Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 30, 2026
Overview
CloudCast ("the App") is a native macOS application developed by Glowfish LLC. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the App accesses and how it is handled.
Data Collection
CloudCast does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data on external servers. The App operates entirely on your device.
Cloud Credentials
To display your cloud cost data, the App requires credentials for your cloud provider accounts (Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and/or Microsoft Azure). These credentials are:
- Stored locally in the macOS Keychain, which is encrypted and managed by the operating system
- Never transmitted to Glowfish LLC or any third party
- Used only to make API calls directly from your device to your own cloud provider accounts
Cloud API Calls
All communication with cloud provider APIs (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure) is made directly from your device to the respective cloud provider. Glowfish LLC does not operate any intermediary servers and has no access to your cloud accounts or cost data.
License Verification
If you use the Friends & Family access feature, your Apple ID email address is checked against a list stored in Apple's CloudKit service to verify eligibility. This is the only scenario where an email address is processed, and it is used solely for access verification.
Analytics and Tracking
CloudCast does not include any analytics frameworks, tracking pixels, or telemetry. No usage data is collected or transmitted.
Third-Party Services
The App does not share any data with third parties. The only external services contacted are:
- Cloud provider APIs (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure) using your own credentials
- Apple's App Store for in-app purchase verification
- Apple's CloudKit for Friends & Family license verification (if used)
Data Storage
Cost data fetched from your cloud accounts is cached locally on your device using SwiftData. This data remains on your Mac and is not synced or uploaded anywhere.
Children's Privacy
CloudCast is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
