Portly Companion Privacy Policy

Effective August 1, 2026

Data collection

Portly Companion does not collect, store, sell, or transmit personal data to the developer or to third parties.

Local communication

The app communicates only with an existing Portly service running on your Mac through the loopback address 127.0.0.1. It uses that local connection to display server status and send start, stop, and restart requests. These requests do not leave your Mac.

Local files

Portly Companion is sandboxed and does not read project files. The separately installed Portly service may keep its configuration and server logs locally on your Mac. Those files are controlled by you and are not uploaded by Portly Companion.

Support

For privacy or support questions, open an issue in the public Portly repository on GitHub.
