NativeMTP

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 25, 2026

NativeMTP is designed to perform file-management operations locally between your Mac and devices you connect to it.

Data collection

NativeMTP does not collect personal data, does not use advertising trackers, and does not include app analytics or telemetry. NativeMTP does not create user profiles or track activity across apps or websites.

Files and connected devices

NativeMTP accesses local files and folders that you authorize and files stored on connected MTP/PTP devices in order to perform actions you request, including browsing, transferring, previewing, renaming and deleting files.

File contents are not uploaded by NativeMTP to an external service. Transfers occur directly between your Mac and the connected device.

Local folder access

The Mac App Store version of NativeMTP runs inside the macOS App Sandbox. Access to locations outside its default permitted folders requires you to select a folder using the macOS folder picker.

macOS may preserve permission to locations you explicitly authorize so NativeMTP can access them again in future sessions.

Diagnostics

NativeMTP can create diagnostic information locally on your Mac when diagnostics are enabled. Diagnostics are designed to record operational status and counts rather than personal filenames or paths by default.

System frameworks or third-party libraries may occasionally include additional information in error messages. You should review exported diagnostic files before sharing them.

Diagnostic files are not automatically transmitted to NativeMTP. You decide whether to export and share them for troubleshooting.

Network communication

NativeMTP does not use network communication for app analytics, tracking, advertising, or telemetry. App Store downloads, updates, purchases, and other distribution services are provided by Apple and are governed by Apple's own privacy practices.

Third-party services

The NativeMTP website may be delivered through infrastructure operated by third-party hosting and network providers. Those providers may process standard network information required to deliver web content. This website does not use that information to build user profiles.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if NativeMTP's features or data practices change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
