Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 10, 2026
Overview
ForceQuit Pro ("the App") is developed by Kevin Merz ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our macOS application.
The short version: ForceQuit Pro does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All process management happens entirely on your device.
Data Collection
We do not collect any data. Specifically:
- We do not collect personal information
- We do not collect usage analytics
- We do not track your behavior
- We do not monitor which processes you terminate
- We do not upload any data to any server
Local Processing
All process management happens entirely on your Mac. The App reads the list of running processes using standard macOS APIs and allows you to terminate them. No data ever leaves your device.
System Permissions
ForceQuit Pro requires certain permissions to function:
- Automation Permission: Required to send quit commands to applications via Apple Events
These permissions are used solely for the App's core functionality and are never used to collect or transmit data.
Local Storage
The App stores your preferences (such as favorite apps and settings) locally on your device using macOS's standard UserDefaults system. This data never leaves your device and can be deleted by removing the App.
In-App Purchases
ForceQuit Pro offers in-app purchases through Apple's App Store. All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple. We do not have access to your payment information or Apple ID.
Third-Party Services
ForceQuit Pro does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
If you download the app from the Mac App Store, Apple may collect certain information as described in their privacy policy. We do not have access to this data.
Children's Privacy
Since we do not collect any data, ForceQuit Pro is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
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.
