

Conversion works fully offline: if the app has no internet access (e.g. blocked by a firewall), every feature keeps working — analytics simply is not sent. If you would like an in-app switch to disable analytics, contact us; we plan to add one in a future update.

5. Children

The apps are general-purpose utilities, collect no personal data and are suitable for all ages.

6. Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new effective date.
